Shipping containers as bases.

[Haplo (DayZ) 44]

There are heaps of shipping containers in Chernarus, zombies even spawn inside them. Being able to use them as bases would be cool in a number of ways.

This adds more teamwork in getting a truck/crane to move the container. Locks could be added to the loot pile, which can be used to secure the container. The keys log off with your character, but locks can be bypassed with a toolkit.

I know Rocket wants to implement base building, though it became too messy above ground, but, there are a limited number of these containers in Chernarus and I certainly don't think it would break the game.

Nice thought actually

Adding a crane truck/lorry could be interesting, but locks would have to be breakable e.g. from gun fire or a hatchet/crowbar

Yeah good point. That should come with the cost of noise though, toolkits would be quieter.

so if I drop them off in the ocean would i be able to create my very own floating island?

You would need some gap filler or something first Twix but I love the idea..

After a while though it would end up like this...

Fill them with the bodies of the undead and bandits!

As I stated in my first post Bobcomss, there are already a limited number of shipping containers in Chernarus, it would not end up like that

and then link them up to create your very own underwater base. screw underground bases.
