From personal experience, I can tell you that you're not likely to get very far with recruiting mod team members unless you give a lot more info. At a minimum telling people what mod this might be. Giving something to back up that you can handle "scripting" the project as well as your dedication to the project also go a long ways.

Um...

You missed the minimum.  Basically, if it's someone else's IP, say Star Trek, you list it, giving the context of what you're after(we've got a canon oriented Trek mod, and an Armada oriented mod, for instance) so fans of what you're using will know to be interested.  If it's your own, or a little known IP, you've got to paint your own picture for the crowd.  Pretty pictures of ships and back stories, that sort of thing.

Well we have a Freelancer mod (Sins of the Series Sector) and Myfist0 from this forum was working on a Homeworld mod (I assume it is in development hell). I don't have either game so I can't tell you how to do it, but I'm pretty sure the Homeworld models at least were direct conversions. So that's probably possible.

That said, with even the best model converter, you still have to make 2 textures and add hard points manually for Sins. I'm a programmer not an artist myself, but over the years I've gotten good enough with image and model editors to take a base mesh and texture and do all the other required work to get a model into Sins.

Best of luck!

Well, regardless, I would still like to do this mod. If someone is willing to teach me how to set up the models to be converted, I could do it on my own. But I know that's asking a lot. I would like to be able to watch a youtube video on it but I haven't found very good videos covering that.

And here is the video!
