Engineer Idea's

The drones idea is really cool. It could light up all the enemy it see's on the mini map as well for everyone.

I would like to see the engineer be able to construct destroyable cover, in the form of sandbags or small walls (not a transparent energy shield).

I would like to see the unmanned spitfire turrets return (although we did see a cert for this in the E3 demo so I'm hopeful).

I would like to see engineers be able to repair armor of other infantry, not just vehicles and MAXes.

A field support/repair vehicle that only engineers can drive. This could be a component of the forward base idea. Maybe it can repair and resupply vehicles and infantry when deployed, and when it's not deployed it can act as a minesweeper.

This isn't new but slightly changed.. The manned turret has a shield for the user. I would like to see an expanded half height shield on each side.
So fully shield for the gunner, and side shields for friendly cover. Would be like an MG nest that other people could shoot from.
would probably have to reduce the swing range of the turret so the whole thing doesn't move...

Which deployables have been confirmed?

Turrets, anti-vehicle mines and resupply stations I believe.

Been suggested like a hundred times on this forum... but I like it so Im'a do it again!

That sounds like a fantastic idea, but it begs the question if there will be chasms that hinder movement.
