well you are exactly right,
no one is really interested that much in EF any more,
so they dont have any major mods or add on coming out
and not very much is happening with EF2
even if they were to have someone come back and add on things like your walking around out side of the ship map,
it would be very polygon heavy.
the models on websites such as this are meant for animation, not gaming
how ever i do think that your idea is a very interesting one
maybe you could try posting it at EFfiles forums
because someone there may beable to give you better help with gaming things
instead of help from people who know more about animation things
