Is there anything like that?

As much as I loved jumping into a fighter and having dogfights against [Empire/Kilrathi/Rebells/whatever in front of my blasters] in the past I just don't have the itch to do this anymore. Most (all?) mods I saw for FS2 are spacefighter simulators; did I missed one which lets me take the bridge of a Battleship/Carrier/something else similar sized?

In the Blue Planet: War in Heaven Mod for Freespace 2 there is a short mission (not in the main campaign, but a side thing) where you play as a frigate. There may be other mods for Freespace 2 that allow you to play as a capital ship, but I don't know them.

However, if you're interest in full games that focus on capital ship control then I would look to Independence War 1/2 which is a different series of games entirely and on GOG. Independence War 2 is also open world.

I have these, but thanks for the info.

No problem - sorry I couldn't be more helpful. The mission in Blue Planet: War in Heaven is called "The Blade itself" and as far as I know is the only mission in any Freespace mod where you play as a capital ship, but my knowledge is far from complete. :)
