Freelancer as a TTRPG - Looking for suggestions

[bombstrap]

Freelancer would make a fantastic TTRPG setting and I'd be curious to know if anyone has played in or GM'd a game. If so, what system did you use to run it? Otherwise, is there a system you might recommend for a Freelancer TTRPG?

As an aside, I've done some reading on GURPS and feel like some scifi variant could work, though I'm hesitant to design something custom given the complexity and effort required to create a well balanced, enjoyable ruleset. IMO the biggest hill to climb is balanced, engaging combat - variables like ship speed, size, health, equipment, ect could be hard to manage without getting bogged down in crunch. In the absence of an existing rule set, and if others are interested in building a Freelancer TTRPG system, I'd be down to turn this into a community project.

Would love to know your thoughts/suggestions!
