Private hives and illegal vehicles - general inquiry

[FatherTime (DayZ) 0]

Good afternoon to all,

I have several generic question about "illegal" vehicle spawns on a private hive DayZ server. Is the illegal aspect the act of spawning a vehicle on demmand for personal use, or is it even illegal to add a spawn point for an "illegal" vehicle to naturally spawn? Also, are they "illegal" in the sense that its advised not to use them to maintain gameplay stability, or is it more of a severe warning like "you spawn this vehicle and we find out and your GUID is banned"?

So in short?

1) can I add a new spawn point for the AH6X_EP1 (the mini gunless helichopter), this heli will spawn naturally and be obtained by who ever finds it first.

2) What are the ramifications of spawning an "illegal" vehicle

I want to stay within the guidelines as priority one, but if I can find a legal method of introducing additional non-combative vehicles to my server I would love to.

Please accept my gratitude in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this topic, have a wonderful day!

It's a private server so you can do whatever you want, the community will brand you a shit server if admins are spawning vehicles for themselves though.

1) Yes.

2) Nothing

What he said.

I'll add to that by saying that the defensible solution would be to make sure that your motivations for adding vehicles are sound. If you're adding vehicles so you, as the admin, can play with them and nothing else... well, I'd stay away from that.

If you're motivation is to add balanced spawn points and you intend to not utilize them so your server population can enjoy the expanded experience... you're in good shape.

On our server, we have a 'we'll try anything' approach to vehicles. We'll test them in editor or in a remote area of the map(and only on each other) to see if the inclusion is warranted, then we'll do a short test run of adding a few spawns as an expanded test. If the vehicle passes these tests, we add more spawns, always making sure that the more powerful vehicles are in spawn locations that make repairing said vehicle a total bitch. Then we do not touch these vehicles. We're admins, not players - the server is there for others gameplay.
