I'd love to see something like that as well, but it has been discussed before - and as it is now (if I remember the discussion correctly) the different factions are nowhere near balanced, and where not intended to be balanced - each faction is stronger than the other - so the enemies (in single player campaign) get more difficult the further you get in the campaign.
Since the game uses different stats files for single player and multiplayer I guess it should be possible to change, but I guess the tech tree would have to be rewritten.

It would be nice to have different factions and stuff. But, as it was stated before, that would cause imbalances. I would rather have an all equal type of “race.” as it stands now, the only way you can get different factions, is by changing to different colors.
Sure, you wont get any walls that look different, but that does not mean someone can make a mod that allows for players to chose if they want a NewParedigm HQ, or a Project HQ. being able to build both would waist a lot of space in the building menu, as there would also be the nexus, and Project walls, and towers.
So the real solution would be to chose a faction before the game starts. Of course, every thing as far as stats should be the same, only textures and meshes would probably be any different. Just to give the player a feel of pride of having controlling his/her favorite faction.
