Weapons and stuff you can do yourself. But searching for uvmapper/texturer/modeller... You wish to find any. Most of them are busy already with their stuff or other projects. Maybe you can get a bit more of attention if you post plot synospis or screenshots. But with post like that... Good luck as Galemp said :P
I'd suggest instead to join already excisting projecy and contribute in FREDding or other thing that you're skilled in. For example The Apocalypse Project surely would hire skilled FREDder.
By weapons do you mean effects or tbl edits? (Tbl edits are rediculusly easy, so you could likely do those yourself.) I could make an effect or two, but (as the ToT team knows) I take my sweet time to build up the ambition to make them. :P
[We need a whole bunch of new weapons (0 canon because of... oops, I almost said too much :P) and totally new ships.As much as I don't want to ruin your spirit, don't you think this is a bit too ambitious for your first project? You could easily just find interesting ships (and even weapon effects) from FreeSpaceMods and use them. Not to mention the fact that since many capable modellers are already working on projects, it will be difficult to convince even one of them to start working from scratch on yet another project.
