Anyone experienced with attic trusses?

This is the attic space in a property I've been analyzing and was wondering if anyone could help me out with the trusses. If I purchased the property I would like to remove these trusses and replace them with ones that make the attic space open enough to make into living space if that's even an option. What kind of options are available and costs would I be looking at for that kind of renovation? I searched google about attic renovation and trusses quite a bit when I was attempting to research and couldn't find any other examples of attics with trusses like this so any thoughts would be appreciated.

    You might need to consult with a structural engineer to sort that out. If they were standard trusses, the answer would be easier. In that case, you can just run a beam down the middle peak and be done with it. In this case, you probably need a beam on each peak.
