Why not fly around the Sirius and explore new systems?
Seek adventure and see where the road takes you.So many bases and jump-holes to be found.
Firefly is perfect ship for rp freelancer ,trade on the way,meet new factions,people...
You'll probably die few times but why the hell not?
It makes trading or smuggling more fun and it will help you create and develop your character.
Most fun i had on server is when i was complete noob,flying only ship i had around Sirius.
I still remember adrenalin rush i felt every time i meet someone in space...
