Need help with modding

This game is amazing, but its sadly restricted

I was toying with the idea of making a mod, it would basically be freelancer but with some added additions (big changes), like being able to purchase large transports, battleships, gunboats and so on. Also the larger ships would have some speed adjustments. Perhaps NPC fleets with fighters and cruisers that would make the game more challenging. Cloaking, a new system, new ships, and changes to travel so it isn't as boring.

This idea is based for mp, imagine a fleet of battleships engaging another fleets with fighters and so on (all players) or transports hauling cargo from system to system. This idea maybe far fetched but I think it is possible. I feel Freelancer lacks the freedom is should have so i want to add it.

Please feel free to add your comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Many of the ideas you are thinking about have already been implemented and are now floating around as tutorials. The only one that hasn't been cracked yet is the cloaking system as decloaking hasn't been figured out yet. Try and crack that one if you can. It would be of great help to the mod community.

Thanks for your input, I'll have a look at the tutorials and i'll lend a hand.
