Boats

[CRYPT0MASTER]

In the Invade and Annex server on Arma 3 there is a location just south of The Main Base called "Boats" it is the ONLY area on the map that you can get a boat, but Firstly, what is the point? There are no Naval missions and very rarely do you see any missions along the coast? An improvement that I would like to see is some sort of Naval side missions, like Assault an Oil Rig and gather intel or destroy enemy boats, etc. Secondly, can we get more boat spawns e.g. 1 north of FOB Guardian and maybe 1 south of FOB Guardian. I would like to see at least 1 at every FOB or at least near to them. Boats have a lot of potential but at the moment there are no uses fir them and to me this is a shame. Boats could add a whole new experience to the community and I personally would like to see them expanded in some way in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

We are currently cracking open old files to see if we still have the old underwater side mission since interest has been growing for missions like this, along with looking into other potential water based side missions.

 

If it works out you may see some new side missions and boat spawns in upcoming updates. If you don't see anything regarding the missions in change logs then that ship will have sunk

We actually used to have an underwater mission at some point but was removed if I remember correctly as it didn't work well.

Can I ask how often updates are on the I&A Servers?

Both me and Whigital work on I&A3 on a semi regular basis and we release an update whenever we have enough changes to warrant an update.

Hey Ahoy, would it be possible to add the boat spawns suggested above (with teleport from Guardian) even just to expand the transport/ingress options? After taking Guardian, it would be enjoyable to launch an assault to Pyrgos onto the small island and then push into the town as an example. 

 

The addition of the boats could be treated separately to expanding the mission objectives or adding water based missions. This would open up more options for an Air, Land & Sea style approach to some AO's.
