Hey, a recent game dev grad here.
While I can see a lot of enthusiasm for the mod to go on based on the sheer amount of ideas on paper, I can already tell you that by the time you get to tackling this "full-time" (aka. full spare time if you choose the life of a programmer :)) you'll look at this list and smile.
Also, 3 years is like infinity in solo development time.
I do wish you luck and hope you'll have the patience and determination to make this an awesome title, message me if you need help, I'd be happy to contribute something.
I used to love this mod.
