How much fantasy can people take?

I can only answer for myself and those answers would be - Not a lot. Or if it's there, then there's a plausible rationale behind it and/or they way it operates in game and story.

  How much grim dark?

As little as possible - it's called 'escapism' for a reason

 

Which perspective on the faction should be written, neutral 3rd party omniscient narrator, a positive spin from their own faction or a negative approach from a rival?  Should there by mysteries?

 There's room for both forms of perspective as each write-up should include the viewpoint of events from each faction's side as well as a simple neutral historical narrative as well. Some mysteries are also welcome, as to create possible gaps fro future story-lines and scenarios without elaborate retconning.

I agree

The historical evidence suggests that waged workers were more effective doing manual labour than slaves.  As handwaves go it is supported by historical example.

Agreed


Regarding military organizations
I want enough to build a fluffy force

Yes
Alternate history due to introduction of new technology but retain the core basis for each nation, ie why a Frenchman remains a Frenchman.

I say starter set with cardboard cutouts so it can be played like a board game. These sets can be in toy stores or bookstores.
Have model sets starter fleets available for local hobby shops; every thing else online.

Drawings are concept art, like some concept cars
Renders are preproduction, before manufacturing tunings

Allow a “convoy squadron “ of x# tier 3 models and y # of freighters
The squadron has the dr/cr of the tier 3
Attacks against the squadron applies each hits multiple above cr as freighters destroyed, as long as there are tier 3 left that is
