  • based on the TV show, and you can choose any character from the show to play as, as well as any of their professions as your character-class/specialty, such as being a Registered Companion
  • –all the worlds they WANTED to show us (and would have, had their network not cancelled the series), the game STARTING with the pre-war buildup backstory (and, of course, entirely sexualized; you can play as any of the characters, and, like in Mass Effect, have them get w each other, clients, etc.)
  • –The player is the captain of the Firefly ship you pick out and customize; make and model, paintjob, supplies, crew, etc., and you have to keep your crew paid, which means you have to keep doing missions for pay. Crew morale can rise and fall based on you finding their balance between work and play. Sometimes they might even threaten to quit –or do so.
  • –If you play as a bounty hunter, your crew supports you in doing that. Same if you play as a Companion; your crew still needs to include a mechanic, medic, etc., but might all be Companions themselves, and will at least all support you as you whore yourself around The Verse (and we say this in a positive way; we love classy whores).
    Planet-side, and sometimes even in Space, some NPCs will try to scam or even capture you, your ship, one of your crewmates, etc., so you have to stay armed and aware of your surroundings.
  • –You don’t have to land in spaceports; you can land out in the middle of nowhere, and on less-developed worlds… sometimes no one will care, if they even notice. You can set up caches and safehouses way out there, or in cities –though cities cost more, unless you have built up your reputation in them. Out in the wild, you can find a cave, dig a bunker pit, build a compound of modules linked together, etc., but you’ll have to power it yourself, and deal with wildlife NPCs sniffing around.
  • –There is no end to this game; even if you unlock and complete every quest, loot every Space debris site, and build up a massive compound/structure/base somewhere, you can keep building on all the other worlds, natural disasters will still occasionally spawn, wildlife will keep spawning and troubling your NPCs, your reputation built up with one side will alienate some of the others, and so on.

Play As; Character Classes:

  • a bounty hunter; ~monthly, if not weekly, bounties posted, sometimes to bring back bail-violators, other times to gun fugitives down
  • a mercenary; monthly soldiering contract offers/requisitions; you pick who you work for, such as to provide convoy or executive security –sometimes even helping people fight off Reavers
  • a Registered Companion; weekly client (NPC) offers in The Cortex; you pick who to go meet for sex, cater to their needs (date, massage, overnight, techniques, etc.), building up clout/reputation points with them and their associates, which causes prices for you to gradually lower in their areas/worlds, more quests to become available, etc.
  • a salvager; not often Cortex offers, but post-war debris/derelicts in many places –just don’t get too greedy; going after the biggest “Space ship-graveyards” can be risky all on its own, not to mention the fact it is in UAP-patrolled Space
  • a UAP soldier; (enlisted being ordered around, or an officer deploying teams of enlisted) daily briefing via your player Cortex portal/menu, showing you where your help is needed in your jurisdiction / deployment-area
    etc.

  • –Accessing “The Cortex” (interplanetary Internet just connecting 34 Tauri worlds/civilizations) is part of the game, as it helps you plot routes based on travel restrictions and Space weather, check messages from clients, notice Wanted bulletins you might need to avoid, and so on.  Example
  • –You have to have a Companion onboard to dock/land at a Core world -excepting Rubicon (terraforming scheduled) and Hades (terraforming on hold)
  • –The Cortex tells you which planet has your mail; every post office in 34 Tauri updates Cortex user accounts the digital equivalent of a postman raising a mailbox side red flag stick. Why doesn’t all mail go to each person’s physical home address? Some people don’t have one, and sometimes Space weather or Reavers or other things indefinitely hinder the shipping of mail
  • pay for things with 34 Tauri money; in-game economy
