1, Set the vanilla ship and item prices to be balanced with the CF ship and item prices. For example, an Eagle is still 500K, while a CF VHF is 8 million+.
2, Freelancer had one aspect because of I wasn't able to enjoy multiplayer: Eagles. The Eagle rendered all of the other HF ships useless with it's insane agility. If I wanted to achieve anything, I had to fly and Eagle
while I simply "hated" it's look, and the fact, that Freelancer
Multiplayer was limited only to Eagles... (My favourite "skin" is the Sabre, but I like the Titan too. Poor Hammerhead
didn't even had a chance because of it's broken stats...) If you would
change the stats of the 4 vanilla VHF to the same (Sabre has to loose
it's forward-point turret), the other three ship could have a chance to
be used.
If you allow me I would like to make a few more suggestions:
(in addition the ones in my earlier post)

3, A missions system with wider level range. For example, you should be able to do high level missions (like in Omicron Gamma and Dublin) in almost any vanilla system (original and High level missions would be present in the same time). I will be sincere. I tried recently a mod with this feature, but I wasn't able to play it, because of I am now officially addicted with the CF High-Resolution System Backgrounds:D Sometimes I simply turn off the engine and watching the environment. With the original mission system I was "locked" into the Omicron System and Dublin, and couldn't enjoy the other systems.
4, Make VHF version from the vanilla heavy fighters (4 great houses + Order. But Liberty/Kusai VHF are already present as CF ships. It would benefit the high level mission in point 3 as "enemy ships" if you are a pirate, also a Volkayre VHF would be awesome
)
5, As I suggested already Balance the vanilla ship pricing to CF, also furthermore balance the items but trade goods (weapons, shields, etc) to the CF prices (Shield upgrade 9 million, but shield is 300K, etc. Yes, I know it would be a lot of work :/)
6, It's more like a question: will CF 2.0 support Direct X 10/10.1 too? (I think many of us doesn't own DX 11 graphics car
)
7, Using the tractor beam should disable shields (like the jettison).
