Aircraft Carrier in Freemode

[Guest Member5489316]

This thread has most likely been made however I feel I want to talk about it. Me and my friends exited out of a job involving the aircraft carrier, and spawned on it when we got into freemode. I understand this is a glitch of sorts but what I found strange, and correct me if I am wrong but the carrier has legitimate spawnpoints for helicopter (and probably jets) on its deck.

I assume rockstar didn't include this thing into freemode for a reason, but unless they plan to include it in an upcoming DLC of sorts I can't see what that reason could be. I feel it would be no different from the already existing military base, except not being able to drive to it and needing a boat, helicopter or a plane to access it. Having NPC planes spawn here after stealing from the carrier however would be impractical, so maybe rockstar could allow Military NPC's with homing launchers to spawn in deck to give it that added challenge. Along with this I think that if you are killed while within a certain range of the carrier, you should spawn on the carrier, either in the hangers below, on deck, or even in the control tower since the place is quite far from land.

 

Personally I think this addition would add that little bit more fun to freemode and give players something else to do and somewhere else to source their jets from. A cool idea would be that livestreamers could host car shows on the carrier. Things like this would be awesome to be able to do. What are your opinions?

[marco6158]

Yes I want it.

 

No it won't be added because fun is against Rockstar rules.

Why the carrier and the Series A: Coke "party" boat aren't included, on the PC version, during SP and Online Freeroam I don't know. Considering the PC is supposed to have the most powerful capabilities - there shouldn't be any hardware limitations playing on this.

 

I'd love to see one, and I also believe that up to 4 P996 Lazer's spawn on the one that can be glitched into the game. Rockstar likely won't add it however. If they do, it'll likely be a next gen exclusive.

The polls show it as it is.Damn near everyone wants it,rockstar have it already built and it's a small job to implement it into freeroam.But they won't because they just aren't as clued in as they need to be.It's their biggest flaw.

[JokerSmokerToker]

Theres no real point, landing on it would undoubtedly net you a 4-5 star police response just like going to Zancudo in freemode.

 

I would however like to see it be available for deathmatches in the creator, or just for R* to make a DM on it.

[RogerWho]

The carrier is quite lame honestly. Once I was playing EMP with randoms and they kept crashing the jets, so eventually I've given up and just stayed on the carrier to see if they manage to finish or not. I wanted to explore the carrier, finding out that there's just nothing there.

 

If it'd function as an alternative airport or Pegasus spawn, or you could have a house there, and it would contain something more than just one corridor and the flight deck, it could be interesting, but such as it is, there's nothing about it.

 

There are way more interesting things that could be added to LS...

 

Although a car show on this... Yea why not.

 

BTW did anyone notice the thing is really small? Shouldn't a modern carrier be like 300 meters long? This doesn't seem to be the case.

Would be pointless. Cool for 5 minutes and that is it. Nothing to do in it but kill people/explode jets and helicopters.

[hyperkane]

Put the carrier in the Content Creator.

[Guest Member5489316]

Put the carrier in the Content Creator.

You crazy xD

[Gutslab]

If the carrier was added to freermode, it should have NPCs doing random activities. Like taking off/landing jets and general ship duties, that would make it a lively atmosphere. And it should move around the map. Might be fun to hide on it while having a bounty.

[Dottie]

Id really like to have that and also that nice ass yacht in free roam

[Turkish Turketarian]

Adding this and/or the yacht would be just like apartments. Cool for the first five minutes then you realize there's absolutely nothing to do but walk around.

[TCMike]

Better for it to be cool for 5 minutes, then nothing cool at all.

If you land a jet on it by glitching it in freeroam, or cops go on it, they will instantly vanish if you go below deck, same with the yacht. So its my hope its just being tweaked before added, But who knows

Yeah but lets be honest, it would be similar to the upcoming Bahama Mama's Update or the Casino Update in the distant future, a great feature for people to be involved with in the first 5mins, hours, days, and then after that the novelty would wear off. Granted, I expect something like a Casino to retain it's fun value for longer, but if you could have AI on the Carrier defending it, getting a 4 star wanted level and firing those SAM sites when taking off/ coming in (if you're already wanted), that would be great I think. You could have several P996 Lazers spawning there, giving a second spawn area for them, and also provide a spawn point for Cargobob and Buzzard.

