We reallly need this feature. I've outlined one way it might
work:
Players can only trade/give items in the safe zone. If you want
to give an item to a player, go to the safe zone and open the
menu. One of the options would be send equipment. From here, you
can send equipment to any player in the same safe zone as you.
This will ensure that people don't have to look through a massive
list of players. When you select send equipment, a list of
players in the safe zone comes up. You can select the player you
wish to send equipment to. Players an send all equipment with the
following exceptions:
Axe,
glok pistol,
their last 60 9 mm ammo,
field kit,
their last two med kits,
Reputation and experience.
This should prevent people from endlessly dying and trading eq as
they can't give away the starting equipment.
Note: If possible, I would prefer to see players be able to send
exact numbers of amunition/fuel/gas to players rather than the
traditional clips. While I can see several of the list members
already unhappy with the unrealism of this, if you just donated
your rifle and can't scrounge together a full clip you have
something to do with it. Also, this should help out with the
after-death regrowth period if players are willing to help each
other out. Also note that there is *no* reward for giving
equipment to other players; it's entirely because you want to
help somebody or want to give the equipment to somebody who can
actually use it.
