Do you want Rockstar to add Aircraft Carrier to Freemode ?

[Forza Harrd]

It can spawn Lazers. Of course I want it.

There is no option for bacon. Poll is biased.

[Furry_Monkey]

I'd be up for an aircraft carrier. Where else would I park my Tie Fighter and X-Wing? A Death Star. Yeah, that's right. Stop thinking small. Let's get a Death Star!!!

 

No but seriously, do you picture everyone sharing an aircraft carrier, or everyone having their own? I don't think you've considered the logistical nightmare that is what you're suggesting. A big fat "no" from me.

[IceDree]

 

I don't think it will ever be purchasable as it's a military vessel, a civilian IRL could never own one no matter how rich, not even Bill Gates himself.

 

But perhaps as part of a mission or something... Maybe the set-piece could be used.

Are you sure about that? I'm sure there are shipyards in S. Korea or France that would be happy to build one for the right price. Non-nuclear and in the typical size of carriers (not "supercarriers" like US, Russia, France, or China).

Many countries might deny port entry, but that's a relatively small problem. The 10- or 11-figure price tag and tens of millions per year to operate and staff it would be the biggest problem.

You can always convert an old freighter\tanker, but as you mentioned, cost will always remain an issue.

[Mrs. Buzz]

I`dd like to see it spawn once a CEO / MC / Gunrunning Org. (whatever it'll be) registers, tbh. So it became part of the gameplay (bundeled to a mission/job maybe) and won't lag the whole lobby down if you just own and never use it but it spawns once you enter.

 

F.e. register as "gunrunner" the carrier arrives from outer-sea. Do your mission/job (like Yacht prevention) - once finished that, it'll turn arround and disappears. Give that mission a 30min timer to grab/steal deliver as much of Lazers, Buzzards, Bobs, weapon-crates/rockets/ammu/whatever. That'll be a trade-off

 

Aaaannd include a Blimp, please

[JON22]

I've read it has cargobob spawn points. Why the f*ck put those on it if it's not available in freemode?

[Squirrel__Army]

It could work if the rules around it are the same as Zancudo.

 

Nothing to stop people going over there but expect an instant 5* wanted level if you do. You can get the police to turn a blind eye for a visit and to steal a jet from there but chances of you surviving there a long time other than in the control room is slim.

 

Once it's there you can have missions which mean you need to steal jets etc.

 

If it is added I'd expect a lot of hype because it's new but after a few weeks it will just be another part of the scenery.

[ALifeOfMisery]

Would I buy it if it became available? Absolutely, why not?

 

I don't think it will be made available to own for almost all the valid reasons already posted.

 

I think it would be fun if it was implemented for Gunrunning missions, maybe even for a new freemode event of some kind (I'm not particularly creative so can't think what said freemode event would entail).

[Lonely-Martin]

To all wondering...

 

'Multiple yachts can be in the same area, except they are spread out. There are 12 spots around the map which you can move your yacht to, and there is a limit of 3 yachts at one time in the same location. This means that there are enough spaces in a single 30 player free roam lobby for every player to have their yacht on the map at the same time.'

 

Quoted from GTA Wiki...

 

I can confirm, I have been in session with 15 friends before, all with yachts... Not been in a full session of them. Maybe one day, lol...

 

Anyhow, I can see the seas getting cluttered if we can own it, for now, I feel it'll be for works to appear, to collect things from etc. But, we shall see, there is certainly enough (underused) ocean I'd love to have more involved...

[SHADOW OPS]

Maybe like on the heists it will spawn far out there.

[TyrionV]

As someone else mentioned earlier, think of it simply as an extension to the map. A floating Zancudo if you like. You don't own it and it's not Pegasus. Anyone can go to it whenever they want.

 

Don't see the problem with that at all. If you don't like it, don't go to it!!

[Zader]

I could see them potentially adding it and restricting it as an area such as with Zancudo, but I cannot see it being used for anything. The carrier is very small and confined, and doesn't have a huge amount of detail or places to go inside or up top. Having multiple players there would be a disaster to start with, especially if one crew of gunrunners is there to get some kind of cargo or something, and the other ones are just sh*tters looking for an easy jet spawn.

 

Overall, it would have no real use, but it would make sense to add it, somewhat. Gunrunning might not include actual, modern, top of the line, military kit, but including the structure for the sake of variety would be nice.

[CrysisAverted]

I'm gonna go with yes because theres nothing more murican than our awesome aircraft carriers

Not gonna happen.

[jdv95]

would be nice but i think rockstar won't add it to play it safe for the servers.

 

however i can see them add it for a special gunrunning mission activated on the bunker computer.

[The Wandering Hunter]

 

yeah but not purchasable.

