Event Suggestion Change the darkrp airdrop messages in chat

Suggestion Title: Change the darkrp airdrop messages in chat
Suggestion Description: The new airdrop mission is pretty cool, but the global messages in chat are quite disconnected from roleplay for the majority of people and are (in my absolutely infallible opinion) quite darkRP-esque. I'm half expecting a ULX MOTD to appear in chat telling me to open my PAC3 menu.

Airdrop announcements should be one or a combination of:

1. Via the Dark Web App: Under 'Bounties' or vice versa, a timer for airdrop mission with a location. When this happens, a notification should play on the Dark Web app if you have notifications on.
2. Via the Messages App: Ability to send a text to a phone number to 'opt-in' for the airdrop mission details, these details are texted to you when that happens
3. Via chat or context hints, but only in a small radius around the airdrop event: The initial airdrop should be communicated through either option 1 or 2, with updates and results of the airdrop being broadcast in chat in a local radius around the airdrop itself.
4. Via org chat: Ability, as an organisation leader, to 'opt-in' for the airdrop mission details which are broadcast to your org via org chat.

Why should this be added?:
+ Consistency: Org missions are now under one umbrella app
+ Less visual clutter and text for people who aren't involved or interested in the airdrop
+ Makes more sense than having an advert appear in chat for everyone in the city to see
+ Reduces the possibility of tabbing out or missing a message in chat and thus missing the entire mission

What negatives could this have?:
- Reduces visibility of the airdrop event, requiring people to check their phones or org chat after a notification, but this is the same for every other alert or in-character event.
- Potentially decreases knowledge of the airdrop's existence to bystanders/cops/people who didn't know about it in the first place, reducing competition?

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Those silly messages in the text box, idk if there's any unintended consequences of this

Examples:
Bounty failed! $$$MONEY$$$ got the airdrop to the dealer first.
The airdrop has landed near The Travelers Motel. Get to the crate before anyone else does!

they should put -----kos line----- at the org bounties so i dont accidentally go in and get killed

Though I agree the chat thing could be a bit silly and it instead being put into the app would be much nicer conceptually. I kinda like seeing ppl chat shit about the drop in ooc and stuff like that.
I do think it will greatly decrease the amount of smaller orgs going for the drop and it will just be even less competition for big orgs

I agree with this, not only does this improve realism, but cops would hear about the airdrop much later, resulting in much more interesting response instead of immediately cops vs orgs from moment 1.
