This is what I enjoyed about the first Tribes game. I remember wandering around my base, repairing the generators, placing turrets, fixing sensors, and murdering attackers. The rest of the team would be off grabbing the other teams flag or messing up their base.
IMO the sequels didn't get the balance between base maintenance and flag running quite right.
Damn dude, now I'm actually remembering base maintenance in online competitive games where you play a single character at all. Back in the day I used to enjoy that in Command & Conquer Renegade. Id hang back and repair people's vehicles and the base when it came under attack.
I dig the role based games where deployables and vehicles are a thing. I'm sure there are still some around, but I can't think of any.
The only thing that comes to mind would probably be the latest iteration of the Starsiege: Tribes series. Or I mean, the OG Tribes was great, and still one of my most fondly remembered shooters. Probably still some servers somewhere...
