Greetings
Alright, I've decided to voice my many opinions on this modpack/fanspansion that is being made.
~ Since you guys have dropped the multiple sub-faction idea, why not make it to where each faction gets 2 special buildings filled with special units unique to their faction?
~ A few more faction-colors would be great. That is, of course, if it doesn't require you to remake every single model with a ninth color. (Pink, white, and black could make for good colors, for example)
~ Maybe making the techs cost more to level up to or such? I dislike the fact that you tend to jump from Tech Level 1 - 4 in 20 - 40 minutes.
~ Would it be possible to make it to where each faction is able to produce a 'hero' unit from their command centers at TL4? Make them all balanced and similar and such. I came up with a list that could work.
Galactic Empire: Darth Vader
Republic: Mace Windu
Wookies: Yoda
Rebel Alliance: Luke Skywalker
Naboo: Qui-Gon Jinn
Confederacy: Count Dooku
Trade Federation: Darth Maul
Gungans: Uh, I suppose they could get young Obiwan?
Zann Consortium: Uh, I dunno.
~ A larger map type and an option to include 9 or 10 civs instead of 8. (I dunno if it's the mod or steam that did this, but the max amount of units on my game is 1000, which means a bigger map type and more civs would make sense)
~ Maybe start a Patreon so people can help fund the mod? I'd try to contribute, but I figured if there were a Patreon it would help you guys be able to hire more artists/coders/what not.
~ Strike me down if you want cause I understand this is the hardest unit to make ever but a custom worker for the Zann Consortium or a new one for the Federation would be nice. (Or perhaps just make the Consortium's one silver?) Also, why Greedo over IG-88 for the bounty hunter? :P
~ That's all I have for now, thanks for taking the time to read my overly-long list. I'll be working on my skills with MSPaint & Photoshop for this (whichever's easier, really.) And by the way, could I get the dimensions of pixels for the base of each building?

Alright, thanks for the reply Dallows.
Another question that doesn't involve adding units/models - Will you guys be making the AI act with more skill and less.... cheat?

I just had a thought for a unit. A Detector Droid or the like that can detect invisible/infiltrated units. And yeah, that's all it'd do. It's pretty bleh but I'd rather have to build some cheap droid to detect filthy jedis over building mounted troopers and/or bounty hunters (I believe those 2 detect infiltrated units)

Another unit idea I came up with once (for AOE2 actually but I feel it would work here as well) was a 'turret' ship. Basically, a small transport ship (infantry only) with a weak attack, but like turrets gets a boosted attack from units inside it.

Hey Dallows what do you think of the alien models. The walking's good right you know the death i put it on one because i was in a hurry doing models plus i got the idea from andrea italy's grand ree yees the sprite from dark forces i am doing the best i can with the animation it is very hard . but what about the fighting and standing are they good i will keep practicing though to make them better. I am going to persue my goals.

I figured that since the next update is focused on the scenario editor, I'll try to do a storyline for the Zann Consortium. Although, after looking, it seems like most/all of the members of the Zann Consortium have quite fleshed out stories. Should I use a custom character to use as the hero? (using all the fancy-techno-scenario editor stuff to change a character into another character, that is.)
