Modern Pirates, Smugglers, etc...

[Coldfire]

I've been useing the USGC pack recently released and I've run into a serious problem.... I have nothing to fight! There are only a couple of armed boats in ofp and they dont look much like pirate ships or smuggler boats... So I was wondering if maybe somone would like to make some small, fast, and lightly armed craft that would suit as smuggler and pirate boats?

I was thinking of maybe some kind of modified civilian boat, with a mounted machien gun on the upper deck or on the bow...

Some pics to work with:

Just boats like those with machine guns added on would be good.

its hard to have modern pirates in ofp becouse you cant board
any ships, cause pirates dont just come shoot and blow things up.
but some asian or african polices could blow smuglers    ;D

it's possible to board ships in OFP... if they arn't moveing and are the type that let you walk around on the deck of... the problem is it's very difficult and not terribly practical.

But what I was thinking is a mission in which you have to fend off pirates before they get close enough to board... if they get too close, or cut of the escape rout of the ship that your defending, the mission is failed.

As for smugglers you dont really have to worry to much about boarding the ship than you do just chasing the damn thing down. After you finally manage to stop the damn thing, there could be a movie of you boarding it and arresting the crew.

Anyway, the whole point im trying to make here is there isn't much point in having a USGC pack if there's nothing to go aggainst it.

what about our boat.... it has a gun and can drop mines behind it to deal with any pesky boats chasing you   ;D

I just gave that a try, and theres a small problem with it... It can tear apart any USCG ship or helicopter in a matter of seconds! Besides, Smugglers and pirates arn't that well armed. I would belive a boat with a M2 .50 cal or a PKM mounted on the bow or somthing similar... but a Gattling cannon?
