I personally don't care if there is never a Harasser or Skyguard, just so long as they bring back the ES buggies. The main reason being that I could easily see them allowing us to customize ES buggies to fill the rolls of Harassers and Skyguards, and then some.
Much as I think everyone has some fond memories of skyguards (I'm a pilot and I had a blast with them, gunning for them and hunting/avoiding them), but I think the main draw was the awesome high speed AA capabilities of it. I doubt most people would have enjoyed it any less if that same AA gun had been mounted on their ES buggy.
Hopefully they find lots of ways of making buggies a fun, unique and valuable contribution to the battlefield. They are a blast to drive and ride in no matter what, but I want them to be just as valuable as galaxies and MBT's and lightnings and Sunderers etc, in their own way.
Oh yeah and I want a Thresher that can fly for limited periods of time

This too. It could be that buggies come back in a very different form than we had in the first game. As long as they are still a blast to drive and are unique and useful.
I wonder if they will go with just giving us a single buggy, like the harasser, with ES customization options instead of an entirely unique vehicle for each faction. I hope not, but at least we would still have a buggy.
