Ok so this question has been hovering over my head since I came to this magnificent game, does anybody else see a similarity in the Noctis and Serenity from the TV Show "Firefly" and the movie "Serenity" and if anybody else sees it, was this intentionally done? is CCP a bunch of Firefly fans?? |

Not really, no.
No stubby-wing rotary engine pods, no bird-neck cockpit, no firefly-butt engine, and just a general lack of the rounded shapes of a Firefly-class ship. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Yes, it's just you. Firefly was awesome and ended too soon.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Yes my friend, you are the only one.
Firefly was one of the best SciFi series of all time.
If you didn't get to the end of the first episode (which, by the way, was not the first episode due to the network wanting to show them out of order) you really have no idea what was going on. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Noctis reminds me more of the Earth alliance battlecruisers from Babylon 5 than anything in Firefly.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

To be fair, the premise becomes evident more quickly when watched in the correct order.
Mankind has spread out and is Terra forming and colonizing... probably to quickly for it's own good.
Once the Terra forming process gets to a certain point colonists and supplies are dropped off, often poorly equipped. Often the colonists elect to go with fairly primitive equipment (or have no choice) due to cost, lack of ability to maintain sophisticated equipment, or other factors.
The technologically advanced core worlds end up being further and further from the grim reality of life in the colonies... where reliable firearms are preferred to delicate lasers that need frequent recharging, and horses are often the preferred common transportation compared to hover craft or ATV's in the largely roadless area's. Thus your cowboys in space feel.
Government and law in the core worlds is strict, controlling and efficient... in stark contrast with the almost nonexistent law and govt. in the colonies. The core worlds seek to extend and exert their "advantages" to the colonies (and exploit them in the process). This eventually leads to a war, which the colonies lose.
While the core worlds are the technical central authority, the colonies are numerous and space is vast. A great deal of activity happens just outside the effective reach of the core worlds law enforcement.
Our hero (if you can call him that) was an officer from the losing side, just trying to get by outside the reach of the core worlds whom he despises (with good reason).
Those are the broad strokes, and doesn't do the excellent storyline and acting justice. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Haters gonna hate.
I named my Noctis "Serenity" for this very reason. That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

They insisted on showing the episodes out of order, bumped it for other things innumerable times, and shifted it's time slot all over the place. Unless you had a DVR it was very, very difficult to catch an episode much of the time.
At the time they didn't realize how talented (and big) Joss Whedon (well known now for the Avengers) would become, otherwise they might have treated the show like something other than a curiosity.
As a side note, I hear there is a chance that Nathan Fillion (Mal) might be cast as Ant Man in a year or so.

P.S. The scene where the alliance fights the reavers, was totally Gallente vs Sansha. Pff! Blue nebula; militaristic state.
Obviously Caldari. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

But the alliance ships were way to curvy and rounded to be Caldari. Caldari are blocky ships. Welcome to Eve Online |

It's really not that unusual of a concept, when you dig into the backstory of it all. EVE Online - A Rigged Game |

Yeah, has to be the Omega, Abaddon reminds me of the Warlock and the Hyperion does sort of remind me of the Hyperion but its less obvious. |

Actually I can see this more than serenity, CCP should put a Firefly themed ship in (not saying right away) I think that would be cool |

I actually do see the similarity, was chatting about it with a few folk in-game just the other day. You do have to squint a bit, but I find as one passes by on undock or similar and you just get a quick glimpse, they do look a bit alike. Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the War Room! |

And really I think that was the point I was trying to convey, I didnt mean up close or docked up, but if you are undocking and see a noctis 20 km out it looks like Serenity :) also, Im glad so many firefly fans play EVE \o/ |

Don't think that show would ever make any money by major network standards, Space Westerns still a niche market.
Agents of Shield sucks ass tho.

Honestly I always thought the Harby looked like a Firefly.
And the Abaddon like a Halo 1 Assault Rifle.
And the Myrmidon bad-ass. |
