Any news on trading and crafting?

You mean the worst ESAV in the game? All it has is ease of use, which isn't really a good thing.

Like many things in games, it could be something you choose to do instead of being forced to do it. Like nobody is forcing you to be a Gal pilot, but other people choose to be. Having Galaxies in the game don't alienate the people who don't want to use them.

Not so sadly, this is correct. People will be so against this idea, that including it would probably be on the same level is reimplementing BFR's

I will admit that it if done correctly, just like BFR's, it could work. But who knows how that is, and at this point no one is worried about it not being in.

Compared to the TR MAX Lockdown (where NC can live longer by shields, and VS by flying in the air to avoid everything, even OS's)

What are you talking about?

I guess it depends on how you see planetside. I see it's potential as a war simulator to be far more interesting to me than as just a large-scale FPS. One of the things which I think was missing from the first planetside was some kind of logistics and/or resource management. These two ideas where half-heartedly implimented at best. No one really enjoyed driving an ANT out to sit inside a portal and no one really enjoyed endlessly stealing techplants to lock out the big guns (I'm sure some people did, but no one I know).

I'd just like to see it done properly or not at all.

Say you take over a base, engineers can then rush out to deploy various mining machines. Later they can come back (if the base is still theres) and collect resources with which they can craft goods to trade with other players.

For example what if a player brings an engineer 3 jackhammers, 2 starter motors and 4 armour scraps. The engineer takes this gear, adds some of his own mined resources and hads back a super-max kill suit +1 with ten uses or something.

Not only would this introduce a very simple economy system (add credits and your set) BUT it would also give people FAR more incentive to capture and hold bases. Just think of the range of things that could be crafted; new armours, new weapons, new vehicles, bling for your ride (spoilers, rims, tinted windows etc.) new beards and other facal accessories, glasses, shoes, armour/clothing dyes, etc. etc.

Ok... A mod needs to delete this kids account, because every thread he's started is honestly filled with BS and everything that's anti-planetside, next thing he'll resurrect the instances in planetside thread! Let's ban his IP before it gets worse... Screw that, let's ban his subnet!

Ermm...I really don't see how trading and crafting have a place in a fast paced persistent world shooter.

While I see and understand your point the same could be said for other RPG elements in planetside. The idea that you have to spend a fair length of time selecting certs, customising loadouts, messing around with your locker, sorting the boot of your vehicle, etc. could also not "have a place in a fast paced persistent world shooter" IMO.
