Pirates!!

[fazza7 6]

DayZ is mostly based on land which fun but it would be cool to add a new dimension to the game. By introduction of Vehicles such as ferries and barge that can transport large numbers of players with the addition of other Vehicles, your island bases will be that much better with other land vehicles at your disposal.

Adding a large ship a 1 per server spawn would hopefully give the same rections as the UH-1H for control over a rare item in the game. The ship could be used as a fortified moving base, it would obviously need a lot of repairs and take time to get it to working condition. This would bring out dangerous mission for attacks on the barge and control over the sea. The ship would have to dock and be filled with fuel the sight of a large ship on the horizon would obviously bring a lot of attention and attract snipers an players into one of those epic player interactions situations we love in dayZ.

Under one condition:

A loudspeaker on each side of the boat as well as bow and stern blaring this with the crew dancing along:

Why do people feel the need to completely derail a thread for pointless immature banter, especially when a moderator takes part in it, honestly are we stooping to lows of the War Z community where their devs openly call people "faggots"?

Anyway, I think this idea is amazing. Real life pirates are a serious issue and threat to wildlife and any unmonitored ship, and I can see that getting worse in a zombie apocalypse as there are lot's of people who own boats. There is only one useful boat in the mod which is the PBX however there are no rivers or oceans that go inland that would allow you to take advantage of having a boat, so this idea might be useless.

Imagine the insanity and bloodshed....

When the server bugs out, and the ferry/barge/whatever accidentally spawns at Topolka Dam!!!!

:facepalm: :facepalm:

maybe not pirates but...

id like some large ferries kinda things, ran on gas or fuel. either would be fine, or a large motored ship of some kind.

Dont mind Derpy he always trolls, dont think hes really a forum mod. only has that blue name thingy.

epic player interactions

The only interaction you can think of is of course interaction by exchanging bullets...pathetic.

Thanks guys

First off the stand alone game is going to have an new map, and weather or not there are any rivers or lakes heading inland is irrelevant in my opinion. The idea of a large ship/base in the middle of the ocean is exciting!! In a zombie apocalypse the water would be the first place I would want to be.

Second I uploaded this idea with a different topic heading but it was boring. So i changed it to Pirates!! because who is going to not look at a topic named pirates? But just take into consideration the word "pirate" means: A person who attacks and robs ships at sea.

Thanks again for all the feedback.

Cleaned up the thread, please keep the discussion on topic and avoid pointless banter.

I'd like there to be more variation in boats as well as the ability to shoot from the back of them. Seriously as if you can't shoot from the back of that slow-ass fishing boat.
