Do you want Rockstar to add Aircraft Carrier to Freemode ?

[Rockstar_Fanboy]

 

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.

yes but this is the same game were we can buy a hoping car that has a parachute and missles on its front

The possibility to buy an aircraft carrier, could potentially mean we could FINALLY perhaps buy the Lazer in the game... I've been practising my landing on top of my Maze bank tower office. We finally got that move down, so let's hope aircraft carrier AND Lazer is on the list, I'm a lil tired of stealing one in the military base... Would be nice to spawn near one (when residing in the aircraft carrier)..

 

We can only hope.... But there's a definite possibility, as it would be THE most expensive item ingame yet (IMWO) and the possibilities for gunrunning would be tremendous.

People in this game can own armoured plated cars. They can own military grade fighter jets, tanks, combat gear and even a special ops prototype car that has parachutes and can shoot rockets. A civilian owning an aircraft carrier does not sound too abstract now.

You don't "own" the jets or tanks.

Yes you do. The only reason pegasus exists is because R* didn't design a garage or hanger to store these vehicles in.

 

In single player, Michael, Franklin and Trevor can all own the vehicles like the tank in their personal hangers. They own them. It would be the same online if R* weren't lazy.

I am curious why you believe we don't "own jets or tanks?" Because we need Pegasus?

 

That is silly man. I personally believe Pegasus was utilized to help create some balance. Get blown up in one of these vehicles, and you need to call for another and drive to get it. But the fact that you can get an unlimited number for a nominal fee, yeah, you do own them.

Also, Hydra is fatter, slower, doesn't make as fast as turns. And just plain ugly

freemode yes,

purchasable no, this would be ridiculous af.

I keep asking people why they think RS would bother adding it to FM. What is their incentive to do this?

[evd]

keeping game interesting?

[Rockstar_Fanboy]

Don't get me wrong, if I can't have my own, I prefer this over just in the heist.

 

But it seems like RS's motive to add anything to the game is Shark Cards.

where did you get that "laugh off the capitalism" remark from, because if that is true, RS failed abysmally. Large parts of this game are about nothing more than stockpiling items and cash.

 

The first part of your statement tells me that you aren't a big fan of the direction this game has gone. Truth is, it has been a constant escalation of more powerful weapons, and I think it will be even more so when the next DLC or two drop. I know all kinds of people who play this game a bunch AND are hard core COD fans as well.

 

Finally, it is fair to draw whatever line you want. There are plenty of reasons putting an AC in the game would be absurd (just the sheer size of it for one). But honestly, since it wouldn't have any kind of real fire power, and would just be a place to land and take off air craft, I have no idea why this is so threatening to some people. It really wouldn't be all that different from the Yacht except that it would have a long run way for planes that needed it to take off. I really don't get people's objections here.

I already made my contribution to this discussion; aircraft carriers make no sense from an ownable perspective; they're too advanced, too impractical and too much work for everybody to have their own floating airfield/fortress/command center parked off the coast like it's a miniature armada. If one spawned in Free Roam that would be a nice change, one that would open up a lot of opportunities down the line, but not as a massive yacht.

yeah, cool, but it doesnt change the fact, that OWNING a carrier is atmosphere killer. also, if you want to go this route in this topic, prepare for quick death of this thread. im out of discussing owning it in any way. Militia in this game is government driven institute and should stay this way.

It just makes zero sense in the GTA universe. Just because there are tanks and jets in the game already doesn't mean we need to completely disappear down the rabbit hole. If it were merely a place to store aircraft, what's the point? Would it add anything to the game? No. Would it further erode the sense of what GTA is meant to be? Yes.

Edited May 9, 2017 by Milesinho

[derek0514]

No

 

It's unrealistic for civilian own something like that and the price would most likely be too high in terms what willing spend. I have a yacht and one expensive item like that enough. I can land my hydra on my yacht if I want.

 

I believe they need add new real estate properties all over the map. Perhaps some high end ones along the ocean with like a boat house / docking and helipad. Some in remote areas wb great.

 

Another improvement wb stock market and or passive business properties like those in GTA 5. A real criminal exec is not going to be going out and risking his life in pvp.

No, it is my opinion that it will never be purchasable by players.

[evd]

so it seems that everybody except OP are against owning the carrier.

 

well, its reasonable.

 

 

 

I've stated here, like a year ago, about option of implementing carrier into freemode:

Because we have jets and tanks doesn't make everything fair game. That's not a sensible argument. Otherwise why not stealth bombers, laser satellites and nukes?

