What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
A map change to change some of the ice sheets from around the map into actual areas of water (for swimming), most specifically the changing of the following ice:
- Lake House Ice
- Ice next to Foundation

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Probably not.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Interesting change of surface, allowing for possible new raiding strategies or surface combat interest
- Water RP increases 100 fold (only current water is radioactive)(could be for normal RP or event)
- Fishing can be added afterwards

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Obvious use of mapper / dev time sadly less worthwhile than actual base updates or Pinewood changes
- Possibly more lag because of change in map
- Peoppe may dislike the change in surface, especially around Foundation as it may stop raiding or vehicles

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe this would be an interesting and cool change to surface (which is in need of changes in my opinion), I think this could expand and open up some new RP paths on surface and a small few for events and RP enhancements. I realise that should this be accepted it would still be very low down on the list for mapping work :)
