Lets make a project where we can create what Voilition left out.
how and where subspace works? Star charts that show jumpoints in systems, planets natural resources, colonies, history, Exactly like the plot line for the FPS project in 2001.
Everybody can vote :yes: or :no:. of course this sounds........
lets just see what could happen. and its just a thought. :)
As for mods for different games. not interested just kind of like a universal understanding of the FS2, 1, ST. this would be cool and not really impossible but really Voilition is not really going to give us anymore than what we got.  Or maybe a page different opinions that make sense and majority agree's. Again this is just a request. Give me opinions, not spam, and don't throw me in a pit.:nervous: :)

I'd help out with some of it, if we're just pulling stuff out our asses...

This could be pretty useful though, just so other people making later campaigns wouldn't have to make it up.

I say:

Moved to the FS2 General forum. It's a good - though ambitious - idea. Best of luck with it :)

Look, I'll level with you. Unless you get a load of the experienced fellows around here to put together some really professional-looking documents then people are largely going to ignore this as far as being 'canon' goes. Sure it might make for imteresting reading but I doubt it would become some sort of reference material without... well no, I just plain doubt it. Sorry, but there you go. We've seen such phenomenon in the past.

I dunno. If it was done, and looked official, and was weaved in with official plot stuff, it could become mostly accepted... except for post FS2 timelines of course.

Isn't this what the FSURP is supposed to be?

That is why we need pretty much everyone go for it.
FSURP, I believe they have the oringinal info and then stuff from people's campaigns.
HLP could set up a vote on the main page where people will vote :yes: or:no: for the project.:)

NO, if you look the website, it's based on the regular plot and campaigns. I'm proposing one based on popular opinion.;)

Um, if it's based on the regular plot and campaigns, then it's official.

If it's based on popular opinion, then it's not official.

The first marked is generally explained in the Freespace 2 Tech Room under "Subspace".

Other than that, I don't see a whole lot of difference between this idea and FSURP.

I agree with you on subspace, sorry.
But the FPS gave this kind of info. pretty much what I talking about.

And it's based on peoples campaigns. so if we do it it would be the same, just a majority agrees it to be final and it would based on ideas from the community. So it would a campaign idea, but not a campaign sort of thing.

GTA Historical Overiew

The first faction of humanity in a pan-system scale was the Mutual Trader's Conglomerate founded shortly after the Jovian contra crisis. Designed to regulate trade and to limit the power of reaction mass foundaries, the MTC grew in power.

With the end of the 20th century, the democratic world learned the hard lesson of alien mindsets and conflicting views. A united front of the western and moderate nations waged a silent war for over a century against the extremes which could be imagined.

At the height of a summit of these groups, the greatest extreme occured. Probes sent to explore nearby star systems discovered communication transmissions of an ultra-low wavelength. Though they were never deciphered it was clear that they were not of human origin.

The MTC at this period of time had reinforced it's assets with a defense fleet for mercantile vessels. As Jasen Whiteside perfected the sub-space drive, the MTC gained the rights to this technology and had a stranglehold on the true Galactic market.

A global consolidation of forces was massed, and a silent trade war with the MTC and Earth-interests was waged. The results of this time period were the first colonies beyond Sol and the exploration period.

With the Serpentis succession ten years after the colony's founding, the MTC turned to the League of Terran Nations to reclaim it's main holding of the frontier and lost power in a trade comprimise with the Serpentian Consul.

The end result was the first of the several treaties which founded the Galactic Terran Alliance.

* - If a moon of a given planet is inhabited, the planet is considered inhabited in the above figures.
** - Most of Antares has been evacuated as of May, 2329. The numbers above do not reflect this.
Fundamental differences exist between Humans and Vasudans not only physically, but mentally. This fact became clear in the first fleet engagements between the two species, but became shockingly apparent in the first ground conflicts.

That conflicts with the TVWP.:D

But see, this would have problems, as you don't know every project's secret storyline.

All I see on the FSURP website is stuff that will someday be filled with history related stuff. How is going into each system and finding stuff about iit, and posting as much info as possible like that?

Read the sentence before it.

All I've seen on FSURP other than the tech entries for GTVA, HOL, stuff like that (most of which are empty BTW) is stuff about history. This wouldn't be history...it would be all the info about the systems in a certain time span.

I thought we got over this whole 'making up canon'  bit a long time ago. Nobody is going to agree, and it's kinda dumb anyways, so wouldn't it just be better to think of your own then write it in a story/campaign?

ya, it is a pretty stupid idea. I guess I just had another one of my moments. Well off to to another forum. Don't worry, I really think about it next time I post something.:)

The whole reason so many Mods are underway at the moment is thanks to the fact that a lot of details are fuzzy. No matter what you try, there will ALWAYS be people who will refuse to accept it.
I like the fact that FS2 has a lot of question marks, it's given rise to a massive variance of different Mods and plot ideas. Even FS2U's timeline after Capella cannot be accepted by ALL mods, and this is where the problems will seep in.
The FS2U project will only be as 'canon' as people wish for it to be, and the same with anything produced here.
While I think it is a worthwhile idea, I don't think it would go down too well with some of the Mods.
