Yes its true.

As a big fan of Serenity and later Firefly, i saw the movie then purchased the series on dvd, i wanted to captain my own firefly but how?
Its easy. You will need the pc game freelancer. Its an older space sim, doesnt need much power and is cheap. There is an enterprising group of "modders" who have been rewriting the core game for years now. You can find a list of all the "mods" on Lancers Reactor.com. Dont worry they have made a "mod manager" that will do all the work for you. Its totally free and the opportunity to role play any way you wish on any of the servers cant be beat. I found the core game "Freelancer" on ebay for $5.00 US brand new :)....The best server i have seen has to be Evolved Ones... www.evolvedones.com... The server is a little empty of players right now but the Administrators are happy to have new players join. If we can get enough new players interested in roleplaying Serenity im am sure they will be glad to help us. There is only the "serenity" freighter at the moment, but who would want to fly anything else?

Do yourself a favor and check out Lancers Reactor and Evolvedones. You wont be sorry.

I would be glad to send in game shots of my firefly to any who ask. Dont mind the guns. You need firepower flying around all the outlying systems. Just reply and i will send as soon as i read.

p.s. Lancersreactor.com has a free trial version of the core game available for download. No controlers needed. The game uses Kb and Mouse.

Didn't see it mentioned, but are you saying there is specifically a firefly mod, or just that the game itself is similar to firefly?

You could also try out a mod of the simulator called OrbiterSim if you just want to drive Serenity around. Just go to orbitersim.com and download the simulator and then download the modification that lets you control Serenity. It has a steep learning curve, but is pretty fun.

You know, I somehow knew it was going to be Freelancer before I even read the thread XD I've actually just recently got back into Freelancer, but I've lost some interest as well. I've beaten it before, and when stuff gets hard I just get annoyed.

Mods are the only thing keeping the game alive, though. Honestly, it's a GREAT game without mods even, but once it loses its new it becomes merely a "good" game.

This IS one of the best spacesims out there...I'd say THE best _current_ spacesim. It ranks right up there with Freespace 2 in my book (another AWESOME game!)

Who We Are & What We Do:

Greetings! By either an act of sheer will, divine providence, or pure chance, you have arrived at the Evolved RPG Server Website. We welcome you.

Evolved is a community of Freelancer players who strive to expand the game experience by taking on one role or another and playing that role to the best of their abilities at all times possible, both in game and out. The heart of our community is what goes on in the server, which you can see on the global list as "Evolved 24/7 RPG." That is the place where factions fight to defend what is theirs or take what is others. It is the place where Freelancers dodge the greater conflicts in pursuit of their own diverse goals. It is the place where battles are won and lost, where millions are made and squandered, and where agreements are honored or broken. All system chat (blue) must be in character there, and we encourage private channels (green) to be in character as well to whatever extent is possible.

The role-play does not stop there. Indeed, in some ways the majority of it happens somewhere else: the Evolved Forum. This is the place where a player can post his initial Pilot Log, introducing himself to the community, and can learn about the various Player Factions when deciding if and which to join. It is the place where players come to read the latest player posted Colony News Service reports so they are up to date with the goings-on of the Sirius Sector. It is also the place where server issues can be brought to the Admin Team for review and resolution.

The Evolved 24/7 RPG Server currently uses our very own Evolved Mod v2.1, developed by the Players, for the Players! This Modification includes many new & exciting features such as:

- 120 flyable ships
( Designer: Silent Jay, Hercules, Baene, Dart, Daniel "Rakile" Williams,
Sousuke, TheRoyalFamily, Coyote, Goldfinger, Cerun, Archedyne(FedrationShippack) )
- Rebalanced power drain system for weapons.
- Liberty and Bretonian weapons re-balanced to bring them in line with Kusari and Rheinland equipment.
- Rebalancing of ships to allow all to mount high level weapons.
- Two new Russian NPC factions, the "Stalinist's" and the "Romanov's."
- New Bedouin NPC faction moving into the Tau systems.
- New Alien faction with a consuming desire to make contact with humans.
- New mineral rich Russian and Alien systems.
- Loads of new commodities.
- Rebalanced mineral zones to make mining a viable career option.
- Player-written in game CNS News and bar rumors at player faction bases and beyond!
- New re-balanced economy, laying the groundwork for a the first truly dynamic market!

Our Dedicated Server Admins, Silent Jay, Sledge, Cicijo, Coyote, and TaknTar, are here to assist the players and the community in their enjoyment of the unique Role Playing environment created by our members. We welcome you to what will undoubtedly be one of the most unique & exciting Freelancer RPG's ever created. All we ask is that you read and observe the Server/Forum Rules. They are there to help maintain a fun role-play environment for everyone.

Does that mean that disconnects are frequent?

no. disconnects are no frequent. Tak, the main admin who hosts the server is on a trip and has been unable to do a full server reset so they have been a little more frequent.

New players get 15mil starting money. the server knows your Reg number so you will only ever get it once.

be sure to read the forum. it explains about starting money, banking, storage, building factories etc.
