It has a bunch of FS stuff such as concept art, cutscene scripts (inc a bunch of stuff that was cut from the final release because of time constraints) and other general knowledge stuff about FS.  You can download it here.

And, also of note, the FSRB is all canon.

(Except where it clashes with in game material - I forget which overrides the other.)

The game wins, obviously.

What, like the error in the FS1 cbanims showing three nodes to Sol?

as you said: it's an error

The bible makes no reference to jumpnodes, so the statements from V take presidence here.

How about this: Uninhabited nodes or ones that have no direct military interest are not shown on the GTVA map. For example, the Nebula is not on the map, neither is the system beyond it. Gamma Draconis was probably not there (somebody with FS1 confirm), before the Shivan incursion there. In short, the GTVA map on the Aquitaine ignores areas it's not overly concerned with because too many nodes would make it messy and hard to read. Thus, the uninhabited Tania(or whatever) system is ignored in FreeSpace 2.

Of course it's set in "Enbra" not Glasgow so I'm sure it's completely different...

Nice idea.  But there's no real way to prove that as I can't seem to find an old node map from FS1 anywhere.  That's probably the best excuse though.

Thanks. I get lots of practice BSing out here

no it's not. I gave a plausible explanation for that once.
It went like this:
There were three jumpnodes from sol (as depicted in FS1 nodemap). However those 2 others were far less stable (i.e. minor nodes) than the main one (the one the Lucifer used).
After the Lucifer collapsed, all three nodes went with it. But there were some diffences though. The 2 minor ones dissappeared/became so unstable that they no longer showed up on sensors (or wathever). The main node became unstable but was still visible on sensors (as an unstable node ofcourse).

This gives you an explanation why there are 3 nodes in FS1 and only 1 in FS2 while staying completely withing the Freespace Universe logic.
It also explaines why the Sol-Delta Serpentis node would be used to construct a Knossos portal and not one of the other nodes...
I know there are a lot of 'errors' around, but it is more interesting to find an explanation that is plausible to explain why something is there at one point and gone the next... Explaining entire solar systems away is, of course, impossible
