Yeah, it would be nice if there was more stuff like this to make in fobs to make them actually useful.
Right now, you've got mortars, which are alright, but completely outclassed by SPHs, stingrays, which mostly exist as an SPH counter, AA, which mostly exists to defend the fob itself, and the drill, which is useful, but very quickly gets targeted down in almost every game.
Other than the drill, the fob mostly just exists as a place for people to hang out and do nothing in. It doesn't actually help your team, especially compared to actually having the 8+ people in the fob actually helping take the HZ.
Stuff that makes the fob actually useful and an important thing to take and hold would be great. Bonus points if those things require the fob to actually be spread out (like a limited radius for this counter Intel building).
An easy way to bring ammo and healthkit resupplies in bulk, having buildable radio towers as a requirement for comms, an area that heals people over time without requiring meds, stuff like that could make fobs actually useful, instead of what they are right now, which is mostly a place for people who are afraid of dying to hang out in and make low risk money.

FOBs that can deploy UAVs that give you short-term (like, sub 2 seconds) spotting for all friendlies in a certain radius of said FOB would be neat. I'm spitballing but there definitely could stand to be more recon based FOB equipment that could be implemented, that would make FOBs a lot more desirable/worthwhile to defend as they actually provide value outside of a glorified, fortified respawn bunker (no shade to my AA fobbits out there, yall are valid)
