well, a reason why we are not doing the mod is allready in your post.
another one is that not everybody likes I-War 2 and it's gameplay.

Although I loved I-War 2 the multiplayer component was seriously lacking. FreeLancer has much better potential there.

Yes and Babylon 5 doesnt have a game (not that i know of) and dang it, it needs one. So until that time mods will have to

P.S. i have played the B5 mod to ST: Armada and it was pretty cool you could play as:
Earth Alliance (some shadow things)
Independent something (dont know been awile since ive watched the show and played the mod)
Membari (they get Vorlon stuff)
and Shadows (they get Drahk stuff)

Freelancer DOES have newtinian physics, they just are extreamly muted in game. hit Z while flying, tada, physics! or try increasing your mass in the inis to about 500x what it is normally.

Also, there are a number of mods for B5.

Freespace 2 has one
