I agree with you Freelancer was a great game i still love it and i hope someone does make a Freelancer mod because it would be a great thing sure a little well a lot of Ingenuity would be needed to come up witha  few new shisp but its not hard but someone anyone who is up to make a Freelancer mod go for it you will ahve my Full Support

Just one probleme with freelancer : many fighter/freighter , no heavy-ships (fregats, cruiser, dreadnought, ect...) ;
And SoaSE is a game based on heavy-ships
But i have a lot of idee to create a freelancer mod !

Rhenans for exemple :

Banshee => fighter
Valkyrie => bomber
Gunships => flaka guarda fregate
Torpedo Launcher => Long rang missile fregate / planet bombardement
ect...

torpedo improve : starkiller (2lvl) - sunslayers (2lvl)
Nomad's power : a lvl6 skill for a battleship who can summon a nomad battleship and his fighter

ect...

maybe so fun

I would love to see a Freelancer mod. Ive been waiting for somone to make one for every space rts that has been out since freelancer was. I love the idea of factions based off nationa factions culturaly and asteticaly. DOV looks cool in this way but i realy would love to see freelancer in RTS form. As far as ships you would only need to come up with 3 or 4 for each faction from scratch. the dreadnoughts, destroyers and frigates  (and fighters and bombers) would work just fine. There just never seems to be any enthusiasm to the idea. It would be great if somone like Danman could add them as small factions in 7 deadly sins. Like a freelancer houses united faction with the cap ship of each major house (liberty, kusari, britonia, and rhinland) acting as the cap ships. wouldnt be hard to do i wouldnt think since they ar pretty simple models, save for maby the kusari.
