[Phisionary]

I thought it would be interesting to have some sort of courier missions, or pickup missions or something. Having a general purpose transport aircraft, you could implement a lot of various new game mechanics, maybe in conjunction with the mission system. Transporting critical cargo from point to point across enemy territory (and the fighter support defending the cargo carriers). Or having to retrieve meteor fragments for a resource bonus or something. Set up a spawn, defend the fragment, and hold the area until some number of cargo vehicles can arrive and load up.

I'm hoping that PS2, with it's new scale, has a lot of room for new elements to the metagame. RTS sort-of elements, where you are battling around something happening, or someone trying to accomplish something in particular, rather than just base captures. This kind of new aircraft could help in that direction, as well as adding some cool new possible support role opportunities. I like it.
