So, I've been thinking about the PA, and the mentioned plan to tie their new units to certain buildings/planets, and about the different suggestions in this thread.
If it's workable code wise, as I know EAW is a bit curmudgeony on that front, would it be possible to make the PA more or less Imperial based on where they choose to expand/invest? To explain this thought process, if the PA expands towards the core, it could unlock more high-end Imperial units, particularly if it could seize Coruscant, Carida and Kuat. At that point, they would likely have the best claim on being the true successors to the Empire, and could produce ships and troops they otherwise couldn't back in the outer rim. Executors on Kuat, AT-ATs on Carida, Stormtroopers on Corulag, etc.
The alternative could be, should they choose to focus more on non-Imperial space, we could see more unconventional, outmoded, ex-CIS, and perhaps units from the NR roster. Their corporate nature means they'd likely be able to incorporate various design firms, regardless of pre-existing loyalties should they come to dominate a given region. That direction is already there with the Munificient, and now Lucrehulk, but what about getting units common to corporate interests? Z-95s launched from bulk cruisers as a swarm fighter, perhaps things like Assault Frigates or a couple New Class designs late-game, if the PA can control and consolidate key NR shipyards.
These are pretty rough suggestions, built around the assumption you guys don't want to invest a bunch of time and effort into new assets at this point with Ascendency in the works, so drawing from the existent roster. Both the IR and NR have lots of under-utilized units which could be folded into the PA, should they expand and invest in the right direction, which could fill holes otherwise present in their roster, or open up new tactical approaches.
