That would be cool. We'd need more than just a phrasebook though. I always loved the way they got around the 'no swearing on TV' rule by being three times as rude in chinese.
To be honest, it's always been one of those 'tommorow' projects. however, after watching the DVD of Firefly, I'm probably going to set up a developers journal and just start porting stuff across until it's done.
It's also loosley based on 'Open Space', the core idea being that space travel is very cheap to implement.
I don't know about cheap ... sure, once you've got a ship it Seems to be reasonably self- sustaining, but I think that's more because ships are quite expensive and rare, so you can charge a lot for a simple transport job, than because they're cheap to run.
Personally I was thinking it would work better as a planet bound game ... maybe set on a planet like Persephone. or even a smaller backwater colony.
To me part of the charm of FF was that it wasn't Star Wars or Star Trek - it was about the characters, not the setting (ok - that's probably actually closer to the Star Wars). I agree with Andy, get on with it, and seriously consider setting planetside - easier to phys-rep convincingly too.
ahhh when i first started watching FF i used it to understand bits. and it makes things that are funny even funnier. and i was shocked by how naughty some of them are sometimes. oh i love Firfly sososososo much.
