eclipse0414 25 Posted February 16, 2013 Boats right now are cool but verry impractical. Even the speedy PBX is impractical. I believe in the SA, we should be able to get larger boats and be able to walk around and shoot off boats (no moving around on PBX of course). This would add an entirely new aspect to the game and introduce a new form a banditry, piracy. Image seeing a house boat off the coast of Cherno right after a refuel. The boat spots you and tries its best to get away but you have a PBX so it's no match. The crew of the opposing boat line up to fire at you but you're faster and drop them while shooting off your boat. You hop off you boat into the water and board the boat, kill the driver, find the coward hiding in the cargo room, and finally loot the cargo and maybe have a new boat on your hands! Let me know what you think. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wooly-back-jack 294 Posted February 16, 2013 what exactly is the point of fishing boats, only the PBX is worth using :/just a wasted vehicle spawn atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted February 16, 2013 Yup, it'd be nice for a group to be able to fix up a large vessel (requiring a lot of work of course. They could even make it their home base if done properly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eclipse0414 25 Posted February 16, 2013 what exactly is the point of fishing boats, only the PBX is worth using :/just a wasted vehicle spawn atmIn standalone, Utes is coming as an explorable island and it has an airfield. But a little more on topic with the post, fishing boats are bigger boats and with this could come possible storage in the future as well as being able to walk around freely which would make you more versatile and able to raid coastal wanderers, other boats, venture to Skalitsky or Utes. Maybe the addition of a speedboat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooly-back-jack 294 Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) no what I mean is they are utter poo, it seems faster to swim than use a fishing boat (last time I bothered with them anyway, has speed increased?) Edited February 16, 2013 by wooly-back-jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eclipse0414 25 Posted February 16, 2013 no what I mean is they are utter poo, it seems faster to swim than use a fishing boat (last time I bothered with them anyway, has speed increased?)Fishing boats go about 15 kmh(?) and offer protection as they can go further offshore and won't get you sick. Swimming is deathly slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxgor 2314 Posted February 16, 2013 That one fishing boat you come across might be the worst vehicle in the game lol I'd rather ride an unprotected bike than slowly putter along offshore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted February 16, 2013 I rode in a fishing boat for 15 seconds by the landbrige in namalsk until a rail gun pierced the air and everything went white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horny goldfish (DayZ) 10 Posted February 16, 2013 It would be cool to find abandoned cruise liners full of loot in the middle of the ocean and be able to drive it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutinen 635 Posted February 16, 2013 Utes pirates attacking the south-coast, awesome :DYeah and it does need the option to shoot while you're a passenger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
