Firefly

[RParade]

I'll quit playing Discovery if the Firefly is removed. Not that any of you care.:P

I love that damned ship. I didn't even know it was an import for the longest time, and I'd imagine not many others did either since Firefly kind of failed as a TV series.


A new texture would be nice, the current one tends to bug out sometimes I've seen.

Please don't nerf the Firefly. It's the only transport ship that's actually fun to fly.:P

Firefly stats are fine, I think. Texture, as already noted, is awful.

I wouldn't actually mind a replacement Firefly... Same basic layout, but slightly modified so it's not an exact ripoff from the show/movie. And with the same stats/size/maneuverability. It's a nice, but not unbalanced, ship.

Hey Jinx, wanna give it a shot? ;)

Signed... I only watched the show after someone told me it was an import from the show...

No adjusting of the stats. It's great as it is.

But definately needs retexturing. If it could end up looking like the mugshots Tenacity posted, it'd be grand I tell ya. Grand.

dont spend efforts into the texture when this _IMPORTED_ model should be replaced anyway.

I didn't watch Firefly when it aired as a series due to the bad marketing of it. But I had a day of bed rest when I was injured and happened to catch the scifi rebroadcast of all the episodes.

Star trek and Star Wars bring a complete, very non-Freelancerish technology and tone with them but the Firefly neatly "tucks away" in the Freelancer world. I have yet to see anyone with a Firefly rping a "Browncoat"--it's just a loved ship. my wife hates scifi but loves the show. It does have charm and almost all scifi has a nod to some distinguished other work.

Let it stay. I'd be more true to the show myself though and remove ALL the gun hard points but ONE and let that be a mount that can equip up to gunboat size on it (but also lesser classes). The power plant could be dropped down drastically as well so it wasn't abused (a very slow recharge would work).

I like "unique"--we need more disparate things in here.

Oh yeah, and fix that crappy texture!

Firefly is really the only import that doesn't feel like an import. When I landed on New Tokyo for the first time, my thought was "OMIGOD, I'm on Ariel..." The feel and tech of the universes mesh pretty damn well, almost seamlessly even, and to top it off, if it gets a new texture then it will look not only pretty, but really FLish too. If it's the last import left in the mod, killify it for consistency's sake. But while Homeworld or Star Wars non-FL... things float around, it might as well stay since it actually fits, unlike those... things.

I'd actually rather see its price and cargo drop significantly (along with it's firepower- to fit with the show, give it a mortar, but a single GB or cruiser turret mount on the top would be a bit more... fair) and make it the smuggling ship it was meant to be. Up agility to match smaller cargo capacity, and you've got a regular blockade runner... which is what the thing is designed to do. More like a big freighter than a medium transport.

First pictures looks like something from Serenity. Yes/no?

Um... dude... serenity and firefly were the same thing.

Firefly = TV series
Serenity = movie made after the TV series

Die in a fire.

The ship feels exactly like an import, and it is, and it should be removed along with the star wars ships the BHG has and any other imports.

The basics stats could be replaced with a ballooned out clydesdale and it would fit much better than an import.

You're about as retarded as spock with a lime on his head.

Firefly was the best space-genre tv series ever to air, it's a shame fox shut them down after one season. If that show was still running today it'd likely have more viewers than anything else on scifi -_-

Firefly was mediocre at best.