Yes, if by contribution you mean stating your conclusions (without explanation) as reasons, then yes. How are they "too advanced?" You don't say. How are they "too impractical?" Again, you don't say. How is it "too much work?' Again, we are left to wonder.

 

I don't have a problem with you stating unsupported opinions (that is 99.2% of what is posted here), but then coming on after that and acting smug with sarcasm (that lacks any trace of humor), well, that is going to draw a response.

 

I have given a number of reasons why they might appear, and you of course addressed none of those. I still think it remains a long shot, but the possibility is rooted in a study of past RS behavior and an understanding of their business model. If you want to respond, I request that you consider addressing my points. Thank you.

what were those reasons?

Yours is a reasonable take. Part of my hope for the AC is that the lazer gets added, and one would need a runway to take off from.

 

Also, I am a day one player, have purchased everything that I want, and I sit a on pretty big bank balance (I won't give numbers, I don't brag about fake digital cash). There just aren't that many more things for me to buy, so something like this is really appealing. I have said in other threads I would also love a mansion if RS loaded it up with things to do (you can add a bowling lane, tennis courts, putting green, basketball court, etc.) The AC carrier is a bit more likely IMO because they have already designed it, and they can implement the defense system from the yachts.

 

But I agree with Mach and many others, the odds are against it, and I voted no above. I will say, odds: 20:1. What is puzzling to me is the number of people who absolutely don't want it but can't say why. Common, who wouldn't want their own aircraft carrier? I mean, honestly....

Edited May 9, 2017 by Rockstar_Fanboy

[Sentinel Actual]

What I also want to stress is that if the aircraft carrier were indeed made purchasable, it would not be the one we see in the Heist.

 

That one is a floating interior; R* would no doubt gut the bejesus out of a purchasable one to save on memory, because let's face facts: we are dealing with a Nimitz-class supercarrier with a fully modeled hangar, flight deck, CIWS turrets, wet deck. Having 8+ floating around San Andreas all with that level of detail, plus all the amenities people want (customizable interiors and exteriors, have it be an Office, etc) would take up a lot of resources.

 

So R* would limit the interior space, the amount of vehicles that could spawn on it, the ability to use it as a mobile Office. If they did that, it would be rendered pointless.

There have to be realistic limits, you're right.

[Rockstar_Fanboy]

owning it = cashcards

 

well, we are not interested in such discussion.

 

We are not interested in such a discussion, and yet, you keep posting. Are you admitting to trolling then?

 

Cash cards, yes. This is what drives RS. The fact that is has already been designed, and all they have to to activate it. The fact that a model for it already exists in the yacht. The fact that a portion of the fan base is requesting it. Those things mi amigo.

What I also want to stress is that if the aircraft carrier were indeed made purchasable, it would not be the one we see in the Heist.

This is my concern as well. I do have concerns about memory issues and ultimately the stability of the program. I honestly do not know how much more can be added to online before its entire stability is in jeopardy. I would love to hear more from people who know a lot more about software programming than i.

 

I knew you were capable of writing responses with some depth.

this game is about car jacking mate.

 

those tank? it was a bonus vehicle, easter egg from the start, its not that they've put two jets, and from now on it will be Grand Theft Duty.

 

no for owning the carrier, any else worthreading case with the carrier or can we assume that everything has been said about it?

If you think this game is about car jacking, then my man, you are missing out on so much. Stop jacking cars and selling them to Simeon for $9k.

 

There are CEO enterprises you can run. Crates of contraband to collect and sell. You can have a motorcycle club, and run a Cocaine lock up, a meth lab, weed farm, and more!! God, so much to this game. I am beginning to wonder if we are even talking about the same game. Are you talking about GTA 1?

[Haokizaru]

We need to make a petition to force R* to add the Aircraft Carrier even for 500 m $ i'd instantly buy it.

 

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Rockstar_Games_TakeTwo_Interactive_Add_the_Aircraft_Carrier_into_GTA_Online_for_players_to_own/?cuDVbmb!

 

Also, useless youtubers like MrTrashFTW should for once do something useful in their lives and talk bout this so R* listens to us, i mean it wouldn't take them long to make us able to purchase it.

 

Make it happen guys !

[Lonely-Martin]

I just believe it will be added as a location rather than buyable because with possibly 30 yachts and 30 aircraft carriers would be too much for load times, but it could, IMO, be added to freemode, purely because it exists in game already and think the coding to allow it out there is much easier (lazier) on R*'s end... Looking at the last DLC, the best part of it was the release of exclusive vehicles to everyone, allowing returnees to get them free/refunded too, rather than the newer things added, and all R* did was unrestrict things in the code... (hence my 'lazy on R*'s end comment)
