I seem to remember Firefly as making an effort to fit all the sets into the shape the ship was supposed to take

Not just the sets but the camera, too. Whedon wanted the audience to feel like they were in the space, so they wouldn't do the usual tricks of removing walls to set the camera up for stuff like hallway shots. If you watch on the longer shots where they move through the ship you can see the actors turn their shoulders slightly when they pass the camera cause they're squeezing around the corner of the hallway.

That's funny because Serenity never really made sense to me as a ship. Was it supposed to be a cargo ship? The cargo capacity seems pretty low. It also seems to have too many crew members for a ship of that size, and especially to care for that little cargo. It also had an infirmary, which doesn't really make sense on a small cargo ship.

Still, even though the ship didn't really make sense to me as a viable vehicle for a real business, it did make sense as a bunch of connected rooms, so that part they did well.
