Planetside 2 doesn't need a lattice system, it needs a solution to the eternal 3-way

Exactly. Unlike the previous mechanic that started a 15(?) min timer on a base after a cap to add some semblance of permanence and ownership to a base, you'll be able to add that by pushing up through the lattice and remove/assault the link.
As I type that though, It makes me wonder if my (personal) problem with the hex system is the overabundance of links to any given base. This is especially apparent on Indar where, even if you do set up to defend an area, the enemy forces and simply shift to the left/right/up/down and bypass everything you just set up. Thus, no fight. Just an eternal circle jerk. Hell, I can't think of a single, unified organization that has the numbers to defend a front across the whole of a continent.
As to that problem, here's to hoping the mission system hurries up.
