Ideas for Radios

[CrimsonBlade 2]

I hear that communications like cellphones/radios will be implemented in patch 1.8, I have decided to make a suggestion on how the radios could work. Enjoy....

Radios would be lootable items.. the most common of these would be the 20-Watt AM Radio. It can send and recieve signals from about 50km away (not sure how hard it is to code this..) it must be deployed on the ground however, it can be turned on and off once it is setup using the mouse scroll. This is your typical household radio and can be found in residential/civilian areas along with finding them commonly in supermarkets. You would also need batteries (That gives me another suggestion... adding batteries for NVG"s and flashlights in order to keep them working) The AM radio would also have reduced transmitting range at night by 10KM (ITS SCIENCE) (Takes up 1-2 inventory slots)

The second most common would be the FM Radio. I"m not really familiar with how these work.. but let's say they transmit 125km and have to be deployed they would not recieve a negative transmitting penalty at night. This would take up 3-4 inventory slots. They need to be deployed just like the AM radio and burn up your batteries faster.

The rarest radios can only be found at military loot spawns or on dead zombies soldiers bodies. These would be portable radios that take up the tool slot. You do not have to deploy them and they require batteries. These can pickup radio signals from 100KM away they can be turned off using the mouse scroll.

Well those are my ideas for radios...
