I was never a big fan of wing commander personally.
I would be interested in seeing perhaps a Freelancer or Homeworld conversion.
Would you make an actual mod, or would it be easier and more time efficient to use Twilights tools and tech tree etc, to simly make balanced race and ship packs?
Either way, you are one busy modder Foxthree, and get massive respect for the commitment you give. I'm sure that the mod will be great too.
