Capturing/"Hacking" and Scouting Stuff

[Babyfark McGeez]

Hello fellow troopers,

i have questions concerning capturing mechanics and non-combat activities and if there is known what the plans for those are.

Currently base capturing is done in a very battlefield-like way; You go to the flag, stand around there for a bit and it's yours. What happened to the terminal "hacking" from the original PS? I think that system was way better because not only did it prevent vehicles from capturing bases but it also served as a tactical element in that you had to make sure nobody was around before you started hacking since you were immobile in the process. Any plans on the current system to be changed into that direction?

The second question is about non-combat activities. Last night i had a blast sitting in a tree behind enemy lines and watching the endless stream of tanks and vehicles driving right under me. It was awesome! But i wished i could have supported my team with such a "scouting" mission in any way. Like, marking the vehicles with my crosshair so they become visible on the map, or with an advanced tool more visible on the actual playing field. Or marking places for another unit to call an orbital strike. Stuff like that.
Also what about the ANTs? The original PS had alot of activities that didn't involve the battle as main piece. On that note, all those activities also gave XP. aswell as any other contributive action, would be cool to see that too.
