Has anyone thought about a Privateer mod?

Has anyone thought about a Privateer mod?

Sorry if anyone has ever thought up this one before, but I was just wondering if anyone has ever thought about creating the ships from Privateer for use as a mod in Freelancer? Privateer was a classic, and I would love to see those ships again in this game.

My ideas for the ships could be this:

The Tarsus: The basic freighter, with four weapon slots, a small-medium sized cargo hold and not much else really...

The Orion: A small heavy fighter with very large shields and armour, a decent cargo hold as well as a rear turret, although turns rather slowly and only has 3 weapon slots

The Galaxy: A massive frieghter with 4 weapon slots, and 2 turrets, one at the top, one at the bottom (though I think we could change this to four turrets for Freelancer, unless that's too much...), and a huge cargo capacity, but being a freighter is the slowest in maneuverability and is only slightly faster than a Tarsus.

The Centurion: Very Heavy Fighter that is very fast and very maneuverable (although big), has 6 weapon slots and a rear turret. Only weakness is that it is slightly under-armoured, as well as having limited cargo...

What do you think?

hey,

I have seen this thread before, but it's an excellent idea. I also posted about the possibility of releasing privateer fighters.

Oh, btw, I posted a thread about ship mod's we would like to see done. I would encourage you to add you're input to it. I created the thread in the mod announcement forum. Please support the movement!! Thx
