Yeah, I've thought about that but call it stubbornism that I'm going this route (as a hobby). I was actually looking at Freelancer modding a few years back since I like that universe. So, what I think I'm going to do is break that game open a bit and use it as a guide (both artistically and mechanically). Since its so old I also might be able to "steal" parts from it as well, with some twists (not using wormholes or warpgate to go between areas, using docking, and basics for ship cameras/turrets and UIs for example). I've already downloaded a few textures from it and I've looked for the skyboxes since I personally think they are some of the best space skyboxes out there.
