Imagine if all of the following was true:

- Shield gates existed on every courtyard entrance.
- All bases were walled and raised level walkways and had shields along roads.
- Shield generators were underground in a bunker system with courtyard bunker entrances.
- Base generators powering the entire base were on a level just below the roof of the big buildings.
- Spawns were centralized inside the main building.
- Sphere's of Influence blocked (enemy) Spawn Beacons.
- Jetpacks had limited fuel clips (dispensible in bursts) and would turn normal grunt after using it up.
- Jetpack fuel could be resupplied by engineers' ammo packs.
- Medics would have limited ammo.
- Engineers would have limited ammo packs and turrets.
- Sunderers would have the option to an equipment term only.
- You needed a linked Bio Lab for Harassers (at a heavy vech pad).
- You needed a linked Tech Plant for MBTs (at heavy vech pads).
- You needed an linked AMP station for Liberators (at heavy airvech pads).
- Control consoles were resecured akin to PS1 and at least immediately reset by 50-75%, if not fully (minimum reset of 40 seconds).
- AMSes and MBTs (crewed and heavier ;p) cost 375 resources, ATVs 25, Sunderers 150, Harassers and Lightnings 250.
- ATVs and Sunderers were always available at light vehicle pads.
- ATVs, Lightnings, Sunderers and AMSes always available at heavy vehicle pads.
- A PS1 style cert system was draped over the current cert system, where the current cert system became an account empire-wide tech research system.

Transports like Sunderers and Galaxies would become immensely more important. So would medics. Heck, triage would probably start having some use.

Basically, a need for mass transport would have to be created. We have too much individual access to too many vehicles right now.
Please make planetside 3
Pretty much think those are some nice suggestions, unlikely they'll ever get in (as I doubt SOE will ever read this) but good suggestions
