Yeah, the Volition thing. You're right on that.

No one ever said that it wasn't. The debate was over non-canon that existed with no links to anything else.

Let's take Derelict, for example. Derelict, while taking place after the events in FS2-Retail, does not try to explain what happened at Capella. Rather, it deals with what WOULD be known. A whole lot of people needing a new place to live.
The big campaign developers out there have done a terrific job of leaving the Great Mysteries of the FS universe (Shivan origins and motives, Bosch, Capella, etc) as what they are: Mysteries. But there are so many other places where there's more than enough room to fill in the storyline. Particularly in Sol: A History. A great theory on what happened back in Sol during the space between FS1 and FS2. Brilliant. Lots of side-stories that can be filled in, or actually presented (the attack at Ross128, etc). I guess I'd like to see these campaigns get recognized in a timeline or reference. Sort of a way of saying to players who are feeling pretty spiffy about beating FS2-Retail "By the way, that's not all."
I've never heard anyone say "Man, I just played Homesick. Blaise Russell is off his rocker, there's no WAY that could happen."

We do and will; it's called the 'campaigns' section. This was discussed a few pages back; gist is, the context of campaigns as seperate, diverging universes with their own canonical realm means it's justifiable to include them. The issue was the likes of the SM - being the best example - because (IMO) they're essentially fanfic. Check back into the depths of the thread.

Wouldn't it figure that I would miss that, dammitall. My apologies, and thank you for the correction.
