Replace "inventory slots" with cubic centimeters and weight

[Jesus Hitler 1]

I think the amount of space some items takes up is ridiculous as the system is now. For instance, the patrol pack can obviously hold more than 8 cans of coke in real life.

My solution is this: Instead of having "inventory slots" like there are now, replace them with the amount of cubic centimeters an object takes up. STANAG mags for example take up about 270cc, so a backpack that holds 27,000cc (1 cubic ft) could hold 100 of them. However, STANAG mags also weigh .5kg each so a backpack full of them would weigh 50kg, which is quite heavy obviously. A weight limit may be necessary for this system to work, which may be seen as either a pro or a con depending on the person.

Anyone else like this idea?

Already had that idea...a few thousand times, still like that idea

Or just make is so more weight = slower movement speed

this is not going to change in the mod, however they already said that in the standalone the inventory will be changed, this is a cool idea, I would like to see it implemented

I like the idea, but I think it would be difficult to implement.

Yeah its stupid how you can carry two main rotory parts in a alice pack

^^change it to helicopter solenoids or hydraulic pumps.Why they chose helicopter rotor is beyond me.

Like your idea but I think numbers need to be buffed up because items have dead space when stored in containers because they don't fit perfectly inside them. Other than that I agree that volume and weight/encumbrance need to be added to the inventory system. I and I'm sure others have posted similar ideas.

The measurements of the STANAG mag I posted were buffed slightly and taken from an airsoft one I had lying around. I added some width to make up for the curve and some length because the top and bottom aren't parallel.
