In planetside terms, you need the BFR and the AMS (not necesarily right next to each other, but matched up in some way -- maybe the AMS is 100 yards behind the BFR to be kept back from the line).
True, they are only part of it but are not limited to only one form of protection.
Remember we didn't need BFR's to protect AMS's in Planetside. In-fact they gave away AMS locations as much as helped them.
Don't forget we could plant an AMS and protect it with 3 engineers better then a single BFR could. We would lay down our AMS then put multiple Turrets around plus mine or gun the hell out of the place. It made the static area very difficult to attack with the combination of Anti Air and Vehicle guns plus a turret.
The idea is to create a mobile base. As long as you create multiple ways to defend the mobile base rather then just giving the zerg a place to spawn you have accomplished your goal. That is a potential problem I see with Aion.
We have the mobile spawn point but other then standing around with our PC's there are no deployables.
