[Cut to the UGTO Engineer sitting in space around a planet with Wilco's 'Someone Else's Song' playing on the speakers]
Engineer: "Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer, that means I solve problems."
[A Railgun round flies near the Engineer, he ignores it]
Engineer: "Not problems like 'What is Lobbyghost?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy."
[Two Missiles fly towards the engineer, close to the Engineer's fore. The missiles explode before hitting the ship]
Engineer: "I solve practical problems."
[The Engineer ship finishes up a weapon platform next to him. The drones return to the ship as the weapon platform spins towards an unseen enemy. An explosion occurs. [The Engineer starts to build something on the planet. The Prestige counter clicks up from 209-241]
Engineer: "Fr'instance..."
[The camera shows an ICC Frigate in the background trying to sneak up on the Engineer]
Engineer: "...How am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind?"
[The weapon platform notices and kills the Frigate . The Prestige counter clicks up to 278]
Engineer: "The answer..."
[A sensor platform next opens fire and kills a k'luth scout with the help of a weapon platform. The ship explodes and the Prestige counter clicks up to 313]
Engineer: "...use a gun. And if that don't work.... [The planet fires a volley of anti-ship weaponry past the Engineer] ...use more gun."
[A large explosion is seen. The Prestige counter clicks up to 354 as a piece of debris drifts towards the Engineer]
Engineer: "Like this heavy caliber, Spinal-Reinforced little 'ol number designed by me..."
[The Engineer tractors the debris, which is shot out at by a weapon platform]
Engineer: "...Built by me..."
[The weaon platform shoots yet another attacker. The Prestige Counter clicks up to 401.]
Engineer: "...and you'd best hope...not pointed at you."
[The camera zooms out from the Engineer as his Weapon Platforms continue to devastate the attackers. It is revealed that the Engineer is sitting around Exathra with an ICC Fleet assaulting him]

Is this a proposal or just a story?
I would personally love the idea of being capable of earning prestige from the buildings you create, not just for building, but also for the damage they deal. But there should be a drawback too: if they are destroyed or captured, you will lose prestige as well, and a good portion of prestige.
That would force engineers to be more tactical. you cannot earn prestige just by building weapons platform after weapons platform, it would be too dangerous should a good assault destroy them.
Tactical placement would be key: if you place them close together, they would be better protected, but also prone to friendly fire, earning you negative prestige. Place them too close to an enemy path will get them killed too soon, get them too far away, and when finally someone comes close it's someone who thinks he can destroy them with ease.
everything would only earn you raw prestige, so a supply platform/depot would not earn you supply points, and a weapon platform would not earn you battle points.
Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

I love it. however, it's a rip from a team fortress trailer. Good one though.
