I've always thought it would be AMAZING to somehow mod an online fps to play side by side Freelancer. I don't know the first thing about modding though, so blah.
Wasn't that Mace Griffin game sorta like that? Space and ground combat? Never played it.
Oddly enough, Ironwatsas was in the mood for something like this, too. There are a lot of neat maps and we could use currently existing player models for characters. The real fun would be having a city set up that and swap about every now and then. Factions can 'borrow' the server for their own planned roleplays.
