This is an idea for a very epic mod/continuation of freespace. if the mod is created it will need-
       new ships (fighters,  bombers, corvettes ect)
       new weapons
       EPIC music (i can handle that)
       lots of missions
       a story line just as engaging as blue planet

Have you... tried doing stuff yourself? It would probably produce more results. And be quicker.

Analysis: New ships can be found on FSMods, or you can make them yourself. You've already got a lot of new features implemented by SCP. Music you can handle, as you said. Darius has written and FREDed BP1 by himself. Conclusion: you don't need lots of people.
Statement: Looking forward to your campaign.

Sorry man, I'm just gonna recommend you to do what I recommend everyone else asking for the same.
Don't start your own mod, join an already in progress one.

Define "a full mod". If you want to make a new standalone game, my advice would be not to do that. Building a total conversion is hard and tedious work; the fact that only one has been released so far, with two others still being work-in-progress, all of them made by rather large and competent teams should be a testament to the amount of work required.

And honestly, given that your initial post seems to indicate that you have none of the required skills to adequately lead such an effort (Because a rudimentary understanding of all the basics of FSO modding is required, not to mention knowledge of storytelling and mission and campaign design), the question would be what exactly you can bring to the table. "Epic Music" can be lots of stuff, from self-composed music to being a very capable searcher on youtube.

EDIT: The problem is, you are very new. You have no reputation here, we have no idea what your skills are. Before starting off on a venture that will take months or years to get to a playable state, you should maybe try to complete a smaller-scale project, like a simple campaign or something like that. As far as we are concerned, you are trying to sprint before you have demonstrated your ability to crawl; showing that there you can provide some substance to your plans is a necessary first step.

It will be as involved as blue planet, for example, a new menu will be used.

Of all the things from BP that you could have picked to show how involved a mod it is... the menu is not one. Make a menu like one of these and THEN I'll consider it "involved"...

No. Learn to do everything yourself.
You do not need Lots of People.

ONE MAN ARMY. ARMY OF ONE.

If you're not willing to become such a thing, don't even bother trying to do this. BP's first release was created entirely by a single person.

Asking for help before you start is a good way of telling everyone you're going to fail. Everyone and their mom has "the most epic campaign ever" in their heads. get off your ass and make it happen yourself, or give up.

My two cents.

Teams are overrated. They do stupid things.
All you need is yourself, and a bunch of dedicated Mind Slaves Beta Testers. Do not, under any circumstance, ask the Beta Testers for suggestions. Just tell them to find bugs. They will suggest things like MORE BEAMS, and LETS BE FRIENDS.

If you're lucky, it's like herding cats. If you're not lucky, it's still like herding cats, except nobody has any idea who the cats are and who the herder is.

If you still want a team, try PMing QueenHolley and xX_LORD_ULTRA_DEATH_Xx. Neither of them post often these days, but they've both shown interest in making a campaign like this and they've demonstrated that they can get missions out the door.

Actually, making a standalone game is pretty possible with assets that are already available. I've made several modpacks which could be used as standalone.
In fact, I'm kind of working on a TC, though might have picked up a wrong franchise to base it on. It'll most likely never see the light of the day, but the modpack is pretty much working.

If i finish mine before you do (I probably won't because your one of THE best modders on hardlight) don't say i stole your idea, because i just was thinking about mods one day and a name and a story line came to me.

what i meant to say is that almost every modder gets such an idea. come up with an epic plan of action, but fail to realize how much work it entails. many of them find a place on some mod team or whore out their talents to whoever can use them. im one of those obsessive compulsive types that has to have it perfect and wont trust the job to anyone but me. tried forming a team, but the "does not play well with others" stamp in my psyche profile seems to get in the way. just do a lot of cocaine and meth and im sure you will have it done just before you die of a heart attack. :D

start small and work your way up. a ship and some weapons, release, get some critique in. make a few more, and so on. pretty soon you will be up to your eyeballs in art assets.

There is such a mod; it's called Inferno. :p

       and anyone who wants to be on the team (modlers, programers, ect)
Would anyone like to help?

The Inferno team is made up of ~5 core members and ~250 magical lemmings.  I can lend you some of the latter if you need help. ;)
