[QUOTE="CarlZog, post: 5354003, member: 11716"] [b]Alternity for Firefly/Serenity[/b] Alternity was made for this kind of low-tech space opera. It's got a very flexible combat system that is designed to be adjusted for as much or as little gritty realism as you'd like. It's got great rules for spaceships and ship combat that keeps all the players involved in the action. Its a heavily skill-based system that allows characters to improve with experience, but not become absurdly powerful. It has a great mechanic for complex skill checks that does a great job of adding dramatic tension to tasks, encounters and negotiations. Its core setting, StarDrive, is based in a region of space very much like Firefly's. You could take whole planets and settings from it and plop 'em into Firefly universe with no adjustment.
