So your fighting on the North side of a cont when you see a back hack in the south. SL makes a mission, everyone else logs out then back in and chooses that mission to port there.

I think that, in PS1, you could use Instant Action anywhere - it just took a while to deconstruct. I'm positive that nothing stops the PS2 guys from implementing something similar in the sequel. There is no good reason to force a squad/platoon to spend 10 minutes just traveling, when they can just use some functionality to arrive at the closest spawn point or facility. Preferably facility, though.

Hmm, good point. Gonna wait and see i guess, sooner or later during beta we all will exploint the shit out of every system anyway.

Maybe you can only spawn for game made missions? I wouldn't like it to be too flexible, I'm worried it will devalue transport.

i think xp rewards should be given not only for "quests", but also for squad level commands given by the squad leader.

the key is to reward team play, but not punish for non team play.

Transport only has value between wherever you can spawn it, and your objective. Otherwise it's just a useless time sink.

Absolutely not. Under no circumstances will Planetside 2 missions remotely resemble this...

Because we don't have hinterlands.
