A fantasy mod

I've always wanted to have a mod that combines freelancer with a FPS when you are on the planets. I've never settled on a FPS that i would want it to be, but i would think that it should be something older, with low requiremetnts, and easily mapable, because i assume that it would have to be running at the same time as FL in the background, and i would want to make maps of the docking areas and bars and what not. and also a big city map for each of the larger worlds where you would run around tracking down bounties and such. Star Wars: KOTR comes to mind, just because of the feel of the game, but it's too new and with high system requirements. the first Quake also comes to mind, because it's older and its opensource.
i really dont know if this would be possible, two graphics engines running in the same game, i'm really more of a hardware man myself, and the coding of software more or less baffles me. and i'm kinda drunk as i type this.
so what do you all think? what would you want to see in a mod like this?
maybe if i ever get off my rum binge i'll find the time to gather the resources to start something like this.

Some how making a system a Giant planet, with only a cockpit view, modified, and only a certain gun for your ship....It sounds impossible to me but hey you never know.

no, i'm talking about an entirely diffrent game integrated into freelancer.
let say you land at planet mahattan, and then the other game (a fps) loads with a custom map made to represent manhattan and you hop out of your ship and walk over to the bar. the bar from from freelancer loads and you accecpt a custom mission to track down a bounty on the planet. you leave the bar and the fps loads and you walk down the street with pedestrians walking by and ships flying overhead. you find the place where the bounty is supposed to be and you kill his cronies and you capture him and you get the bounty.
and stuff. i'm even drunker than when i posted before, so i dont remember where i was going with that.
cheers!
