Public Transport

[demise14]

I think a public transport system should be added to each continent for infantry units. Such as a railway that intersected the continent and had stations near the bases. It's hard to work out the details, however. Any ideas?

1. Can stations be controlled?
2. Can infantry units spawn a train car and choose their destination, or is there a static train(s) that makes rounds to each train station?
3. How close are the train stations to the bases?
-Could the bases have underground stations? (which would open up a new area to defend. Defending infantry units would have to check the underground station whenever a train passed through to be sure no enemies boarded)

4. Would the train cars be weaponized or neutral?
-AA and mounted guns to defend from vehicles and attacks while en route?

5. Would the train cars be destructible or not?
6. Closed-in passenger type cars or simple cargo cars?
-Passenger type cars would open up some really fun infantry battles. Such as a squad boarding a train that has enemies on it and going car to car fighting for control of the train.

7. Train operator NPC or player controlled perhaps? (would tie in with #1)

I know there were a lot of times I had to get somewhere but there were no vehicle terminals nearby or I had heavy armor on, and was left with the option of killing myself or finding a nearby tower and using the max suit. I think this would be a great addition to help improve the pace of the game (especially for new players that can't yet afford to put certs in vehicles). It would open up a lot of new and exciting experiences for people that like to play as infantry units.
