The stranded ship...

[_Anubis_ (DayZ) 139]

I propose to add a stranded ship on the coast of Chernarus. This is not about just adding something, but introduce more depth and alternative/teamwork gameplay in dayz:

1. The ship should be rather big (several floors) and offer some basic shelter

2. The ship should have loot (e.g. 12 points, like a barn but also some medical and NO weapons)

3. The ship should be the center of the spawn area: meaning new spawns should always start within viewing distance of the ship

4. The ship would maybe explain why we are in Chernarus: we were passengers of that ship?

Why?

Because then everybody will have an initial reference point, a place where to meet and team up and maybe start a dayz journey with other players. Heroes and other friendly players could be there to help and guide and living team-mates could meet there their dead (now respawned) comrades.

The only negative aspect is that such a spot would be a magnet for lowlifes who enjoy killing unarmed new spawns.

this would be a killers heaven.

Also it has been suggested many times before:

how about the ship spawn is for friendly players. and theres a spawn somewhere up north that has a bunch of parachutes hanging in trees where the bandits spawn. And in the beginning of the game you can decide wether youre a bandit or a survivor.

There is a ship wreck along the coast of chernarus...don't believe me go look for yourself.

I support this idea, would be interesting to have an stranded merchant ship lying on the shores of chernarus.

I would preferably have either a "Bulk Carrier" or a "Oil tanker" mechant vessel as model for the ship

There already is a ship wreck along the coast of Chernarus! I don't think it's enterable though

there are 2 ship wreaks. one north of Berezino(a small cargo shis) and one off skalisty island(a much bigger ship).... neither has loot or is enterable, except for the deck.

I think its a larger sized fishing vessel and no it can't be entered or boarded, I presume your thinking of that wreck on the coast a few minutes run over from willow lake just north of Berezino.

And besides having a "single" ship, I'd love something akin to Ship graveyards, a mis-match of various vessels so far out of the way as some sort of vain attempt by the islands populace to flee the infection but were stopped by the Military and/or sunk for trying to break qaurantine. But I think if this was implemented, only a few should be able to be boarded. Maybe even a half-sunken aircraft carrier or destroyer, one that can be entered but the other half is half submerged under water.

I would support this idea if it was off the coast a really far ways so you would need either boat or heli to access it.
