I've been modding ships into freelancer for awhile now and I find it inticing to make a freelancer mod of Privateer. But being the self cynical guy I am I figured that somebody somewhere may have already started such a project, and figured this would be the best area to check out. And lo and behold, I run a search, and find a couple threads upon the topic, but all of which are quite old, stagnent, and dead. So I am wondering whatever, happened to those projects?
These were the thread I dug up in a search
http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=7127&page=4&pp=20&highlight=freelancer
and this page

though from what I've seen, these were more atkin to swapping some new ships in replacing a couple of freelancer one, rather then a complete remake of Privateer, aka wipe all the old systems, planets, and ships and remake the privateer world in a Freelancer engine. I also understand the time consumption such a task would involve, as well as some slight source code limitations brought on by freelancer to completely remake the original privateer. But a facimile can still be made to a great extent and would be awesome to behold.
But anyways, whatever did happen to those projects?
