So..double standards here.. When something from the game goes along with a theroy of yours (regardless how unrealstic, stupd or how likely it is to be a mistake made by [V]) tehn you shout - "But it's canon! It's canon!"
What double standard? The animation contradicts ITSELF as to how fast the supernova travels. If you want to shout that the cutscene is canon I can too. The amount of time it takes for the leading edge of the supernova explosion to pass from one side of the ringed planet to the other is roughly the time it would take a shockwave moving at lightspeed. So it's also canon that the shockwave is moving at lightspeed.
I took great pains to point out this fact earlier but you completely ignored it to go off on a rant about how I was ignoring canon. I'm doing nothing of the sort. The cutscene makes it crystal clear that the shockwave is moving both faster than light AND slower than light.
There is a difference between disregarding evidence because I don't like it and disregarding it because it contradicts itself. But you don't care because as I stated in response to your previous comment this is nothing to do with the speed of the Supernova and everything to do with the fact that you think you've found some canon fact I've got wrong with which you can extract some petty little revenge for previous threads.
Which is why you completely disregarded my previous post (Where I had already rebutted any comments you made in this one) and went straight to claiming you'd found a flaw in my logic and that I was discarding canon evidence that the shockwave is FTL.
Absolutely pathetic!
I don't care how wrong the cuscene probably is - it's in the game - it's canon!
Yes. The in game cutscene canonically puts the shockwave at a different speed from the in game cutscene. And also from the final mission. So now we have 3 canon speeds for the shockwave. I'm well within my rights to simply pick whichever one is the most sensible.
And yes, I know that FTL explosions prolly aren't possible in the FS universe, but I don't recall anything from the game - the mission or cutscene in particular that defies the cutscene.
Except all the stuff in my half page post which point out exactly where the game defies a FTL shockwave
EDIT : And I notice you didn't answer my question about how far out the ringed gas planet actually is. It's a reasonable question. The fact that the supernova reached it in 3 seconds means bugger all if it's 9x10^8 metres away from Capella.
