i need guidence...

i havew been playing freelancer constantly for months now. i have played a few mods.

TNG - but i didnt like the arena style layout of the modifications (fantastic ships though!!!)

TEKS - lots of nice new ships (love the whitestar!) but ive been finding it hard to have intense encounters (i know that all i have to do is make someone angry at me but its not what i remember freelancer to be like)

FrontierSpace - LOVE IT! lots of nice ships (Shame theres no star trek ships that i found). I liked the secret quest to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I liked the way the new star systems are layed out and the variety of distractions from place to place... especially the lucifer system.


basically, i've played the original and the above 3 mods to death (ive probably not found everything in game but i got board of them after awhile). i need people to point me in the direction of any mods that reach the following criteria:-

- clear expanded star system count.
- LOTS of new playable ships (inc star trek, babylon 5, andomeda, starwars, Space Above and beyond, wing commander games and movie, Elite games, Starship troopers, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica new and old, Home world games) --- all not nesicary)
- Increased Cruise Speeds that works with the game. (ive noticed that 3000 shoots you passed any enemy ship encounters.
- Im sorry to say this but a hate how enemy ships regenerate they're damage so quickly in crossfire and that it takes me atleast --- forever!! to destroy even one craft. so i would prefer a more easier kill.
- less of the same ship models with different textures but unique models altogether.
- new equipment loadouts.
- wrecks.
- storylines and quests such as in frontierspace.
- uber enemies such as vorlons, borg, shadows, nomads, Nechians and magogs(from andromeda), thargons.
- lots and lots of nice little secrets packed away in unexpected corners of unexpected places.
- big and little ships able to traverse through asteroid fields without travelling backwords more than forwards.
- single and multiplayable (preferably single)
- some people hate you right from the get go.
- realistic authorities and empire layout (eg: federation v. imperials in frontierspace and ships claiming some of your cargo.


--- i dont suppose theres a mod out there that has about 50% + of what ive stated above?

In the Discovery Mod you can set the like or dislike factions -- you can begin with everybody just not liking you -- discovery is a enhanced basic freelancer nice systems but nothing like frontier

the monkey universe is neat also good music and interesting systems and alittle more diverse ships and other elements

Crossfire should be what you want combat wise the nomads and the dom kavash are very aggressive -- 20 nomads respawning 2 min later i thought was vicious but i handled them -- and im not the greatest combat pilot -- more a trader explorer

Each mod has its own flavour I personally would love to see a "Combination Mod"

The aggressive AI and dynamic economy of Crossfire -- the music and nomad systems of Monkey Universe -- the ships and weapons and Big systems of Tekagi -- and The sheer Map Diversity of Frontier Space Combined together

This I think would get you to Freelancer 2 or somewhere close
