"yes, espesialy as the Miths SCREWED UP THE ORIGINAL game... and made some stupid nexus, it was supose to be IG3  "
Wasn't it the other way around? Thought the game was originally going to be what it's like now, then the publisher was trying to shape it into IG game so it'd sell better, and after they lost interest in the whole deal the devs went back to their original design... o.O

Shrug.
Fact remains..
HW2 was built in 11 months. While it has a powerful programatic approach to a lot of things, what you can actually DO with the engine is limited and it is overly complex to work with in a lot of places (such as models).
Nexus is, perhaps, less immediately approachable but there is a LOT more depth to it, and once you're familar with it you will be able to do more interesting mods for less effort than a HW2 mod would require.

Can I take it from this discussion that any of you are willing to help? Once the team is assembled we will consider alternate games to use.

I won't help if it's for HW2
Nexus, I'd consider.
Sorry, but it's that way round for me because of some of the Relic dev's attitudes and actions

Wouldn't be a proper HW2 mod unless you add a "Pod Pilot" resource. I mean, we all know that getting the ships isn't the problem in EVE, it's getting the pilots...

I would consider to use Nexus:TJI too for its easy mod-ability, but on the other hand has HW2 a vast modding community, which helps cause its not easy to mod, as others have already pointed out.
Btw are you going to re-build EVE ships from scratch or are you trying to extract them from the .res files? I wouldnŠt bother with the last one, cause it seems the actuall models are hard coded into the engine after they have been build (i think they made them with maya, the files are in the .res files, but there is no way to open them) and imho there is no way to extract them without knowing the source code for the engine.
You have however access to the textures...

Nexus would make a FAR more visualy pleasing mod base but like the man said you will get more help from HW2 moders.
OO and the ship models are technicaly part of the eve copyright so you may wan't to atleast ask the devs if they don't mind you converting them aslong as you atribute the models to the eve developers.

I played the Nexus demo and turned it off after 5 minutes. How can you release a demo without tutorial and such a crappy interface..?
Same here.
However i'd be prepared to help out with the coding.

I remember HW2 being extremely hard to mod. It took Typo weeks to make his Ex mod, and that was using only ships/models in the SP and moving them to MP.

I admit I am a bit intrigued
I wouldn't be able to code much(currently doing my first year in Comp. Science here in Iceland) but graphics I could probably do.
check out my site if you want to see what I can and can't do

Ah so it's you 
One question about your name. I've read some books by R.A. Salvatore about the dark elf Drizzt. In them there is a dark elf madam that is named Baenre (if I'm not mistaken  ) is that where you got your name?

HW2-EVE sounds good... Nexus wouldnt be as fun. u cant build ships ur just given a bunch of ships to command at the start.. thats kinda boring imo. BTW nexus actually started out as IG3 got changed into Galaxy andromeda, then got canceled. Mithis then bought all the Galaxy Andromeda stuff and made Nexus out of it.. kinda sucks i would rather have seen a Imperium Galactica 3.
I think it would also be cool to make a Homeworld 2 to eve t:C with multiplayer capablities, i have modding experiance for HW and HW:C but not for HW2, but as far as the tools go it actually seems easier compared to modding HW and HW:C.
who knows if this mod actually gets going for HW2 it might bring back some glory to the game. :D
