An idea, but I'm not sure how many people would want this

[SWAHILI!!!]

Okay, not sure how many people would want this, but, heregoes:

I was looking at the X-Fleet mod homepage for X3, and I saw a few ships that I think would be SO much fun to fly in X2.
Not sure if anyone else would want to, but I think it'd be really fun to fly in modern-day fighter planes and stuff.
There are a few screenshots of ships that would be doable in X2 here:

A possible TP ship?





And maybe a possible M3 or M5?



So what do you think?
It's all up to you modding people.

i think thats a great idea.... because the ships with transparency windows are empty and you cant see there any pilot or stuff like hud or something

Well, for my taste, these ships just don't look like spacecrafts, these are airplanes (but without the air).

The cockpits sure look good.

That's another issue, isn't it?
Adding a pilot and the other stuff means a lot of work, and more polygons to render. I think it's okay to have empty cockpits. But if you think there's something missing, I'd say we should remove the transparent windows. I don't want to have a full featured cockpit with a bad performance of the game.

Just a personal opinion here but I agree with Chris Gi, I think the X-Universe needs to stay with it's own history, cultures and technology. However cool these other aircraft look, I wouldn't want to see them in the X games. I can understand how other people would want to see Star Wars Mods and BSG mods but I think for me, it would completely ruin the feeling that you are in a distinct universe if Galactica, an Imperial Destroyer or an F-117 Nighthawk appeared in the game.
