The Firefly mod for Freelancer is really cool, been playing it for a few weeks now.
BUT, I'd personally like to see a combination type game for Firefly.
Basically a 2-in-1 type game that combines a Freelancer type space sim with a Half-Life type first person shooter. The reason being is that sure, it's great to fly around in Serenity, but I'd like to get off of the ship and be able to command the team through missions like knocking over a bank, or robbing the train... Anyway, I just think that would be the best game EVER!

If you folks are interested in playing a 'Firefly-like' game I would suggest you check out EVE Online. Its basically like Elite on steroids set in a multiplayer 'verse andplayable completely online. They even have a 14 day trial!

It would be the best game ever, especially if it had no subscription.
I had this idea a while ago. Imagine it as a MMORPG, with gameplay modules. People who just wanted space flight (either big multi-crew types or personal fighters ala Wing Commander) could just install the space flight module. People who want a more 1st/3rd person shooter/RPG (definitely RPG level ups for interest) could only have that mod installed. People who wanted the full experience could have both mods: fly around, then land on planets and explore towns and wilderness.
Furthermore, AI controlled characters should be in every town, like Morrowind. =)
My tweaks (3 posts above) to WCU are similar to the space flight mod this game would have. In fact, if you didn't have the FPS mod installed you should still be able to jack into the 'net and get freelance missions (bounties, patrols, etc).
I'm actually adding such a computer game into my webcomic. An element to add some action, some of the characters play it from time to time. =)
Hopefully the first related comics will start this week. ':-)

All of this can be done. Not sure how, but I use to play Star Wars Galaxies and it had both first/third person, and space flight. You could even move around the inside of your ship while up in space. The game wasn't that great, but if they could do it, then I don't see why someone else could rig up the same thing. Would be awesome, and I got a nice shinny coin for the guy/gal who pulls it off!!!
