Gameplay: ANT Idea for Logistical Rescource Carriers

[PredatorFour]

Here`s my idea....

Imagine we capture a valuable area for rescources. Once we lock down and capture the area we use ants (i know there`s no ants planned but that new nanite systems vehicle struck me as very `ant` looking) to collect the rescources at a particular point and relay the rescources back to a specific area under control deep within our lines.

This would give some more variety to the gameplay and encourage more behind the lines spec ops missions to destroy these rescource carriers.

Or even if there was AI controlled logistic conveys (no guns) travelling between each base relaying rescources that could be sabotaged/blown up by the enemy. This would even encourage the empire to defend these routes or they cant get their precious upgrades and weapons.

I miss the ANT...the escort missions were, while not the most exciting still very cool. I thought they brought another dimension to the kind of missions you could do, as well as created really important situations where you HAD to go get the goods to keep the base up and running...Are they still saying they won't be in PS2?

Yeh they wont be in, was fun dropping an ant into a hot cy to gain an extra 10 % ntu. This would be an extra thing for support minded players to take part in. Think it would be ace for a squad of 4/5 scythes to fly behind the lines to blow up their supply transports stopping them momentarily from capping rescources.
