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.

A structured train system on a all out war Planet...............I dont even know what to say.
