Idea for a possible mod.

SO, a while ago i picked up x3:tc... (which is a first person fighter sim) and i just suddenly realized that it might work really well for a sins total conversion mod.

I mean, almost no thought would be involved... the units are almost a perfect 1:1 corrispondance.

Fighter drone MK1: Small fast, weak, easily replaceable   : Fighter

Fighter drone MK2: Slightly slower, better weapon            : bomber

m5(+): very fast, weak scout ship                                      : Scout, (LF)

m4(+): Fast, standard ship with light weapons                     : LRM, (support 1)

m3(+): Slow, heavy fighter, with wide range of weapon choices, has turrets : support 2, (Flack)

M6:   Corvette, slow, beefy cruiser with some turrets      :  Heavy cruiser

M8:   Bomber.  Fires massive, unguided torpedos.        : Anti-structure/anti-capital ship

M7:    Frig      Fast, light capital ship                            : Support cap ship

M7M:  Missile Frig, Light, weak, long range capital ship    :Seige/marza-like

M2:   Battle ship. Big. Slow. Incredibly beefy.                 :battle ship

M1:   Carrier       Bigger, slower, not quite as beefy.        :carrier cap

TS:  Transport small:  Rarely armed, support ship.          : civilian ship

TM:  Transport Military: Light carrier.  rarely armed            : Carrier cruiser

TL:  Transport Large: Building constructor, decent weapons     :starbase con/colony capital

Ok, maybe not. but they ARE close.

More importanty, they have TONS of ship models... though i have no idea how compatible they would be.

Many factions too.

Argon.  (hummies, long cut off from earth have rebuilt from the ground up.)

Boron.  (squidies, with slow, decently shielded ships, with disabling weapons that can take out shields easily, but weak vs hull)

Telidi.  Obsessssed with profitsss.  The slowest faction, with large, easy to hit ships, but generally well armed, armored and well shielded.

Parinid: Religious, high tech faction. Generally fast ships, generally well rounded ships. generally expensive ships.

Split: Fast, ships that trade most of their shielding and armor for lots firepower.

Terrans: Recently reconnected to the gate system, they are technologicly advanced, with the best ships in the game. Unfamilarity with the gate system, however, means they have a poor economy.

Pirates: Pirates!

I dont know.  Just thought it might be intresting.  I am not a modder, but a total conversion might be intresting.
