Some great ideas here: http://norefuge.net/vgng/vgng.html 
Is it an idea for a mod? You could post it in the mapping forum or in the relevant UE game forum... or off topic if you're feeling brave

IMO dude, gather your ideas, maybe some artwork and such and if you have musical samplings to listen to as well? register at http://moddb.com then come back here and hit the recruitment section of the forums here to seek partners and team members.
Ok, Here's My Idea, You know about Halo and that they are pushing out so many games, I haven't seen many New Unreal series games (Unreal Tournament 3 is New-ish but still great).
Anyway, I was thinking of continuing the story of John Dalton of the TCA but with more depth to the story, A more engaging script, and Updated to Unreal Engine 3.
So far I've come up with some "Concept Art" like Ships, HUD (HUD a little sketchy) and a few armour designs (Still trying to see which new armour would work).
In Single Player and Multiplayer you can have customizable armour ( Like you could wear the original Phoenix armour, The Phoenix mark IV, Phoenix ADVON [Equal to Bungie's Recon but wearable in campaign and Multiplayer and available to a select few every week] and I don't know about any other armours,
) and your armour would, in some cases (Depending on wether you have Mark III or Mark IV), regenerate Health and sheilding gradually, One topup is all you need and it's at the start of the game.
Also I was thinking Maps, I came up with a couple of map ideas (DM-Deck15, DM-Refractal, CTF/DM-Terminal, CTF-Orbital 3).

Ok, go ahead making some maps and writing some code, then maybe someone will join you if they feel your mod has potential.
It's going to be an actual game, Not a mod...
And Not UE 3, UE2.5 (The one that powered UC2: LC)

UC2: LC was powered not by UE2,5 but by UE2X - see http://www.unrealtechnology.com/features.php?ref=past-versions
I really should learn to read, I could have sworn that The Liandri Archives said it was Uengine 2.5.. Ah well!
Need a little help with Music, I know about Altered Atmosphere, but I wanted to have an Orchestral Version and after the Big start just after the first electric guitar bit, I'd like it to then blend into the U: RTNP starting theme.
Also, Sorry to annoy Major Unreal Purists but I was thinking of bringing a twist to the story. I'll just tell you a rough outline, A ship that was used in a certain RTS based on a game made by Bungie will make a major appearance and take a major role in the game.
The first level will have you (John Dalton) being picked up having floated for years. The escape pod Cryogenically froze you as you were at the end of U2, The name of the ship is the TCA Polomite (The scene is reminicent of U: RTNP). You are given a tour of the ship, They say it's the new TCA Flagship (Really a Cargo ship that has been refitted as a cruiser)
Just as you get to the Bridge, there is a loud bang and the whole ship shudders, you get to meet the captain who tells you that they are now abandoning ship, The ships AI appears out of nowhere, Looking exactly like Aida but with a (Real, Not the Serina accent) Brit accent, She tells the captain that the Skarrj are attacking the ship and Central Cooling core 2 has been destroyed, The captain Orders an Immediate Evac of the ship.
The AI says to John that The ship is being overrun by Skarrj and that he must destroy the ship to prevent important technologies from being taken by the skarrj. You ask How, She says that you must overload Central Cooling Core 2 that would lead to a major destablisation of the core, and that after that, depending on the game difficulty, will blow in a cirtain amount of time (Eg. If easy, 6 mins.) and that you should take a dropship/Escape pod/Space fighter off the ship. and that (If Dropship/Space fighter) it is in Cargo Bay 3/4.
After you destablize the core, You take a Hellbender to the very far end of te ship (4 KM through tight turns and you have to turn around a couple of times) and take a Pheonix / Raptor off the ship. As you escape the ship, You look back at the ship, You see it explode, and you then pilot your Pheonix/Raptor back down to earth.

