Mod First Impressions/Questions

I downloaded the mod a few days ago, and have been loving it. I'm a huge Stargate fan, as well as a fan of strategy and RTS, so this mod is like the best thing ever for me.
I'm not sure if this is an existing issue from EAW, or something new, but you have to click several times on asteroids to get the option to set up a mine. and that only if the game recognizes the fighters being near the asteroid.

Also, the Goa'uld seem under-powered. This might be intentional, but it is near impossible to win if the Wraith and the Tauri are both on a map.
Other than that, I haven't had any issues, and I'm loving this.
onto the questions

I thought this was dead at first, since it looks like this is the first post on the English forums since 2014, but I saw recent posts on the other forum. So: Is this mod dead? and if not: Will we get an update soon?
I saw that you were having issues with the ground part of the game, and just wanted to say that I'd be perfectly happy with just space, and maybe a simple workaround to remove ground entirely.
Of course, that doesn't matter if you are continuing to work on ground battles.

So: Thanks for this incredible mod, and thanks again if you answer any of my questions :Db

Yeah, indeed the mod is alive and the GC Maps will come.
