I'm resurrecting this - the site will contain information about each system in the FS universe and the major events pertaining to it.
Right now - I have no info on the systems history, this is where you all come in (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
I'd like as much info on the systems as possible, and i'll be using Icefire's map as a base. Just so's you know (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Welcome back to the fold dude, I'm really looking forward to this project. If I can get any research done on systems I'll let you know, but here ("http://gtxdexcalibur.simplenet.com/excalibur/main/data.htm") might help a little (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Please use the REAL (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) map.

Sorry, that was actually my bad - I was talking to Shadowman about this earlier and thought that the one created by Icefire was the one accepted as bible by the community. Ah well, use the V one then (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Shall we get into the Canon versus fanfic thing again? The fact that the WZ map is accepted is simply because most people are too lazy to make up their own systems. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Someone was making a 3d map I think (i.e. in a scene)......

As Thunder linked to an old page of mine, please talk to me on any FS data you need, especially more vague details.
I'll stick to canon, don't worry, that site was done when Ice first finished the nodemap before it was the Warzone-Derelict chart. (it was first the Warzone-Trinity nodemap, a longer range project which has been spit up and chewed into tBE)
For anything on Shivans, talk to me, IceFire, or Plasma, overall we assume that our data on them is rather accurate as Ice has analyzed the FS plot to death, Plasma has written on the Shivans quite well in his past fiction, and my speculations have proven very accurate.
Anyhow, now for an overdue prickish comment (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Hehe, fair enough...
I'd also like to point out that we want a nodemap acurate to the FS universe, not with new systems in it that someone made up on the spur of the moment. Additional nodemaps could be used for any important added systems, but one with modified systems shouldn't be used for a basic FS nodemap in this project IMO (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Ok, well - I'll take the volition map & just use that one, and once that part of the project is well underway - I'll see about making another map containing the user-created systems and history.
For now, i just need a listing of the historical events that played out in each system (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) I've got some information - but need more!

Ummm... see my Ship List at http://michael.randelman.com/ ("http://michael.randelman.com/") --> FS2 --> Notes --> The Complete FS2 Ship List (towards bottom).
It lists all the ships that are referred to in the game, where, when, etc.
Hmmm.... maybe we can integrate things... :thoughtful: (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

After all that fuss about creating a single background plot, Shrike, stay consistent!
You won't find any real stuff on all the systems, but I can make up long bull stories about the systems, for a free sample see the LB data section... Got a Sirius one in line, too.

I'm right.
You're wrong.

The Hammer of Light was begining attacks in GTA space without intervention of the VPE and the discovery of the Altair artifacts hungered scientists, this caused the GTD Bastion on a highly sensitive mission into the Hammer of Light home worlds to gain control of artifacts or a database that could have more information on sub-space. The GTD Bastion was destroyed but the mission was still successful.
This needs to be changed. The Bastion was destroyed in 2367 collapsing the Capella -> Epsilon Pegasi jump node.

Um, wtf? All I said was that I wanted the standard FS2 map to be used. Where's the inconsistancy there?

Plus, the NTF rebellion was already 18 months old in 2367.

I thought there was already one?

FSURP, one hell of a project. I tried to start one some time back, but I lost all passion for Freespace at that point and it died. I do have some stuff, I'll see about zipping and e-mailing it to you if you want it.

Go to Blizzard Entertainment ("http://www.blizzard.com") and look for it. There are the rest of the other NPCs from the 5 Acts. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