You could also release either the Hydra or Valkyrie at special spawn times, that you are notified about in the top left, putting a coloured Helicopter or Jet marker on the map at a similar frequency to the Simeon Wanted Vehicles or Special Crate Drops. This could entice people to use it more and adds something new.

At other times when they're not spawning, you could have this idea:

Rockstar could also release the cop outfit for purchase and make it so that when you're wearing it, or any military suits or flight suits (etc), gains you access to the ship without getting a wanted level. That coding was in Vice City (cop outfit = no wanted level - singleplayer) so should be easy enough.

 

Better for it to be cool for 5 minutes, then nothing cool at all.

 

Yeah exactly.

I notice there's several media devices onboard the boat which could all be played out-loud, and even though there really isn't much more to do on this boat, apart from more cop shootouts, it's just generally a very nice place to be.

 

I make a habit of joining Series A: Coke missions just so I can go on an explore whilst going through the mission and she's a really lovely vessel.

 

If you land a jet on it by glitching it in freeroam, or cops go on it, they will instantly vanish if you go below deck, same with the yacht. So its my hope its just being tweaked before added, But who knows

 

That depends on how it's being added to the game. There are some mod menus on PC that give you full access from what I've seen - they don't look anything different to the mission version. Even placed in the same place.

Yes because I'm lazy and can't be arsed doing heists. They should make them both appear on alternate weekends from Friday-Sunday. So three days of the yacht, then next weekend the carrier.

[TheGoodSgtScooter]

I'd rather have the Yacht to be honest. I've explored the carrier inside and out, the yacht is much funner.

[CarimboHanky]

do i want in yes

would we get it, probably not...

 

people are likely to enjoy that and heck would try to have fun, which would be a breach of R* Anti-Fun policy

Man you have some real good ideas & to reply to to ringo, that is what I thought when I realised that cargobobs spawned there.

[Smooth Longsack]

I was stationed on a carrier. I want/need it in game.

[richard1997jones]

I could have all my boats, helicopters, planes and cars on the one carrier. I could live on it and just travel around the map. That would be cool. I'd only ever dock or fly over to land when I needed to. The carrier could have a golf course, bar ect.. on board in which case I'd never go back on land again. We need this. We could have homing missles to defend it.

I'm hoping they add it once most people have done the hydra heist. it would devalue the mission if you could always go to the carrier.

same with the yacht

it should circle the map and have all armed vehicles onboard and a cargobob. but would be very well defended.

So they could add it in November around the 11th, which is well after the release of the PC version (April 10th) and thus the majority of people will have played that mission (EMP).

Could tie in with "Remembrance" day (Remembering the HLR Heist) and that's military themed anyway from WW1 and 2. They could also add those APCs that were cut from the game!

In fact, I notice that November 10th 2015 is a Tuesday...

 

Sorry I'm wandering now.

[saintsrow]

Yes I want it.

Rockstar limitations.

 

Just like many other cool things that could / should have been in the game.

Wow glad to see in the polls most all of us are on the same page. It should be great if they did add it buuuut I have my doubts.

[egomaniac247]

My idea:


Have the aircraft carrier circling the map the same way the train does. Have it so that you have to either land on it, or there's a ladder low enough that pulling up beside it in a boat could make for an exciting transfer from boat to ship......

 

Make it similar to the Merryweather dock in that you can land on it and be on it as long as you're peaceful but if you shoot or try to steal a jet, the NPC's on the aircraft carrier will light you up.

 

Have a laser, a hydra, and the cargo bob on the deck.

 

I'd love to see some dog fighting over the ship and chaos in free roam fights.

[NomadRider]

No need for the carrier. Too many lazertards as it is. no need to give them another place to get them

[cjohnsonjk5274]

Yeah I hope they add it in Freemode too. Sadly they probably won't, though.
