Rubber Tube your Tent

[caddrel 3]

A few suggestions in two or three sentences each, with problem before suggestion.

Currently: Vehicles require a large initial commitment to find and repair, but after that stage are trivial to steal from offline players. A friend suggested that players be allowed to remove parts from vehicles before they log out, providing a small measure of security.

Wrench: allows a player to remove parts from cars (part must be >95% condition)

Rubber tube: allows a player to remove fuel from a vehicle to a jerry can (must have at least 20L)

Currently: Hiding vehicles and tents outside the map boundaries is 100% safe, but is tedious and immersion breaking. It can also allow a small group of players to monopolise all the vehicles on a server.

Suggestion: Vehicles and tents should despawn if left or placed outside the map boundaries.

Players should be given a countdown warning for moving outside the playable area (can add exclusion zones to this for the debug areas)

Currently: Finding random tents in the wilderness is Fun, even abandoned ones.

Suggestion: Tents should not despawn two/three days after a player dies. Instead, after that period give ANYONE the ability to pack the tent.

Maybe let the original owner reclaim ownership of the tent if they return within the time limit.

New item: Add camouflage netting (self explanatory).

New item: Add smaller stashes using the "Guerilla Cache" model built into Arma 2. Can only carry five items. Rare spawn.

TLDR: Was that really too long?

I like all of your ideas (especially the prospect of hunting down a mechanic just for the goddamn engine block parts he took so I couldn't steal his car) except this one. You die' date=' you should never be able to go back to your stuff without paying some kind of price*.

*This is elaborated upon further in the link in my sig.

That was simply an idea to counter the potentially onerous task of transferring gear from one tent to another whenever you die. Or, when a member of a group, someone else having to do it.

I agree with you on the tents.

Seriously, disappearing 2 days after owner's death is kind of ...meh.. It's just annoying moment where "Ok mate, it's time to do some transfer between the tents, because these are the last hours before it will despawn".

Give a chance to retrieve a control on a tent for owner for 2 hours after their death, if he won't make it, make it avaible for everyone to be claimed .

I love all of these suggestions.
