It's strange to see people writing about this, 'who would drive one of these?' that obviously never played Planetside 1.

ANTs *were* harvesters!

Planetside wasn't just an MMOFPS, it was arguably the realisation of MMOFPSRTS - with each troop controlled by a real human player, preferably under the guidance of commanders; but with no compulsion to sacrifice personal initiative.

Surely there will be this sort of thing in PS2, I hadn't heard they'd removed them from PS1 and if they did I think that is really disappointing. Those last minute GAL+ANT moments while defending a base were often epic, requiring strategy for a purpose, clearing the CY, emptying the position of mines. A reason not to just camp in the base farming XP from invaders.
