The decal system was put in place after I left the game, apparently. Good for them, at least they listened to one request.
Hardcore FPS gamers that have come to expect a certain level of quality will probably be turned off by the game as soon as they get over the initial awe of the size and scale of it. At least that has been my observation from about 20 or so long time friends that have tried it. A few even paid for it and then cancled. What a waste of $50+.
I see PlanetSide as an important step forward for the idea of the MMOFPS. When they can deliver the granular detail of a game like Q3A, UT2003, Tribes 2, etc, then they will have something I will pay monthly for. PlanetSide just isn't there today. The fine details are missing, and it just screams at me when I play. It's those details that make the game world come alive, and serve as the doorway to "suspension of believe" or immersion.

He cut the possum's face off then cut around the eye socket. In the center of the belt buckle, where the possum's eye would be, he has placed a small piece of wood from his old '52 Ford's home made railroad tie bumper. Damn, he misses that truck.
