This is probably the single coolest thing I've seen on Freelancer, so let me start by saying that this would be a frankly awesome project to work on.
That said, I'm a VFX generalist, I got where I am because I watched Star Trek and thought "that look ssooo cool." Years ago. Since then, I haven't stopped thinking that sci-fi looks cool and I haven't stopped watching it. I've modeled starships, set reconstructions, and a whole plethora of small things in the past. Just take a look at my demo reel in my portfolio. There's a starfighter scene there that I had to make and render on a dying laptop, in four weeks of my free time, using the bare minimum to keep my render times down. Working on stills? I can pack in a lot of detail, better meshes, better materials, and better textures, to make things blend perfectly with your surroundings.
Speaking of blending, I'm experienced in a program called Blender. It's a freeware 3D program, and it has a particular advantage for your work. It's cycles render engine works in real-time. You can load your shot into the program, and it'll let you adjust the lighting and show you the result as you work. As it is free, I could share the project file with you, and we could both adjust the lighting, or the camera, or anything else, with ease.
I have more I could say. I could write you a 50,000 page essay on sci fi and what I'd do for your project, but I get only 1500 words. If my excitement, or my offer interests you, feel free to contact me.
