How are they going to oust EVE online?
It might be fun if it was like a MMO fps, where you hitting stuff wasn't determined by a roll of dice but by where you aimed.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
I really don't understand how this could be successful. Firefly is a cult series. It has nowhere near the high profile of Star Trek, Star Wars, or even the other newer series like Babylon 5, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, etc. with the general gaming audience. What success it has with its audience and fanbase is due to the character development. The writing was unusually good for this type of thing.
Take away those specific characters, replace them with generic roles (pilot, doctor, fighter, priest, engineer, courtesan, ninja), and that game setting just isn't very interesting (IMO). The whole thing took place in one poorly-defined solar system with one cute idea about using a wild west + space theme, but no real depth outside the story arc.There just isn't much there to work with, after you remove the main characters.
Maybe I'm wrong and it will be great, but I'm skeptical. They're going to have to really flesh out that background setting to make it interesting enough.
