Just an idea (had I any sort of idea on how to model, skin, and script I'd do this).
Has anyone ever read the Dark Wing Series by Walter Hunt? (I have mine signed by him!

) I honestly think that if someone were to turn this series (or just the first one) into a mod, it would pwn.
Dark Wing Summary:
The zor is just one of the alien races that humanity encounters when it
travels to the stars, and from the very first meeting it has been
all-out war. For many years the conflicts have been sporadic, usually
ending with an Earth concession and a treaty. But the zor does not
respect mankind and has no any intention of honoring the agreements.
When the zor decide to mount a surprise attack against human colonies,
the normally self-absorbed government of Earth realizes that something
must be done before it is too late.
A controversial scholar by
the name of Marais is brought in. A nonmilitary man, he has spent his
entire life studying the zor and claims to have a plan to deal with
them once and for all. With so few options remaining, Marais is put in
charge of the battlefleet.
Earth just wants the threat
neutralized and would be happy with a stalemate, but Marais has other
ideas. He believes himself to be the mythic Dark Wing, destined to
exterminate the zor. . . .
