I posted my thoughts about your mod recently, but it turned out to be way too long. Which is why i post the rest of my comment here.

What I generally think:
This is the best mod for EaW, one that both does incredible service to the old fandom and brings new life to the game at the same time. The amount of detail that went into various characters, ships and scenarios is fascinating. I really liked the event feature, that spawns historical missions (such as Coruscant evacuation or Katana fleet). I appreciate that even Zann Consortium can be unlocked :) Making damages to dreadnaughts last between battles was an excellent idea. I believe that the AI has been greatly improved as well. It can coordinate attacks and retreat. The overall gameplay is superb.

What could be improved:
1. Regarding retreating the AI could use some work still, as sometimes:
a) it retreats when it shouldn't, like when there are no actual units to be saved, just space station garrisons;
b) it does not retreat when it should, such us when at Orinda Campaign it refused to retreat the bearly breathing Lusankya, even as there was no hope for the AI to inflict any casualties to my fleet.
2. While the AI does a good job at coordinating assaults and calculating what kind of force it needs to get the job done, it could be more focused on protecting what it captured. It poorly calculates what kind of force it needs to repell a potential counterattack. It is easy to inflict substantial casualties to the AI by counterattacking weak fleets (which were good enough for capturing a level 1 space station, but not enough to withstand a major counterattack).
3. Perhaps the AI could be taught to target gravity wall generators when it wants to retreat, instead of waging a pointless battle?
4. Maybe all capital ships (not only dreadnaughts) should retain the damage taken until the next galactic cycle? It would make frigates much more useful and would prevent situations when a barely flying star destroyer enters another battle a moment later fully functional.
5. In Thrawn Campaign scenario I would recommend adding staging areas (simple asteroid fields with level 1 space stations) for the Empire to move around the galaxy. At this moment Thrawn has no option to strike at Ukio or Sluis Van early.
6. I think you should consider scripting events that buff the New Republic at Orinda Campaign and in later scenarios (when you play as the Empire, ofcourse).
7. Reunification scenario needs some additional mechanics for the Galactic Empire. Right now it is very difficult to progress at a reasonable pace, as poor infrastructure prevents expansion.

Questions:
1. Do you plan to expand the events in historical scenarios? I see a lot of potential there. Like scripting an event that pushes the Duskhan League forward (I did not observe any action from them in the game) or the attack on Sluis Van for Thrawn, that would allow him to capture some ships. While at Thrawn Campaign, when playin as the New Republic you could make Ukio fall to Thrawn and make a fleet appear there, to make it more interesting (if such a feature is not implemented already, I did not play this scenario as the New Republic yet). I think it should also be possible for Daala to have the Greater Maldrood united, upon arriving at the gathering place (I do not remember the name), if certain conditions are met. Or give her a special raid at Mon Calamari, that if successfull, might grant her some income or something. The possibilities are quite enormous.
2. Will the influence mechanics play a more important role later? Will it improve the economic output a bit, or grant bonuses (or penalties) in battle?
3. Do you plan to recreate the Hunt for Zsinj scenario?
4. Do you plan to add time-limited missions into the historical scenarios to reward the player if he achievies certain objectives more quickly?
5. Do you plan to create a dedicated liberation historical scenario dated 4ABY - 6ABY, which would focus on the New Republic's diplomatic efforts and early conquests? The drive for Coruscant would also be an intersting and yet quick scenario.
