I think it would be fun in heavy fire! Other than that, it might be fun looking out for heavy fire.

Will I take the time to do ANT runs? I want to say yes, because I'm the kind of player that got sucked into freaking TRADESKILLS in DAoC -- sometimes, especially late at night, boring stuff like that can be a good way to pass the time.
But realistically, it really comes down to what kind of rewards we get for doing them. I don't mean reward as a status symbol -- but I want it to show up in my stats, dammit! I want 'ANT Runs Completed' to be there along with Kills, for EVERYONE to see. As we've often mentioned, stats kept in Planetside will be one of the many ways that players will have (besides the relatively easy Certs) that will let them see how they stack up against other players on their servers. Aside from just tracking, there should be just barely enough BEP reward to make it worth my while. And -- this is the big one -- the amount of BEP given should scale with the amount of energy that was delivered to the facility. Ie, what if the facility only needed a tiny bit? I really do like the idea of ANT runs -- the way the PS dev team is tying the control of structures into battlefield advantages (like expanded SOI, better healing, better vehicles) will REALLY help to alleviate the problems that DAoC had with Keeps -- they weren't that important, except (eventually) as a way to unlock a stinking dungeon. Even then they were just a statistic. PS makes facilities useful. The 'Hot Spot' idea (showing players where the action is) and the ability to drop down onto any location on the map not in an enemy SOI will help to minimize the problem in DAoC where Keeps would change hands trivially -- a certain number of high-levels would knock over 10 keeps in one night if they really felt like it, and the next night the enemy would do the same. It took so long to get out there, and PvP was so limited and irritating . . . it took 5 minutes, at the FASTEST SPEED, for someone to hear about an attack on a keep and get out there. It took way longer if they weren't already at the portal. :P Bear in mind that if you died without friends around it was another 5-minute trip (or longer, since you couldn't bind at the portal). In PS, even the fastest attack (let's say one could take a facility in 3 minutes from the start of the attack to the finish if it was unpopulated) would sound an alarm, and at least some form of resistance would show up before the attack was over. Then there's the wait for the base to change hands. In that amount of time, even on a slow night, I can see some formidable resistance being mounted by alert players. Man. I can't WAIT for PS. So, yeah, I think that players will do ANT runs. In fact, depending on how well informed we are about the current fuel levels of our various outposts (can I check them in-game, or only on spawn, or what?), I think there might be a problem with multiple refuelers. I can see some poor guy driving his ANT all the way to an outpost, only to find that a Galaxy-dropped ANT got their first. I'm not in the beta, so I wouldn't know this stuff.

The in-game map shows you how much fuel is at each station. I don't think it should show you how much fuel at an enemy station though.
One thing I really love about PS is the RPG build up, but you can change your mind. I quit playing so many RPG's, because after I leveled my character, I didn't want to play that way any more.
