Vehicle suggestion - Vehicle Ferry

[axemen210 3]

Hi,

First of all: My english might not be that good, but I'll do my best ;)

 

I Just played some Just-Cause 2 recently.

there's a vehicle in the game, that would fit perfectly in DayZ IMO:

The Vehicle Ferry. (please ignore the tank on it ;) )

 

-It should be very rare (1-2 per server.)

-It should have the possibility to spawn on the open sea

-It should be very difficult to repair

-It should not be bigger than the one on the picture

-stuff to repair it with should only spawn at coasts

-You should be able to stand/walk on it while it is moving/ your friend is driving

-You should be able to lower your ramp

 

Here are some Pro's and Con's

 

Contra:

 

-Very rare

-Spare parts are hard to come by

-Even though it's safe for the most part, people could still steal your stuff from it

-It would need very much fuel

-You could get lost pretty easily

 

Pro:

 

-It's a safe heaven

-You could park your car on it

-Could be upgraded to a "swimming fortress"

-It would be a mobile home

 

Just a few scenarios you could get in to:

 

Worst case scenario:

You (and your group ?!?) are on the open sea, 5+ kilometers away from the coast

suddenly you notice, that the fueltank is leaking, or (is completly empty already) what would you do ? (call for help via the build in radio system,

go for it and try to swim to the coast to come back later ?

 

You see another ferry in the distance and you see guys on it,

they are calling: "We are friendly", "we need help"

you are approaching them, you now stand right next to their ferry as you see a dying man on their ship deck -"we don't have bandages, please help"

you both lower your ramps. your group is running on the other ferry. You could barely save the guy, but you did it. now both parties are sitting on their ferry and eating  :beans:  ^^

 

I hope you like my suggestion and my english wasn't too bad ^^

I thought of that too, but I think if the Origins-MOD could do it with a flying fortress (you are/were able to walk on it too while it's moving)

the dev-team should be able to fix it by the time boats are actually in the game ^^

This seems really cool! Don't worry about your english, it's much better than any of my foreign languages.

awesome idea, however I can very much see it being abused. Snipers barge, anyone?

Would be interesting if they are still going to add in Utes, though that might lead to clans hording vehicles on islands.  Not sure if the engine could currently handle this either, since right now people can't 'roam' around vehicles, but again they are making changes to the engine so it might be possible.

No safe havens that's really dumb

Like the vehicle though

In real life people would try to get their hands on boats faster then you can say "Baked Beans"

besides that, players would get cold and would have to eat though...

By safe haven i thought you meant an 'invincible zone'. If they do add utes this would be really handy

Oh, ^^ No, by "save heaven" I meant you are away from Zombies and other Players (unless they have a boat  :P )

[w1lg5r 70]

I could see myself loading supplies on and ferrying them all across the map.

[Helix2000 128]

like the idea, but that could lead to players stashing cars on scallisty or debug island, but i do like the idea of walking around on it. aybe pitch a tent, go fishing and live as a pirate...

I think the OP ment its a mobile base not a no fighting zone, it would make for a realy secure base though ,even more so if your able to add mg's and sandbags to it

Yeah i really hope we get to make bases out of vehices. Buses and campervans would be good too
