Replaying Freespace..........

I got sick of my current games and decided to reload Freelancer for
another go and it still strikes me as a VERY cool game. After I
finished it the first time I went onto EVE online. At the time EVE was
a pretty cool game, but as I play FL again I realize that it has a lot
of stuff that I'd like to see in an online game. With some tweaking it
could easily become a subscription based online game.

Till then, I guess I'll be trying some of the free servers out there
if there still are any and was wondering about popular mods and
popular servers.
The stuff I'd mostly like to see addressed would be the fact that all
ships go at the same speed. You'd think that light fighters would be
slightly faster than heavy fighters which would be faster than
freighters.
I'm also not too keen on how there's no real downside to mounting the
biggest weapons you can afford. Big guns should take a lot to fit and
take a lot of power to fire and nomad weapons are just stupidly
overpowered.
The scaling of the game bugs me quite a bit too. If the ships were
MUCH smaller (1% to 10% of their current size) and distances displayed
were changed it would help a lot with believability.

Any mods that address any of these issues? Are there any servers that
are recommmended that run a lot (if not 24/7) that are recommended for
playing on?
