I have never minded pop-culture references in games, as long as they aren't too over the top and slapping you in the face. Most are so tame that only someone who is really a fan of the reference would even get it, and those people would probably appreciate it.

Why hasn't anyone commented on how similar the layout of the BH's ship is to the Serenity?

Enter into the cargo hold in the back, stairway on the left leading to a catwalk which takes you to the bridge. The general shape of the main room. Even the doors feel reminiscent . Is it an exact copy, no of course not. Could it be coincidence? Sure. There is a common utility to the layout.

And yet, the moment I stepped into that ship with my first BH, I found it very.... familiar.

All a bit of tongue-in-cheek. I suppose some people hate it, but I find it kinda funny.

I always liked how in GW1 one area in Nightfall, when looking on the map, looked exactly like the Death Star from Return of the Jedi.
Actually Mabari armor was Star Wars before it was in DA. They had Mabari Armor in SWG.
ThrakenSal Blackmoor , Gunslinger, Ebon Hawk
Breggia Blackmoor, Scoundrel, Ebon Hawk
Bowen Blackmoor, Jedi Shadow, Ebon Hawk
Briahanna Blackmoor, Commando, Ebonhawk

Sounds familiar...
It sounds like every other planet in SWTOR.

War and Anti-Airguns.

It's a precursor to the Firespray-31 that KDY will eventually engineer to replace the Mantis-class cruiser in a few millenia

Bioware had to reverse-engineer the iconic class spacecraft and make prototypical variants of what would evolve to be those spacecraft.
