no vehicle lock picking in safe zone

...we can't shoot each other, we shouldn't be able to pick door locks on vehicles either. Then we can all show up, park our cars and go party!!!

Not a good idea. Safe zones would just become parking lots. The only upside there is that there would be a slight uptick in player interaction.

so....a parking lot..not like all 64 cars are going to be there..

If they're pick proof in the safe zone and there's no risk to your character due to there being no PVP damage a lot of people would just park there for safe storage and log out. I don't remember whether vehicles take damage in the safe zone or not. If they do that would be the only risk. Just a bit too far, imo.

...actually..if they did this, and vehicles disappear in 10 days if not driven, then you could also start ambushing anyoen coming out of the safezone who parks there like that. Then pick the lock etc..kind of like bandits raiding a city from the woods in old days =D

What about bikes, though?

A lot of players now take huge fps hits when entering a trade zone. This would multiply greatly if a bunch of vehicles could be stored there! People were making improvised rafts and storing them in the trade zones before cause they could not be picked and just crafting another one and moving the contents prior to the 10 day expiration!
