What factions do/will we have?
I know we have:
RDF
Zentraedi
Malcontents
Upcoming:
Robotech Masters
Armies of the Southern Cross
Regis' Invid
REF
Some I seem to remember but don't know if they will be in the game:
Sentinels
Regents Invid
EBSIS
Am I missing anybody?

Regents Invid would be near identical to Regess Invid (Regent has soldiers, scouts/armoured scouts and troopers/shock troopers. Add in Royal Scouts and Royal Soldiers. Remove Enforcer, Royal Command and Overlord)
EBSIS will not see the light of day. It was a Palladium creation in the 1st ed RPG that was never in Robotech. Sentinels would effectively be REF but with maybe some alien pilot characters.
Now if you want to do house "factions" and include EBSIS then you could include the Merchant Republic as well as certain rogue Zentraedi/Masters Factions from the old 1st ed RPG books too. Then there is the possibility of Disciples of Zor. And Don't forget the Haydonites.

Besides REF, there should also be freedom fighters against the Invid.

I think that would just be a variation on the malcontents and allow the use of Macross, Southern Cross, REF, Zentraedi, and Masters Mecha in the same army.  |

There were several alien types in the Sentinels, which if I remember correctly had a couple Haydonites with them. After the Invid are defeated(?) they turn on the REF. At least that is what it seems like to me. |

I fourth faction for the Zentraedi/RDF group would be nice. The two are seen fighting side by side later in the series when they go and raid the Zentraedi manufacturing base. I image they'd have similar grouping to Malcontents, but with a different faction ability perhaps.

The problem is that it is just another hodgepodge faction that would boil down to the faction of choice for competitive players since they would have the best of everything. |

I wonder if the United Earth Defense Force should have a post war version. Some of the units shouldn't be allowed at certain points, like if we were playing an invasion scenario where the Zentraedi player was attack Maccross Island, Shouldn't have a VF-1R allowed, amongst other units.
