What we need is a seamless planetary landing space sim that has planets with enough population as to not bore us with 2 hours of flying to blow up an objective. I must admit I have no knowledge of the Firefly series, but I've been an avid fan of space sims for the majority of my 25 years in this existance. I am well aware of the complexities involved in such an en devour, but if a basic MMORPG system was built with independent, fan run (company funded?) servers supporting different mods, it may just work.

Yeah it will take us to be coordinated to get a standard of mods, which the game development team should have no part of. But it's been done with X3: Reunion. The mods and scripts available for
X3 simply blow my mind. And it's because the gamers themselves create them. They know what they want and with an easily modular system, they can make it a reality for multiple users.

Games soon to be released, such as Tomorrow War, have such promise to revive this dying gaming genre. Space sims were fun when they involved something we never did, which was fly in space. Unfortunately for distributors, flying in space is old news now. But the space sim genre still has so much to offer. A developer needs only to create a base system that will support user made mods and ships and such, and the genre will find it's place again, even if just among us space sim geeks. Combine that with online interaction and the idea becomes golden. Just allow a single player story mode or the free form online version.

A word of advice, from a software developer myself, if anyone considering developing this idea gets started, base the system off of how the online connection reacts. Local code will depend on the machine it runs on, which is up to the user, as we well except (know) lag with online games can be avoided if the program is initially designed to handle such issues.

I am a software developer and an avid space sim fan completely willing to help design the next gen of space simulation. This offer stems from the desire to have the game I've dreamed of for oh so long... Maybe someday it will exist.

do you guys know about how multiverse operates?
Just wondering because they already have the licence to firefly from fox and have an mmo engine, they just need to find a team. If you already knew this, sorry for repeating :)

RPG sure, MMO no thanks.

Yeah, but what COULD be made is a browser based game. I dont know how it could work, but its an idea. Or even a MUD. I agree that an MMORPG probobly wont happen but if we tried a MUD or a Browser Based web game, we could make a choice from there after a while.

These guys have stated that they need some help:

These guys as well:

I believe that both projects need help with and aside from programming.
