Alright alright sorry, just i hate it wen people tell me to do things technical... ?.?
I just hate it when people complain about the lack of specific content as if they're entitled to it. Guess that makes us even.

The Regulators come close to the Reavers.

Do I need to say anything that isn't obvious here?

Well just been working on it actually. its being a pane in the ass =/ The shape is rea-heally hard to get right even with photos and such. If I did an interior it probably wouldn't be to scale but we'll have to see...
Might take a little longer than I originally thought cus I'm also working on a British Invasion mod which is taking up most of my GECK time right now. I'll defo post pics when I begin to get somewhere tho =)

If you strip them down the their base elements, the future-western theme is the main thing they have in common. Firefly, on the lawless outer planets, "A ship will get you work. A gun will help you keep it", and Fallout, on the lawless wastelands of post-apocolyptic america. Basically, if you strip them down far enough they're both futuristic and have a western "lawless" theme, but it's a weak link. Frankly, I don't need much more than that to link two fantastic things :P

Alright, I've heard enough from both sides, here's the take:

This sort of thing happens all the time. When Borderlands was described to me, the words "post apocalyptic" came up, though anyone who has actually played it will tell you that the game takes place on another planet that is basically in the process of being colonized. (That being said, Pandora fits so snugly in the Firefly-esque scene that it's almost insulting that there aren't any obvious references or cameos.)

The point is, there are parallels, and they deserve a nod. Fallout might not be the ideal comparison, might not exactly be the Firefly universe, but since when has that stopped it from a good reference?! In Fallout 2 you could get the Holy Hand Grenade from a lost platoon of suspicious Enclave. The Defense rests.

That being said, we're looking at the release of New Vegas and a whole new set of in-jokes, walk-ons, and references. If Fallout 3 is "Western" enough for you, why not New Vegas? Be patient, people: Fallout shall never die!

actually the whole thing works out if you consider the following

A Rogue Enclave Base and a Rogue Chinese base worked together to build space ships to leave Earth when the nukes started flying.
The resulting group called itself The Anglo-Sino Alliance, succeeded and colonized a new solar system. Over time people forgot about the nuclear war and just think that the Earth was used up. Remember the start of Serenity? There were explosions happening on Earth's surface as the ships left. Explosions seen from SPACE.

That's actually a good point - you do see explosions on Earth-that-Was when Serenity starts. I had to break out my box set to check. It's actually a pretty sound theory, if you ask me. A few teams are being sent up to build and colonize a space station, and when the bombs go off, they start looking for a new Earth. I suppose it could be tied in really well, given somebody who is not about to collapse from exhaustion writes up a merger for it.

Does nobody find it wierd that for all the similarities between Firefly/Serenity and Fallout there are NO mods related to the former... I`v had a pretty good look, and theres little to do with anything from the TV series and movie. So I geuss what Im asking for is ANYTHING... from Jayne Cobb`s gun, Vera, to Mal`s coat, to a full-on Firefly class spaceship, anything to do with that TV series I love.

Also, a shout out to all the fans out there of the show! Can`t stop the signal!


Firefly is a japanese western, it is not related to fallout or even similar.
I might like some of these things, just not the more japanese parts.

EDIT: Also do not insult the poeple who can make this mod, someone with a brain is not a nerd. So now you can pretty much learn to create the mod if you want, otherwise don't call poeple who take less than a day to stop what they are doing for doing something themselves unlike others which i hope will grasp this post.

It's actually based on Chinese culture mixed with western "United States" culture. The creator stated that he felt in the future with China and the US being the two main super powers, perhaps each would adopt a greater understanding and respect for each other that would affect society as a whole.

That said while Fallout doesn't really draw a lot of parallels that hasn't stopped people from importing all sorts of stuff that doesn't make sense. With mods it's your game, make what you like of it.
