I say go for it!
I am particularily interested in these areas mentioned so far:
one unified vehicle design system for everything
new trade and commerce system
physics problems
> and whether or not you'd be interested in a new Universe to run them in.
This is an interesting possibility. But I think it should be secondary
to the main goal of fixing up the rules. Many GMs have their own
homebrewed campaign backgrounds anyway (though neat ideas are always
welcome).
Hopefully, though, the rules will not be changed so much that the
"official" universe could not have happened. I think many will still
want the option of being able to use the NEW and IMPROVED rules with
"official" materials.
On another topic, what ever happened to the SYSGEN mailing list?
Or more importantly the SYSGEN programs?

[TML Admin here (see, I do read these things!). The two topical mail
sub-lists, Trade & Commerce and Star System Database, died out a year or
two ago. It seems to be hard for large groups of people to stay
committed over months on a task or topic. Should anyone wish to
volunteer as a "Topic Coordinator" and mini-mail-list admin, I'd be
happy to give it my official blessing. It looks like metlay may be
requesting this once he can find some deeply committed people. I
suppose one way to judge commitment is to examine whether a person has
had a consistent history of posting meaty material to the TML -- James]
