The Ghost Ship

[Xianyu 820]

This is a suggestion for a dynamically placed aircraft carrier (ghost ship) off the coast of Chernarus. There are no living persons remaining on board, but plenty of infected. Some unique navy-specific weaponry could be found on board to encourage looting it.

Add a cluttered deck to make sure that helicopters can't really land on it, and you'd have an interesting dynamic setpiece. One day, it could spawn within swimming distance of Cherno. Another day/server restart, and it could be miles off the coast.

Claustrophobic interior, large numbers of zombies, and etc would make the entire ship a rather unique feature that mixes up the gameplay of Chernarus, which is either forested or urban combat. No tight spaces. No constant chance of being cut off by the infected unless you're stupid enough to run into a building with no exit.

That being said, an aircraft carrier doesn't have a whole lot of exits... unless you leap off into the ocean miles from land.

Bring an extra mag. And probably a friend.

"Navy specific weaponry".

What?

[boxman80 964]

Fantastic idea, really like this!

"Navy specific weaponry".

What?

MEU versions of weapon, such as the M14 MEU they're like a carbine versions that looks sweet. Could also have this a place to spawn more unique PDW like guns such P90's , UMP's etc maybe have a few compact MP5's as well as other military grade weaponry. Could even have some new clothing spawn out there such as black Navy seal or Marine uniforms. If you wanted to go for surviving with the camp look you could maybe get one fo those white sailor suits from there too! lol I bagsy the captains hat though!

Sounds good to me.

Okeh. I was just wondering why they'd have guns on a bigass boat that has great big guns already.

This is a great idea, I like the variable distances from the coast. How would you get access to this ship? And I think helicopters should be able to land on it, but with the position of the ship changing in between restarts, you would risk losing the heli altogether.

Aircraft Carriers have giant arsenals, as they have personnel on them and if they were boarded they would need PDWs, rifles, etc.

[UmBe 125]

Give The ship a .5 - 1% spawn on Server restart, so it will remain something special/ to prevent stuff like: I Need a weapon lets go to the Aircraft carrier because it is allways there.

PS.: this should also ne The Case with helicrashes, they should Not spawn everytime

Not to mention the attachment of marine infantry and/or special forces that they have on board!

Should also be the only place to get flash bangs and stun grenades. It could even have some medical supplies on board and a few vehicles spawn on the carrier, maybe a few PBX's, rescue chopper, jet ski (!)....

It would certainly add a nice team objective to the game, similar to the chopper spawns. But as already stated, it's spawn should be quite random throughout the server cycle and should be quite a distance off land, making it accessible by boat or air lift only. Also yes it should be teeming with dead sailors making it a suicide mission going in alone!

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the police also use flashbangs ?? And if they don't .. maybe in Chernarus ;-)

Yes, it should be a spawn for everything, but it should be very hard to loot the stuff.

i approve :D

this is like the third or fourth post with this same Idea that Ive seen. And ive agreed with every one of them. Beans 4 u

The other ones all suggest placing it in a static area, either just off the shore, or run aground. That's boring. Dynamically placed on the ocean means you SEARCH for it, and PLAN an assault on the boat.

[Testwd3r235 2810]

I like the idea, beans and approval :).

[Average Pegasus 646]

That sound great with dynamic..

But to be fair with people who don't have a heli.

theire should be more boat spawn

Just to be fair

[OrLoK 16186]

I like the sound of this naval base full of discharged zombie seamen.

Hey there

That's not really appropriate

This ( marked ) is where i stopped reading...another excuse to get more weapons thread...and i bet the ship is an american one, too.

[jona (DayZ) 61]

Why not a driveable aircraft carrier. With a huge ship maybe that could deliver weapons, vehciles, animals, food, supplies and other loot. And clans can battle for controll on this 1 big ship and the use of the ship could bring a economy to the server if they added trains aswell like another guy suggested and my clever animals thread wich goes on about how animals can be more then what they are on games currently. It could be something special if all these ideas was expanded and more popular.

Amazing idea my vote

Actually, I was thinking a Russian aircraft carrier.

And what? It's meant to just spawn AK's, AKSU's and AKM's? Sure, let's go spend three hours searching for, and then looting the AIRCRAFT CARRIER! It has the same fucking loot as everywhere else on the map! IT'LL BE GREAT.

Even with unique weapons, it'll be tight-quarters weapons. SMG's, shotguns and the like. You don't take a sniper rifle for ship-to-ship action.

Ever wondered by the barracks are so searched? UNIQUE LOOT.

Ever wonder why helicopter crashes are an awesome find? UNIQUE LOOT.

Noticing a common theme here?

I think this a brilliant idea, mainly because it would add a lot to the atmosphere of the game and because it would probably (i am speculating :P) be fairly easily for the devs to add it ingame!
