Ship collisions

[lethal topaz]

This event gave me the idea: I was approaching an airport and saw a ship with helipad below me: i flew to him with my helicopter, but unfortunately, i couldn't land. So i would ask if you devs could add collisions(at least for the helipad) and a fuel tank(so the heli can refuel). This would bring way more player interaction to the game. Thanks for reading my already 3rd submission

@pulsar quartz this could be interesting for you

[pulsar quartz]

unfortunately this has been suggested tons of times before

and rejected

because collisions with moving vehicles are really janky

[lethal topaz]

i didn't saw any other suggestion like this

oh sorry mods

[outer dragon]

massive clueless moment

[flint hollow]

the helicopter would just push the boat under

[outer dragon]

[outer dragon]

from personal experience, correct, the helicopter just instantly sinks the boat

[flint hollow]

yes

[outer dragon]

maybe trying to land the biggest helicopter in the game on a tiny tanker wasn't the best idea?

but i doubt doing it the other way around would work

to be fair

boats have very shitty physics

one time a mod enabled collisions on her boat, i rammed it with a KM, picked it up like i put on a backpack and flew it all the way to shore

[pulsar quartz]

at some point Omega wanted to run an event of ship football

where two teams in aircraft would have to drag a ship with collisions on

under one of two bridges

ship collisions are so janky we play football with em

[outer dragon]

that could honestly be really fun

i remember the fucking corsair event

[pulsar quartz]

i remember one time, wasn't really an event

[outer dragon]

some random guy rammed the japanese carried and LITERALLY DRAGGED IT AWAY

romanian ass pilot

[pulsar quartz]

but frush had spawned a yamato, turned on collisions, and we dragged him from oskufloi to camp cygnus

we halved the travel time

and then he gave us frushbucks

[outer dragon]

[outer dragon]

what happened to frushbucks?

[outer dragon]

i think i cut down the boat guy's job time by like 6 hours

who'd have guessed 280 knots is better than 20

[sly sand]

Huh

[nocturne star]

it's sure fun pushing a Nimitz with a albatross, but surely not in other cases

just sayin

[outer dragon]

helping people to shore with a KM is very fun

..getting your 17 hour boat job ended because some dumbass tried to land a V-12 on your Djahizi on the other hand

the carrierball event

[outer dragon]

imagine freedom ship bowling

1 freedom ship as the ball, 10 supercarriers as the pins, you throw it using the mbr

[green scarab]

(for those who dont know, someone spawned in an aircraft carrier in the middle of fiskar archipelago, and we had to move it to the shore with fighter jets)

aka japan ‘45 but you have to move that carrier instead of sinking it

[tardy ledge]

I remember I bullied him with an Ekranoplan

[dusk mountain]

Aero physics be like

Floating point be like

[dire vigil]

What if there's a button to put the helicopter on the ship?

so it locks on to the ship without sinking it or moving it in this case

[outer dragon]

funnily enough

that's already been suggested as a part of a "ship resupply missions" thread a while ago

it was denied

[dire vigil]

lol

well this suggestion ain't goin anywhere then

[lean kettle]

That was me lol

[fathom jackal]

i remember pushing a OHP frigate into kitesboro once

[river raven]

Bro, I was talking about this earlier today in an ingame server XD

[cloud shell]

back sometime before boats, i remember a dev spawned a boat, and he turned on collisions
i decided to run into him, and it pushed him like 50 miles off course

twas fun

[scenic sonnet]

Welp.

Not a good idea IMO because there would be a lot of trolls fucking up a lot of boat players' ship chains.

[fathom jackal]

yeah i would move the ships a few nautical miles to make them go insane

[ocean violet]

boat chains were removed anyways

but it would still be used for trolling definitely

[pulsar quartz]

what if

helicopters hovering near a ship get to snap onto that ship

[cloud shell]

in that case, just do it neo warfare style, and have a hardpoint to click on like it were a carrier

[dire vigil]

that's what I kinda pointed out but apperently it was denied anyway

Calvin (P-105) is AFK: me when I sleep : - 3 hours ago

[south mist]

i remember mods activated collision to all our boats and we forced a boat onto shore

[pseudo hinge]

So that we can do South China Sea role play