 

it would be a waste if arms dealing didn't make use of that huge thing. there are a hundred different mission possibilities with it.

Reasonable response: I do want to own my own, but that is because there isn't much more I want in the game, and this would be something radically different.

the only problem is where do you put 30 aircraft carriers if everyone buys them?

 

there would be so many spawns and it would be really cluttered. the area denial of their presumed defences would also be rediculous, and can you imagine the jet griefing? this isn't an mmo military strategy game anyway and a private fully crewed aircraft carrier makes no sense. (is but it though, don't get me wrong, provided it offered the features i want)

Simple

Let people f*cking drive their damn boats

the most expensive purchase in gta and all it can do is teleport the hell

imagine, sailing into the sunset with your crew all of which on their own individual aircraft carrier

[Pressure Drop]

No way will the AC be purchasable, but I wish they would just add it into freeroam. Could also make some of the freeroam events happen on there too, no reason it shouldn't be there for exploration - it doesn't need to move just be there static as it is in the heist

Edited May 2, 2017 by Pressure Drop

[Beez]

Added as a location only in custom jobs like DM, Capture, LTS - 100% yes please!

 

Added as a static location in free roam - OK

 

Added as a purchasable location like the yacht - No

[.Vooodu.]

 

 

Added as a static location in free roam - OK

 

 

 

 

Make it a one stop repair and re-supply ammo for attack choppers and jets. Give attack vehicles ammo count. Jets for example (1000 explosive rounds, 4 rockets) Buzzards (2000 rounds 8 rockets) etc.

 

Charge LOTS of GTA money for the refills

 

Id be all for that..

 

And place that air craft carrier in various places around the map..

[davey1975pafc]

I'd pay to give up my yacht and exchange it for a aircraft carrier.

And for this pleasure I would pay rockstar 60 million gta $

I don't believe they will ever nerf the jets, to the chagrin of many on here. Too many people use and enjoy them, and RS isn't going to risk alienating a large portion of its fan base.

 

But, otherwise, very creative idea except for the fact that whatever work goes into making this happen, I don't see how RS can monetize this.

 

I think it will be all or nothing. If it comes to the game, it will be available for sale because, well, Shark Cards. I won't be the least bit surprised if it never comes to FM.

Well thats the thing.. If they did that. Its not really nerfing jets... If anything it would be just balancing it more inline with everything else in the game.

 

If anything R* is alienating alot of players by not balancing attack vehicles.. So making it have to refill would mean a cool down for players on foot or doing missions in free roam. Knowing that after a few good minutes of non stop explosive round spamming... If the jet didn't get the job done, they would have to pull out and refil. Giving at least 2-5 minutes of no jets to get things done.

 

 

But really.. They could make money on the repair/ammo refils. Making it costly... Even allow players to customize their jets/choppers at the air craft carrier too.

I don't believe there are that many people that would be peeved if jets were nerfed. It's a small minority that use them, and how many of those would actually quit the game if they were nerfed (balanced)? That's what makes it all the more irritating that this minority remains free to ruin free roam sessions at will.

 

In answer to the thread title: I bloody well hope not. The ability to own a carrier would be utterly retarded and not what GTA is suppose to be.

I totally agree..

 

It does make no sense to be able to purchase one.. But then again, so is buying jets and tanks and other military vehicles for civilian use.

 

So if GTA O R* logic is being applied. I could see R* making them able to be purchased for 20-30 mill... Not that i actually want to see air craft carriers all over the place.

I am going to make this quick because I don't want this to turn into an argument about the jets being OP as there are many other threads for this:

 

1) while I don't think your idea is a bad one, I am not convinced that RS sees the Jets being OP as a problem the way a portion of the fan base does. If they did, they likely would have done something about it already;

2) and if they were inclined to do something about it, there are easier ways than adding the AC, from THEIR perspective. Stuff that they add via DLC is about increasing SC sales, nothing else. In the rare instances where they have added things to the game that could have an impact on FM balance (e.g. HL), it was still an item for sale.

 

So, good idea, but I don't see it happening. Thanks for the feedback though, If you want the last word on this you can have it, because, as I said, I don't want this thread getting derailed.

[PwnageSoldier]

I vote yes because I hope so much.

I don't want it as a ownable ship, I want it to behave like the military base and get 4 stars for entering its airspace. I want to be able to raid that baby and rain explosive bullets on its hull. I might even want to reenact the Humane Labs Raid - EMP setup. Maybe I just might board it and by force become the new captain?

A thread asking for an aircraft carrier is intrinsically linked to the jet debate as it would obviously place more emphasis on jets in the game. Therefore it's perfectly reasonable for those that don't like jets to argue against it on this basis in the same thread.
