Chopper Care box Drop

[____ (DayZ) 3]

I would like to see a new feature for the standalone. If the standalone has choppers. I would like to see a new item. I will call it a care box.

some body may think of a better name im sure.

Basic idea.

you have a box that you can load things into. I may have something like 10 slots and 1 weapon slop. .May be 10 slots is to many, this idea will need a tweak or two.

The idea is that you can drop the care box from your chopper to a friend on the ground. As with parachuting you need to have enough height for the shoot to deploy. when the shoot deploys because of the altitude it will be effected by wind so your ground team will have to track it.

you can deploy the care box at a lower altitude but the shoot wont deploy. if your low enough the box will make it safely even with out the shoot. if your just that little to high but not high enough for the shoot to deploy the box will destroy on impact or some of the items inside will be damaged.

A few reasons for this.

1st. Your Friends are in an area with loads of trees so you carnt land.

2nd Your friends need equipment but your unsure if you should land because there could be hostiles around - players or just dont wont to attract z's to the area.

3rd. you want to help out a random but dont wont to run the risk of landing and them taking your chopper.

Now im not sure how the packing of the care box will work. My thoughts are the box has to be packed on the ground b4 you take off. main reason for this is that the crew may not have access to the on board storage while inside the chopper. If it was to be done in the air it def should not be done by the pilot.

Next issue. do you get the first care boxes when you find the chopper or do you have to find a care box first.

Can the care boxes be used over and over? perhaps as long as they are not damaged when they are deployed .

Unsure if the standalone is going to have a weight factor on its items .IF so. rather than slot size limitation maybe a weight size limit as well as the shoot is only so big.

The care box is going to need to take up room on the chopper maybe it has its own slot. you could have 1, 2, or even 3 care box slots depending on the size of the chopper.

Care boxes are not a common item. So you have to choose we when you are going to use them.

thoughts please and also some tweaks if you got ideas.

Great idea (even though it reminds me of another game, with the name of a fish, but whatever). I would like to see this happening too!

A bit CoDish but a good idea I think, it would be a good way of being a hero without the risk of getting shot. :)

I really like. I thought this was going to be a killstreak suggestion, thank God it isn't.

just so we are clear on this. its just a create that you put stuff in then sombody kicks it out the side of the chopper perhaps not somthing that drops in by its self you have to manually fly over with a chopper over to that point and have sombody drop it.

Like the Idea too :)

this would give the Choppers a more important role.

It would be neat to find random cargo dumps too, at any rate.

Imagine finding a crate that had zombies locked in it for some military experiment when you're expecting ammo xD
