What non-combat THING do you want to see added so badly it hurts?

What you want is a Lodestar.

better vehicle handling across the board, especially flashes

a proper R.E.K tool and PS1 spawn rooms.

I haven't played Planetside 1, but a friend of mine told me about the Maglevs. I'd love to see those (though as far as I know they had mounted guns, so not sure they're considered non-combat).
Otherwise I could do with server transfer possibility.

Player Housing?

Crafting?!

Hahahaha... Umm, ESF utilities (smoke rockets, for example, would make the game a hell of a lot more interesting)... Weather... Animals.

Cut one off like any real Amazon?

Regardless, it still makes the idea worthwhile.

A Max unit that just improves your speed and jump, keeps the class and weapons etc.
Ant system
More models for guns
Recert option
Doors
Custom huds
A leaver that pushes everybody out of spawn
Bridges that can be build and casplode
The lightning being able to overcome those ******* tiny holes.

Also, can we has radar jamming plox?

More cowbell.

Magrider water hovering.

Also, I totally want more purple camo. I don't have enough choices, SOE, give me more.

At this rate? Doors.

Fish. On Amerish ponds. Nothing fancy, just static dark shapes in the water.
Also, CHAIRS! Sitting down would be so epic!

They added these in SWTOR fairly recently.

I want a Space Viking Helmet.

Which faction?

TR of course.
NC might be getting a "Spartan" helmet after this awesome outfit logo, so I want a Viking helmet fragdammit:

Why the hell does everyone want Fauna... This war has been going on OVER 100 years, and I sure as hell don't think any type of fauna would positively impact the game in terms of gameplay. Giant NPC bosses? What do you want it to drop random loot and we need to kill space cows to harvest resources to craft C-4 and Grenades?
