Firefly class transport

vessel was known as the Serenity, back when a science fiction called Firefly was still on the air. Nowadays that show is widely available for cheap on DVD, as is the follow-up film "Serenity". The sudden, unnecessary death of this show, and its treatment by FOX during its run, compose one of the cruelest stories in the history of science fiction on television. Produced and created by Joss Whedon, the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its universe, Firefly married together two genres --the western, essentially, in space-- with spectacular and greatly underrated results. Star Trek promised us "Gunsmoke in Space". Firefly took it to the next step. And with an ensemble cast of talented actors and a solid premise, this was one show that was taken from us too soon, with a legacy worthy of legend. Now you can bring that Firefly-class transport into the Armada universe AT LAST. And this one's a worthy model. It even includes the "crybaby" noise beacon that was used in the pilot episode. And it comes with all the bells and whistles --buildbutton, wireframe, admiral's log pic-- but that's where the appreciable contribution ends. For some reason, the .ODF has Serenity equipped with limited armaments, something the ship never had ---after all, why keep Jayne around otherwise? :D Also unfortunate is the lack of the ability to launch the shuttles (the vessel has two such shuttles) nor any .SOD for the tiny craft. It's too bad because really that's all that's missing. Oh, and the possibility for improvement also would include sound files compatible just with this ship, taken from the show. (One other thing-- the vessel's a bit more..... brown? than I remember. I seem to recall Serenity being a tin and silver colour, not the brown of this vessel. But far be it from me to complain at the sight of a brown coat of paint. Get it-- brown coat?) :lol: And no "ragtag Colonial Fleet" is complete without this vessel-- the SFX guys on the new Battlestar Galactica also worked on Serenity, and they included at least one Firefly-class transport in the miniseries! (They also included a Constitution class starship that may or may not be named Enterprise....) So, if you're a fan of Firefly, get this now. If you're not a fan of Firefly, get the DVDs and you will be downloading this little gem of a ship in no time. If only it came with a readme file.....
