Just a few things about it if you observe [URL="http://imageshack.com/a/img69/6636/t70v.jpg"]Here[/URL] You'll notice that this is an M249 SAW Machine gun which well be placed on the doors of the patrol helicopter ([URL="https://trello.com/c/hvEhTphN/189-patrol-helicopter-weapons"]Source[/URL]) that's a first person view in the bottom portrait What i'm curious of is what well be this copters purpose? Well it be an npc flown mass murdering machine? Or well it be a players holy grail? The actual patroll helicopter ([URL="http://imageshack.com/a/img546/8104/2fo4.jpg"]found here[/URL]) Also has a cockpit view already coded, that possibly means players well have access to it. Just a few things I wanted to point out all Dev information can be found [URL="https://trello.com/b/lG8jtz6v/rust"]here[/URL] on the trello (Which is still awesome that it's open for public view!) What I want to know is what is everyone else thoughts/opinions on this?
Edit: After reading [URL="https://trello.com/c/beBdNWlc/219-major-balance-pass"]This[/URL] so far it seems an arguement could be made where this helicopter would search out those with military grade gear (Kevlar, M4's etc etc) It in the process would leave the loot like as said Robin hood.
Secondary Edit: If you check [URL="http://imageshack.com/a/img23/8568/blvs.jpg"]this[/URL] out you well see that these are.. yes! Rocket pods, this could possible lead to the destruction of bases? Finally a nemesis for those who are strong enough to build metal bases and need a real challenge from a raid?
[I]Note: This is my idealism on what may be happening, so don't freak out and think any of it is 100% guaranteed to happen or even stay if put into the game.[/I]
Maybe you smoke signal a base you want leveled ;)
The helicopter will only a event like the airdrop. It will hunt and kill people and bases won't be safe because they'll just blow it up. Helk said it won't be driveable (yet). The person modeling the items just future proofed for when they do make it player driven.
So if it is an Event like the Airdrop it would be a command to spawn for admins like the Airdrop,right?
If this would be,i see the screaming about admin abusing cause they spawn 20 Helicopter xD.
Ok BTT,so bases wouldnt be safe?if it hunt ppl,ok.But to destroy the bases is in my oppinion a lil bit too hard.
I mean,sure,since the last patch this game isnt for 1-2 hour player or Weekend Gamer.But if this Helicopter destroy your base it make no sense to play the Game if you have an Job or else.
I build my first Metal house and farmed now 2 Days (play at this 3-4 Hours) to get the Stuff for it
I'm all for the heli hunting down people, but yeah... not down for destroying buildings.
OMG, ever since I was a kid, i wanted to do this:

Now, thanks to Rust, I can!! :rock:
I do believe I explained it in yet another thread (I think that makes 5 threads now)
[QUOTE=InsaneParrot;43254408]It will be an event like the airdrop, where it will come, and people will hear it in the distance and hide or run for it, because when the helicopter's coming, you're fucked. It's going to rain down on people who have been naughty. It will shoot people based on whether they're holding weapons, or armor. It will have a m249 SAW and rocket pods, which will be used to murder bandits. Buildings probably won't hide you, because the rocket pods will find you. Trees can be used to hide yourself from the helicopter. So for god's sake, hug a tree. In the future you will be able to shoot it down to obtain high-grade military items. It will not be operated by players, but it could be in the future (especially when the map is opened up).[/QUOTE]

ArmA anybody?
[QUOTE=heyligerbb;43265070]ArmA anybody?[/QUOTE]
I dabble in a bit :P
I was a little afraid when I saw that they were adding this, due to the possibility of having it player driven, but I am confident that the dev team will do their best to make it work, just like they did with guns.

Just out of curiosity, how did you figure this out? Also, if they implement it like that and as long as it only comes every few days then it sounds great.
