A lot of changes can be made, like buffing pw defense. If thats to hard, look at my recommendations.. Simplify (or fix) pw money system. Just look through forums and google tickets. AT LEAST MAKE MENIAL FIX OF JUMPGATES WORKING WHEN THEY ARE DEAD!!!!
Sometimes I wonder what PW would be like if every faction WAS a faction. (so instead of fighting against Empire and use the exact same technology as empire has when they are your worst enemy, make every faction have its own set of units. They could just be the current units with different names and retextured models) That is just a fantasy, I doubt it'll ever come true, unless we had as many units as Tech Anni. But seems interesting.
