A Knossos can lock down the nodes. You build a Knossos to stop the Shivans.

Uh...I don't think they do. They just stabilize, don't they? Turning it off won't destabilize, unless the node was unstable to begin with.

Might be. But we don't know if the Knossos can also lock down nodes, so you can't fully say that it's not canon. Well, I have the story different about the Knossos in that system anyway.

We also don't know if the Shivans were just trying to say "Happy holidays!" when they blew Capella up, so you can't fully say that that is not canon.

Feel free to make up your own things on your own campaigns, but don't refer to them in discussions where canon evidence has a high meaning.

Alright. But present me with canon evidence that a Knossos can't lock down nodes.

Re: How far away is the Fs2 nebula?
Because the GTVA decided to blow it up rather than to just shut it off/use it to lock the node in "A Flaming Sword"?

[sarcasm]Yea, they so made the Knossos gates and fully knew about their functionality. They knew EVERYTHING about the Knossos gates, and had time to shut them down if they knew that.[/sarcasm]

Re: How far away is the Fs2 nebula?
Alright. But present me with canon evidence that a Knossos can't lock down nodes.
Right after you've presented me with canon evidence that the Vasudans didn't evolve from the platypus.

Or give at least the slightest canon hint towards the locking ability. There were several mentionings about the portals' ability to create a subspace field and stabilize unstable nodes. But nothing about "locking".

Edit: To put it simple and hopefully avoid further arguments... don't say "A Knossos can lock down nodes", but rather "A Knossos might be able to lock down nodes".

Re: How far away is the Fs2 nebula?
Alright. I say that a Knossos might lock down nodes, so that might be the reason why the Ancients built a Knossos after the system went supernova. After the supernova that is.

Interesting how most discussions concerning the nebula, bosch will become discussions about Knossos and eventually, how it works.

Re: How far away is the Fs2 nebula?
This is why i thought i have to make a totally new Story inside FSAR. Because that "Canon" and the Story itself was so confusing and not has been taken to an End (FS3). Now we all have to deal with 50:50 Information and our own Suggestions.

Hmmm...maybe because a Supernova might have destroyed the Knossos ?

Because a jump Node inside a empty Star System that is far of any Civilization, might be stupid... :D

As already mentioned, Knossos number 2, that's in the nebula, it wouldn't have survived the nova otherwise, so it must have been constructed after the system went nova.  :rolleyes:

Re: How far away is the Fs2 nebula?
Exactly. There is NO way a knossos could suvive a supernova. Thus system was already a nebula. Since they never identify the nebula in game, i count calling it the Lupus or Crab nebula  speculation and thus non-canon.

I suspect that the Ancients encountered  the shivans somewhere beyond Knossos 3. PEtrach only says that Knossos 1 leads to the area where the shivans were first enountered 8000 years before. No specifics.

Say a humungous Terran-Vasudan battle occured in wolf 359, I could say Ross 128 leads to the area where that battle took place.

Re: How far away is the Fs2 nebula?
This post is total speculation, if it doesn't fit in the borders of canon, it doesn't. If it does, it does.

I'd say the 1-st Knossos leads out of the Milky Way.
The second one connects that other galaxy with a third one.
And there was a 3-rd Knossos in the "Dive! Dive! Dive!" mission, which leads to...
a place where Shivans are pwning another civilisation with at least 3 Saths (possibly implying they have a jugillion of Saths, and space is full of life)?
Also- if the Shivans are a part of a bigger problem, and they spread across multiple galaxies... what exactly is that bigger problem?
