Hello Monte355,
I can tell you this:
- The game does not support Galactic Conquest (GC) scripts for a fourth faction, so they will never be playable in GC. That's the reason why the Ancients replace the Tau'ri in the Pegasus Prelude GC instead of being a separate faction.
- We want to focus on the three main factions first, so having the Asurans as a full-fledged faction (especially for ground) is out of scope for us.
- There are some thoughts regarding the addition of the Asurans for space skirmish only since we already have a full fleet complement. Making the faction properly playable in space skirmish is still a lot more work than in appears to be at first glance, especially if we want to keep up with our quality standards. We are focusing on finishing the first "real" GC with ground part for the main faction first but after that... Well, we'll just have to see how things turn out then.
Hope this gave you some insight