I don't think that is good idea (it sounds way too un-unreal and cliched), if continuing Unreal 2 story, then possibly bring some cut stuff from game and bring back the races such as shian, N and striders and other old enemy variants which were also cut.
Besides there was sure planned some continuation, there have been even hint by Cliff Bleszinsky that Aida might have survived it.
There could be story flashbacks to her past etc and also Dalton might face a court or something because of destroying the ship and there could be someone who escaped the ship, the dorian gray, at all some escape pods were missing and it was prolly not only escape pod room.
I had idea of bringing strider wars into play too, possibly someone could create a spinoff called Unreal: Strider Wars. With a FPS gameplay mixed with fast paced explosive RTS (something like state of war perhaps) or its elements. (and no I don't have the idea from Halo Wars or how it is called, I don't care about halo stuff and I had this idea long ago of making Unreal world into RTS, since the series has a lot of background and would make a load of races and buildings and vehicles)
Other possibility to make a game or even movie based on unreal championship or UT2003 background (I said this already in other thread, dunno how I said it then, I don't remember much) would be making the storyline centered around a reject who has problems with corrupted leadership on one possibly Liandri ship and is forced to leave ship or something like that and then land on a Gen mo kai planet where he would learn something about their background and maybe allying some of them and then he would see the empire taking over the earth.

I personally think an Unreal RTS game would be a good idea too!
Also, I find it nice to see that you made the link with Halo Wars' "Spirit of Fire", But the Reject on a Liandri ship idea might be a good idea for an expansion of the story,showing that the TCA are not the only ones who go out to planets and try to make peace. I could have sworn that the Gen-Mokai home planet was attacked and taken over by the Skaarj,and the Gen-Mokai were slaves for the Skaarj.
But how could Aida survive, Is she the Sgt. Johnson of Unreal 2? The Atlantis took a direcdt hit to the crew compartment, It was destroyed! I miss Aida, She was tough yet you could understand her.
I dought that Marshal Dalton would get a courtsmarshal after all he's been through, The crew of the Dorian Grey would say that Hawkins went mad and wanted power and to take over the universe, and that Dalton was doing his duty killing Hawkins, We might even see Drexler!
and yes! I would add the cut enemies from U2 and Unreal Gold. Also some weapons that were originally in Unreal would be bought back, The Bio-Rifle, ASMD and the Quad-Shot would be bought up to date (Not looking like UT3 but UT2004/UT99 edition)
Also there will be the addition of the Enforcer Sidearm and Upgrades for the Dispersion Pistol. New poly rates, and even more maps in the CTA (Capture the Artifact - Like capture the flag but XMP edition. Normal CTF conditions apply)
All weapons in the multiplayer would need reloading.
New Ideas for maps now, Timberland (Yes, I currently have a little Halo thing), Morbias 3, Morpheus, Codex and Heretic (Nothing like H3's Heretic, It's DM-Mojo, Reimagined).

Quick Description of Deck 15
Deck 15 is like an older version of Deck 16. You have the main room, Weapons availible are the CAR, Widowmaker, Bio-rifle, ASMD, Quadshot (Replacing the Link Gun)
Flak room (With coolant fluid [highly toxic, takes off 10 hp/s. Fully sheilded player takes 20s to get "corroded", Player without sheilds corroded in 10s]) has hydra.
Rocket alcove has the shark mk. 3
bottom floor has asmd and the Vulcan.
Superweapons: Single shot Lazer Rifle (The Axon V1 Lazer ion rifle [Super Shock Cannon] Sigle shot, Emmits a safe lazer 'paint' patch on target then sends a high intensity lazer that will gib anything in it's path (X-Box Acheivment for getting two people in one lazer shot in online multiplayer: BBQ at Bob's)

I don't know nothing about Halo and I didn't make any link with "spirit of fire" (in fact mixing the universe in is not a good idea tbh).
And Gen Mo Kai were never enslaved by Skaarj, in fact they are not an evil race itself too, unlike Krall or Izarian.
And according to the storyline of unreal championship they took over the earth once, but not in a brutal way destroying everything, it was more or less a pass of the government to them, although not really with the government consent, but we can only imagine that the NEG was corrupt to begin with.
Actually that ship is not Liandri, but NEG one, I made a mistake, sorry. At all I didn't remember exactly how I said it in that old post, it is in some UT3 thread I think.
And Aida could escape before it was destroyed somehow, we can never know, at all she said in the message she will try to make it etc. There was rumor they planned expansion and I remember Cliff Bleszinsky mentioning in forums somewhere that Aida might not be really dead.
Well, it would help if the Unreal 2 betas and RCs will be released, which has still these cut races in. But following the latest news it is not so sure, since the betas are now lost anyway except for few backups and I think it is only up to Epic if they will ever release all of them, that is even with some check if the user owns a full game.
