Ok, originally this was a joke, but then I had what i think is a stroke of genius. Ive suggested war vehicles multiple times, however, I have another idea.
Dropships.
When multiplayer is added, players will fight each other given the chance. And one of the best ways to do that is with vehicles. But once you get to the space travel stage of the game, having to go down to the planet, amidst enemy fire, to place down your tank/build it, is not only extremely dangerous but also very annoying. So, therefore, having a dropship in orbit, with which you can spawn pre-made or player-built tanks, whichever is best, and then being able to get in said tank (or any vehicle really) and drop down to the planet would be awesome.
I know this seems like I want Planetsmith to be a wargame but a dropship has other uses, such as dropping a scout vehicle to find a place to build an outpost, then flying back up with a newly built ship so that you dont have to take a big, heavy ship into the atmosphere. Plus, you could have any vehicle in the dropship, if Planetsmith ever has player-built vehicles (like create mod kinda).

real osprey
this is kinda it
except the ship never enters the atmosphere and the vehicle is deployed from space
would prolly have parachutes realistically but this is a game so not needed would be cool for immersion though

by the looks of the trailer, and from statements Ken has made (which may or may not exist), spaceships and likely by proxy other vehicles will be built using blocks (at least for the release version)
Which means, all you would need to achieve this would be support for very large vehicles (so they could move other ones with them)
real osprey
True
however what im thinking of is a portable spawner tho tbf thats neither very realistic or balanced
I should probably change the title of this now lol
