This is an idea suggested by another user actually, but I hope devs take note of this and seriously think about. This stuff is likely to hit the Test Server before Christmas: Now dear devs, don't do the mistake to present this as a simple "2016 update". Market the construction system as "the first Planetside 2 free expansion". The message you will deliver can make a difference, the word "expansion" itself has a special appeal to players. Those who open the newsletter or browse the website must think "Oh **** it's definitely time to come back to Auraxis and see how this works!". The construction system can be a huge opportunity, don't waste it!
I hope they don't go through with the shootable shield and core thing. Any 1 Lib, tank or BASR could solo that without chance of retaliation.
