 So I see those indestructo carts with the cranes on the back a lot, especially in Line Harvest.
 
 I was wondering if CCP and the player community would be interested in being able to deploy things like bulldozers and excavating drills for a furthering of the "sandbox"
 
 These vehicles would basically allow a player to alter the battlefield to their tactical needs. Following are examples, not a list of requests
 
 
  A crane could be implemented to move those large containers and other things (maybe supply depots and CRUs) to a place they can access while manipulating their load. 
 A bulldozer that can clear bumps and smaller land forms to landscape the battlefield for things like vehicle deployment, installation drops, or even a makeshift camp.
 A drill could be used to bore into building walls, making a breach for soldiers to enter through should a lock be inefficient to hack or less effective. 
 A backhoe could be used to dig pits like foxholes or easy booby traps such as in the Baja 1000. This Video shows how demonstrators built a booby trap in the race! As an LAV driver, it would mix things up for me.
 A combat version cherry picker could be used as a mobile elevator for troops. 
 A dump truck could essentially fill in holes/booby traps, bury the unsuspecting enemy, or do landscaping
This would be good for all the HAVs and LAVs out there
This thing digs trenches well, but probably not good for deeper excavation
 Let's not forget wrecking balls
 
 The real-world military uses these things, as seen here
 Again, these are just examples of such an implementation, not a list of suggestions. Also used to get my idea across.
 
 Again this would be a big task on CCPs end, so I wouldn't be too down if you throw this in the trash.

 O gee I'm really embarrassed. I had this idea long ago, but only recently agreed to myself it was a good idea, but there's literally the exact same thread made not too long ago. Darn it. Link to Other thread.
 
 Super embarrassed.
 
 Could we merge them? I think mine has more depth though.
