Maybe folks missed this in all the AI invasion stuff (which we have heard about before) and the F2P announce, but....

Skills directly affect a character's ability of increasing weapon damage, modifying vehicles, and crafting.

But wait, it was mentioned a second time in that same short article...

Territory control is about taking control of resources which offer the necessary materials for creating weapons and upgrading equipment.

Crafting? seriously? I get the resource system and the desire to be eve-like which had player manufactured items.... but that really took away from the action of the game and made economy, production, and logistics full-time jobs that were incredibly boring but necessary to succeed in the game.
