Title: Stuff I think aren't canon

However, a Sathanas is still more than able to defend itself and project offensive power via the many hundreds of fighters and bombers it carries in its cavernous hangar.

Actually there's no evidence for Sathanas having more than 100 fighters (which is minimal count basing on what we've seen in-game).

Its wiki... so... fix it. And if you want to comment the fix use the relevant talk page.

Remember though that non-canon stuff is allowed in the Veteran Comments... I didn't know that until after I tried to delete some of them

We need to add an Expanded Universe portal or something.

I don't think so; people would end up adding their own fanfic stuff, making up statistics on the top of their heads.

I agree. A non-canon universe wiki would be filled with fake  stuff that no one could take as fact. It would be too hard to edit

That is not what I meant.  Look up the term "Expanded Universe". :doubt:

What I'm suggesting is a portal for BWO, a portal for Inferno, etc.  So if you looked up "EASD Nemesis" you could get an article on the Nemesis from Inferno.  It wouldn't be part of the official FreeSpace universe, but it would be part of the expanded universe that Inferno developed.

You mean something like the TC zone, but about the various campaigns? I think it's a good idea.

I would say the same of the Colossus. Actually, the Sathanas has a particular shape that may allow it to carry many spacecraft. I bet the Sathanas carries more spacecraft than the Colossus.

...er, except for the cinematic which tells us exactly how many wings of fighters and bombers the Colossus carries.

OK  Goober now that I understand what you meant (my fault, not yours) I think that it would be a good idea

Which is as canon as anything that is mentioned/shown in FS.

My mistake...I was meaning something like this:

Giving the design and what he see of the fighterbay from the outside, the Colossus seems not to carry so many spacecraft. We know from the cutscene that it carries 60 wings. I bet that the Sathanas carries even more wings.
