I'm New, always loved FL but it makes me kind of bored the way a liberty Heavy Fighter cant Cope with a Rheinland because of its powercores. armor and weapon class, i would love to se a rebalance of ships, and some shis similar designed (like a pirate VHF, a Bounty Hunter Freighter, a Corsair Freighter, Bret VHF, Kusari VHF, the Liberty already have a good one, and so ...civilian freighters and some buff on starblazer (more manouverabilty, but less firepower and cargol than eagle so our dear xenos and Gaians can have some fun too) cargo sizes that are compatible with the ship size and maneuverability
Power cores upgrades are already avaliabe, with a little editing it can be made to make a defender fight hand to hand with a valkyrie or maybe you can finish the game using only your Starflyer why not: it would add some degree of freedom
maybe ship upgrade kits to level it to it's similars
i would participate in this modding and calculate, beta test and everything
i'm very good with maths and this month i will get some 3d model classes
