What characters are included in the base game? Are all of serenity's crew playable?

All of the characters and some you probably don't remember are included in the game. They are "playable" if you draw them, recruit them, and pay them.

Captain Mal is one of the game Leaders/Captains that players can choose from (and in a later expansion, Zoe), all the rest of the crew are scattered around in the various shopping planets decks, looking to be found (and hired) randomly. characters, both foreground and background, from the entire series are found throughout, with all manner of special abilities. in expansions, they add in movie materials. additionally, Equipment (including Vera) are available to purchase too

All Playable as cards. captains are a different matter. (Mal is one of the captains though) Every Character is well represented, even to the point of "who was this guy again?".

My daughter says yes. It was a gift to her. I haven't looked at it myself. So, not sure. Sorry.

I have played this with several friends now that had never watched Firefly the series or Serenity the Movie. They still thoroughly enjoyed the game by itself. But a knowledge of the series does add to the game play. Subtly jokes for the fans to be ticked with.

You can definitely play it without Xbox live. That's what I am doing right now because I haven't updated my live membership yet. You only need online play for extra side "activities" like trading fleets, multiplayer, and battling your friends online. But the normal storyline works fine without a membership.

Yes and no, the core game is 2 player because of the amount of ships. With expansions however you can have larger more complex games like 3 on 3.

Not to my knowledge. This is the only one showing on Amazon. My guess is the "standard version" has something to do with the game itself (which I haven't played).

Yup I've got it in mine. The whole reason I bought it. Get this and then get Awesomenauts for PS4. Then thank me for referring the game to you :-D

It can be played solo fairly easily, but I'd recommend playing as 2 different characters most of the time. It's sweet spot would be with 3-5 players depending on the group.

With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here. I've played a few times through the intro story and have even played the single player story, enjoying the game each time. I do feel that, if played on a regular basis, with the same crew, you may find yourself losing some of your desire to play but that is where the expansions come in. You can grab the Breakin' Atmo expansion on the cheap and add 50 new cards to the decks for a change of pace or get the Pirates and Bounty Hunters expansion for some player v player action as well. I just purchased all of the expansions except the latest one and cannot wait to play. Keep Flyin' With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here.

I have tried playing with 2 as a way to learn the rules, but it lost the guess work of who is a cylon. This is a major part of playing the game but it is playable without it. If you played with 2 I would recommend playing it on the more difficult setting.

With the core set only you can play up to three players with each controlling a ship. More ships will equal more people just note that there will be player elimination this way.

The link for the question goes to the Next Phase. Which is the second installment for this game. While it is stand alone, I highly recommend getting the Premiere edition. It will have Picard's face on it and have a blue/black looking box. The next phase has the Borg queen with a greenish black box.

Yes but you would need to get more models as the original set has models for 3 player. Originally there were 4 factions to play with: Federation, Klindgon, Romulan and the Dominion. However, now we have the Borgs. The Borgs are still relatively new with only 3 ships. The scenarios that came with each ships are mostly for 2 players. There is one or two of them that are for 3 players. for four players you can either use the 2 players scenario and spit each team into 2 players or you can just make up your own scenario.

You can play a "Force Exile" - someone who has natural talent, but no formal training in the Force. The book only presents 3 powers, and the Force Adept is an additional specialization that is pretty expensive to invest in experience-wise. It is tough to play a force user in the game - and fittingly so (keep in mind that this game is set at the height of the Empire's power, and there are few force-users in the galaxy.)All said, it is pretty easy to adapt and houserule in additional force powers and specializations, especially if you have any familiarity with the Saga Edition. While these are two different rule systems, the career specializations work similarly. You can play a "Force Exile" - someone who has natural talent, but no formal training in the Force.

This is the base game. There is an expansion but it isn't needed in order to play. I would actually suggest getting familiar with the base game before getting the expansion, if you even want to, later. The expansion gives you these neat petri dishes to hold some of the game pieces in and has a few more job titles and such.

Yes but you have to buy a PS3 game and portal. The characters can be used on all consoles.

Not really sure, I only played the original game. The expansion was a gift for someone else.

A little late to the answering for me, but the core set only comes with 3 ships. Two TIE Fighters and one X-Wing fighter. While you can use this to play a three player game, it is very unbalanced because the X-wing is a stronger ship, hence why it is meant to go against two TIE Fighters, not just one. With expansions though, you can make a very interesting force, which is ideally a two player or two team game. However, they recently released a Most Wanted Faction of outlaws and bounty hunters and the like, so that might make for an interesting three player game where each person has a different faction. I will certainly be getting some of those for smaller games. A little late to the answering for me, but the core set only comes with 3 ships. Two TIE Fighters and one X-Wing fighter.
