First off you can’t compare anything to 3.0, unless your taking about a feature that should or shouldn’t pass on.
I do agree with your idea about big vehicle (semi trucks etc) because it has a purpose and it is pretty cool to mow down a hoard of zombies in my truck, shooting a sawed off shotgun into the crowd.
How is this survival related? You are just painting a massive target on your back and waisting resources just so you can flex on random people on your server if its not for pvp. Its not that the suggestion is downright bad, this just seems so unnecessary
I think that it’s survival related as it brings a downside and an upside to using it. Sure, you are a massive target and the entire server might try and focus you, but that’s because they want that ship just as badly. Cargo ships can store lots of materials and you can heavily fortify the ship if you are in a clan. The ship also limits people to aerial and naval attacks as most of your time, you will be on the water in a self-sustaining ship (Farm, Water purifier). But the boat is not impervious, form a clan, find a heli and parachute onto the ship. Raid it from the top down, blasting doors and killing crew. Soon, you conquer the ship for your own and reinforce it better then the previous crew. Not to mention, the upkeep of the ship; things will break and gas will be an issue, but it refers back to my main point, huge upsides, with huge downsides.
tl;dr It’s just a large clan base but on water
Problem is there are so many things we dont know about the game yet to be making suggestions like this. In 3.0 you cant stand on vehicles while they are being used, will it be similar in 4? Who says you can even build on vehicles in 4? Who says there can be doors in a vehicle? Who says you can destroy them? There are so many assumptions made in posts and suggestions on this forum and this really annoying. Small non gameplay changing suggestions cant be made until the game is in a early beta
You will be able to stand on vehicles in 4.x, as it uses the Unreal engine with superior physics, and has also been confirmed.
You says you can even build on vehicles in 4?
While this has not been confirmed by Nelson, not being able to even place a crate in a pickup truck would be severely damaging to the survival experience, thus meaning it will most likely be in the game.
Who says there can be doors in a vehicle?
Because vehicles have doors, and houses will also have doors, unlike in 3.x.
Who says you can destroy them?
Well I mean, to raid a base, you need to destroy it’s weakest point. Coincidentally, that’s a door.
While I do not think this idea will even come close to being put into the game, I like it nonetheless. I also think it represent’s Unturned’s silliness of owning such a large vehicle, yet it also can be balanced.
The trello and your picture talk about physics as handling not standing on it, unless that’s what analog output is, im not a developer
I mean building clan bases which is what your example was
I mean actual physical doors that change thr hitbox of a vehicle and let you freely walk through them, not just an animation of opening to enter a car and then boom you are in a car like in most games.
If you can destroy a single door in a ship that means modular damage for vehicles which would be dope but that could get taxing with a massive cargo ship with rooms and doors and things
Modular damage is confirmed I believe
Modular damage, and doors which open and close were on the 4.X wishlist Trello, but that’s just an old wishlist, not a list of confirmed features.
That’s what the Analog support is, just simply meaning physics makes a lot more sense.

That could be another reason having the ship as a base could be good, raiders have to worry about not damaging it too much, hopefully meaning, items such as the precision charge will actually have a use.
i think a thing…
okay you have a cargo ship…
okay you have the entire server wanting to kill you… WHYYY???
Because a cargo ship have parts extremaly rare and utily!
I fell smell of hierarchy.
I hope you do realize I made this topic with the knowledge that vehicle physics would be far better in 4.0.
I understand it’s not truly the most necessary addition; but I’m pretty sure you could apply this same logic to various things we received in 3.0, like Jets, or tanks, or almost anything, if you find the right argument for it. And I’m just as sure we’ll get additions in 4.0 that people might go “Why do we need that?” End of the day, unique, interesting, and fun ideas that get put into the game makes it just that extra special.
okay you have the entire server wanting to kill you… WHYYY???
The entire server would be after you, as everyone else realizes how good the ship is.
Because a cargo ship have parts extremaly rare and utily!
This is true, you would need a high engineer skill to upkeep the ship, but that is just one cost to having the ship.
I fell smell of hierarchy.
Every server has a hierarchy, you can’t really get rid of it.
Cargo ships should also be a common objectives for players that would be only possible with cooperation between players
Plz don’t forget about my semi truck…
This is misinformed. You can, the only thing preventing it is auth physics, which was a feature manually implemented by Nelson himself to stop flyhackers back in the Canada days. Now, it’s possible to actually disable auth physics, therefore this is possible to some extent as well.
It’s also worth mentioning that physics were pretty limited in 3.0, while in 4.0 the entire framework is being redone.
Just because something is uncertain doesn’t mean people can’t discuss it. This is a forum, that’s what it’s designed for. A significant portion of the things coming into 4.0 have been suggested by the community, and certain things would not have been considered without the inspiration of these posts.
I personally find this suggestion to be perfectly fine, since it allows leeway for when things don’t go exactly as expected. In addition, using something like a semi-truck is perfectly viable and even makes sense given logic, because a survivor might be seeking something with a large amount of carrying capacity. Same goes to a cargo ship, which can totally be operated by a single person (although it would be quite difficult to do so alone).
I don’t personally see how such large and powerful vehicles would fit into such a small world.
The world shall be larger, friend.
Hopefully, and with more players in the map.
I just want a semi truck with a cab
