Reinforceable Vehicles

[dackspuds 15]

This is just something that I was thinking about as something that I think would make sense and add to DayZ. What if we could use (after our vehicle had been fully repaired) extra parts, like scrap metal, to beef up our cars? For example, if I had a fully repaired sedan, and I had 2 scrap metal on me, I could have the option to "Reinforce Bumper" or "Reinforce Frame" which would make the sedan more sturdy and able to take collisions better than normal. Or I could "Reinforce Wheel" with an extra wheel to make my sedan's wheels be tougher and resist bullets a little more. Maybe even an "Improve Engine" command that would take one engine parts and add 10 kmph to your top speed

I think that this would satisfy some of the people complaining about how fragile cars are, and it would also make vehicles somewhat customizable, and more add more value for a "Souped Up" car. Plus it doesn't need a new item to make it work.

Of course this wouldn't necessarily apply to aircraft, seeing as they are already quite powerful.

I'm pretty sure that this is all but confirmed for the standalone at some time (Not on release though, I believe)

Glad to hear it! I really think that this should be added anyway.

Maybe like scrap to each window for a plated window, y'know?

Of course all of the buffs would have a max, say you can only increase the speed by 20 mph, so you can't get OP cars (300 mph car chicken game anyone?)
