Having a new engine is fine, but where are all the art assets going to come from? Barring a few TCs which replace virtually everything in the game asset wise, most mods use the majority of the YR assets. A more fruitful project might be to write an engine that can use all the existing YR assets with little to no modification so that if you own a YR disc, you can install the assets from there and then install a mod on top of it that uses the extra features.
