Im a big fan of EVE Online ,Freelancer and privateer etc.It will be interesting to see what kind of ship vs ship combat system,if any might be employed.I can just imagine being reavers chasing after other ship and using a magnetic grapler or blowing out their engines or something.Then forcing your way on board and taking the ship.Then you could make it your own or maybe tow it back to base and sell it or salvage it.

Also it would cool to see the different jobs characters could do or specialise in.It would be great to be a wrecker and go exploring for old boats to pull apart,even go scrounging in the alliance scrap yards.Or you could even be like the guys from Our Mrs Reynolds and catch ships in a net.

Another thing is the time in which this is set.It could in fact occur before our BDHs come together,like it could take place during the war for inderpendance and players could choose what side they are on.This could lead to really cool missions like protecting browncoat convoys or raiding alliance ones,not to mention all the ground combat.

BTW ,anyone know any active browncoat corps in EVE Online?

All I can think of though with a firefly MMO, is how are they thinking they can deal with death?

Browncoat EVE corp though? If not sounds like a good idea.

Thats an idea, i hear about wars and story lines on EVE online, and Corporations start wars with each other.

I mean, think about it, it might not be a set story at all, it might not be an exactly time period but an ever changing one, as in there could be a war, a second one, who knows lol.

lol if that did happen it would probably be really unbalanced......everyone would want to be a browncoat .poor alliance would be short on recruits

Thats why the Admins bring in more AI characters.....all characters can be killed during the game....of course if would only be fair to allow them to respawn somewhere or be healed (re spawn at a hospital) lol

Oh course it would be hard to master this as careful planning would be required.

So the designers would have to create the game to it is alot better for a player to take a ship, as you then can make it your own, sell it , scrap it etc..... (create your own fleet), as these options would not be available if you were to destroy it.
So when your ship is taken you are either taken prisoner and get given the option to (join their crew or be left on some moon).

Just there are so many twists as if making it so if you die, you spawn somewhere wud be totaly unrealistic, but respawning somewhere and starting from stratch......would just piss people off! lol

so, err, where were we before i started babbling on?
Oh yea
Im sure some people would create two characters, like EVE online you can create I think 4 characters, so you could be a Browncoat, or join the alliance or do what ever you wanted tbh.
