Hi all, my name is Adorician, and I'm a PA addict. No, seriously. PA is my absolute, hands down favorite faction in this mod.
I really don't feel that any units need to be removed, as I can simply choose to not build them. I think it would be better to just leave the lesser-used units in the game for those who like them.
As other people have said, the PA is a very well balanced faction, and I really don't see a huge area for improvement. But there a few things that do come to mind.
1. It would be really, really nice if the AT-AA's *weren't* one of the PA's slowest ground units, or if the PA had a faster unit with AA capability that wasn't a glass cannon when going up against air units.
2. I have felt at times that having all of the PA's space and ground units potentially available in era 1 can be a bit of a weakness, as the other factions get new (and at times better) units every era, while PA players are forced to adapt using increasingly outdated units. So naturally, I like the idea of being able to scoop up the cast-off projects of the IR as the eras advance. Or perhaps there would be a way to implement the tech steal function that some of the factions have in the base game, but limit it to a few uses, or even types of units as well? That way, PA players can get new units that could shake up or reinforce their play style, while at the same time forcing them to be smart about it?
4. The last thing on my wish list may not be feasible, but hey, why not say it. There are plenty of times in the canon (I guess we need to say "Star Wars: Legends continuity" now... still pisses me off) where factions capture capital ships of other factions, i.e. Booster Terrek and Rogue Squadron capturing the Errant Venture, the NR capturing the Lusankya, the Rebellion taking the Tyrant (aka Rebel Dream), which was then retaken by the IR, until it was again captured by the NR... I can go on. I'd love to see a feature implemented across all factions where you can capture (permanently, unless captured by another faction) enemy ships, and maybe even ground units. Obviously, this would need to be an ability that is either very expensive or has a very long CD, to prevent people from doing nothing but capturing enemy units.
This would answer all of the "PA doesn't have enough SSD's" complaints, and would negate the need for adding new PA units, as you can just capture them. However, I realize that this would result in a significant amount of work, and is probably not feasible. I can dream, can't I?
Lastly, PA survival mode. Please? Pretty please?
Edit: would also be nice if PA showed up in those faction summary graphs...
