Feedback 9/14 - Crates

Feedback on Crate system, testing thus far:
For context: I have not been able to run a crate thus far. The issues with the game crashing out have impacted my ability to run crates to the point where I have not yet been able to run one. The fact that you drop a crate when your game crashes paired with the ridiculous state the servers have been in makes the crate system extremely frustrating. I had put together my first crate, it was equipped, and then the game's visuals froze and had to be restarted. Crate gone, of course, when I got back.
I am very aware that if people can retain a crate when they crash people will abuse the mechanic, but given the instability of the servers, this isn't functional right now.
I will suggest that having a period where the crate is frozen on the ground when it is dropped would not reduce pvp and it would give people whose game has crashed a chance to get back in and at least defend their crate.
