Considering it's going to come with more game modes and *cross fingers* rebalancing, it's going to be great for the multiplayer people. Plus, it's going to make singleplayer much more interesting than the usual grind through waves of AI.
I like Mooster's idea - that way Advent doesn't have an even more insane advantage. They should get something to balance it out, though - maybe cheaper labs?
Its all about the bombers :D Advent have the best strikecraft, and you can send those things to do your dirty work from the other side of the grav well. Upgrade-wise, I think it depends on what you're using the starbase for - meteors are awesome for taking out a fleet, fighters/bombers are best if you want to be able to hit anywhere in the grav well (but are redundant if you're building somewhere you can also build hangers) and so on.
2 things - first off, I love this mod! The changes are subtle but effective at getting the under-used capitals back in the game. (Especially with the Vasari - gives us a reason to build anything other than the egg haha.) The one problem I noticed is a persistent minidump from using the Antorak's new subversion ability - in case it matters, the ability was level 2 and was used on a dead asteroid. Maybe it has something to do with low values of population/planet damage?
