The fact is, that all the new games are missing a player for the Rebels (six out of six!!!!) and four of them are missing the a player for the EE.
OK, I don't have prejudices against Rebels or Empire. I mean, if you play Empire, you get to wear a funny hat, and if you play Rebel, you get a gnome with funny grammar, so what's wrong with that? 
Many of the ideas boil down to that we need a "join" mode other than: you pick you slot, and that decides your race.
We need: you join and select your race (but not your slot). Or: you join and select your 3 preferenes. Or even: you join and nobody gets to know you joined.
So I gave that feature a big boost on my feature priority queue.
Regarding features, I currently work primarily on the client side, that's why there's little visible progress on the website. But PCC2 Next Generation lays the foundation of the web app, and I have the hope/dream that that could help getting some more players. PCC2 Web plays in the browser, and PCC2 NG is a native app that can connect to the server, so no need to mess with directories and 8.3 file names like it's 1994.
(Another idea I had a while ago was to have some achievements. So playing race X gives you an achievement, and you can only get full score if you ever play Rebel and EE.)
