lockable packs

[haviv[3rdid] 57]

In the ACE mod, we have the ability to lock our pack so that only members of a team can access it.

My suggestion would be to only give the people that you choose the ability to access items in your pack (permission must be granted for each item in your pack). Someone who kills you just for your stuff will not get anything and he just wastes a bullet. However, if he finds a lock pick he will be able to loot dead players. In this way, kill-to-loot will still exist but most players will have more incentive to work together in order to get stuff.

i would like to keep bodies lootable, but i think it would be interesting to have a "stash" or safe that can be broken in to with the right tools.

They should keep them unlocked but make a distinct zipping noise

Another possibility would make the lockable pack not the default, but a special one you have to find.

Pack is locked? Use a knife, cut the pack open. Fix'd.

First, you need to get a knife.

This takes away the reason why bandits are bandits if you have lockable packs.

Big NO from me and I am not a bandit btw.

Then it's not very realistic because everyone has lockable packs in the real world (which is why it is part of ACE). On the other hand, knives and picks should also very common (again, just let the real world be the guide) and bandits will have all their fun again. But at least some effort must be made to get a tool besides just killing someone in the first 5 minutes.
