One of the major things that you have to add to the game is extra chassises (submarine, bomber, artillery). I think the build your own unit idea will then come much more to life in the game. Also it will become much easier to discriminate between the different units. It might be a lot of work/money, but it's worth it.

What I think is even more important, but perhaps not realisable anymore, is to add some vivid colours (other then red) to the colourscheme of the landscape. It would create a much more alien landscape: A planet with a diverse eco-system with things to discover at every turn...
It might be sufficient to make some fungus now and then yellow or blueish. Perhaps you could correlate the colour of the fungus with the humidity or height of the terrain. A little rotting fungus here, a little dried to a crisp fungus there. Perhaps some sandy terrain somewhere.

Also, I have noticed that the AI let's itself be build in rather easily. I hope this can be fixed.
