It's still very pre-alpha. We have quarterly server wipes to update the client, but it's fun to mess around in. You have to be a backer to actually play, but on the website the cheapest packages are like $35 I think and you get a starting ship and some credits.

Thanks!
Have you ever played Star Citizen? I have sunk quite a few hours into that game and it's a lot of fun. It generates an entire solar system within a single giant instanced space box, and you can go from your bed on a space station to the hangar to get in your ship and then down to all the planets without any loading screens other than when you first connect for the session. The Freelancer ships remind me of Serenity some. My friend Kenny and I go on mining missions a lot and it's always kinda scary when we're traveling back to a port with a full cargo -- pirates sometimes pull ships out of quantum travel and then it's a firefight. One time I landed my ship in a restricted zone and then woke up in penal colony, lol.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Totally adore that avatar :D. I actually had an RP once called Firefly: The Next Generation. It starred the children of the original crew, and I played a character named Kylar Washburne, who Zoë had become pregnant with just before Wash died. The story takes place about thirty years after show and film, and the original Serenity had long been destroyed in the Second Unification War. Kylar had served as a Browncoat in that conflict just as his mother had in the first, and then when he returned home from the war, he discovered an old junked firefly-class ship and restored it together with Zoë.
The event that brings all the characters back together is Zoë's death, and the trip to Mr. Universe's Moon to bury her next to Wash. However, along the way, a young blond girl shows up asking for Kylar. Turns out she is Niska's granddaughter seeking freedom, remembering Kylar being kind to her when he was held prisoner during the war. I made some tweaks to the canon for this aspect to say that Niska had multiple children and grandchildren, some of whom were born after his death. They played the primary antagonists in the story, coming to collect the girl and then marking them all for death when Kylar refused to abandon her.

I'm more looking forward to Wraith losing all control over the direction when we turn the roleplay into Footloose.
I’m already foreseeing some kind of Detroit: Become Human stuff happening lol.
I once had an RP based around Teen Titans/ Young Justice. The "player-characters" were the sidekicks attending the Justice League's Tenth Anniversary Ball at the Hall of Justice. A group of villains attacked, and unbeknownst to the other writers, I secretly inserted Deathstroke into the story disguised as a waiter. The only other writer who knew something was up was the girl who played Terra, but even she wasn't completely in the loop. So anyway, while the attacking villains created a distraction, Deathstoke commandeered Terra and the two of them slipped deeper into the Hall in search of the Blue Beetle scarab, which was stored in the Armory after the previous host had died. They were confronted on their way out, however, and the scarab fell out of it's containment pod, jumped to life, and scurried off into the chaos. It found the young Jaime Reyes and latched on, marking him as the new host. Jaime then lost control and started attacking anything and everything. He was then confronted by Hal Jordan, and an intense fight ensued. I then surprised and delighted the other writers by severely rising the stakes with Hal Jordan getting impaled by Blue Beetle's arm saber. I described his death in excruciating detail, and then the Green Lantern ring shot off through a broken window, eventually finding John Stewart.
