Just to give you an update on my progress (and to prove that I haven't been twiddling my thumbs doing nothing):
I tried writing-up the Nod character I mentioned, but I ended-up simply not having enough points for everything I needed in order for the character to work as intended. My idea was to take a Mobile Construction Vehicle as an Item, Blueprints for the most basic structures I need to get off the ground, and then enough Theories for me to boot-strap most of the Nod tech-tree. The problem being that I just haven't been able to squeeze all of it into the amount of points I have available. . . and that's without paying for any additional characters.
If you're interested, the Assets I was trying to get (taking my best guesses as to the cost) were:
I'm currently in the process of making another character, this time from Eclipse Phase, and so-far it's going great. I'm deliberately avoiding the really setting-breaking tech, and as such I'm ignoring mind-uploading completely. That said, I'm very tempted to take a Nano-Bot Hive on the grounds that nanoswarms are awesome (they're not self-replicating, so it would only be mostly broken. . . ).

If you're interested, the Assets I was trying to get (taking my best guesses as to the cost) were:
Mobile Construction Vehicle (Item) (-40)
Electronic Video Agent (Item) (-20)
As much Tiberium as possible (Item) ([as many points as I could spare by the end])
Tiberium (Theory) (-30)
Tiberium Refinery (Blueprint) (-10)
Tiberium Harvester (Blueprint) (-10)
Tiberium Power Generator (Blueprint) (-10)
Tech Lab (Blueprint) (-5)
Nod Construction Technology (i.e. Nano-Assemblers*) (Theory) (-100)
Nod Cloaking (Theory) (-60)
Nod Lasers (Theory) (-50)
*of the "can build a main battle tank in minutes" variety
