Vanilla would suit you?
Whatever would suit me if there is many roleplayers. Even if there is no Freelancer at all, I wouldn't mind playing it as forum-based RPG.
Space dungeons and dragons?
Honestly this mod is great but I find its small, and that the size of the 'universe' could have been bigger. I know most people think that the more area would spread players out too much, but I also feel that the reason why thousands are playing Eve and hundreds are playing disco is because of the sizes of the games in comparison.
Perfect? Would be if every system in the game used its volume and actually contained 2-3 star systems, spaced out by about 300k each, making you cruise from one to the other, very spaced out jumpholes, possible extremely long trade lanes between them (maybe giving rise to midway stations). Then just make an in system only JD, available to most ships above freighters, practical for in system travel, but a money sink like it is now.
Bam, turn the current mod into a way larger game without actually having to change the layout. Just add more to the existing systems. In-system jumpholes would also allow closing the gap on long distance in-system flight, information that would be come quite valuable to sell to traders and smugglers!
Don't get me wrong, I know it would be a lot of work, wish I had the knowledge to do it. I suppose, that would spice it up, if not make it 'perfect' environment wise to me.
