and yet we are always reminded that the gargant is not the biggest warship in the shivan armada. What could this possibly mean?? :D

I once heard of a name: behemoth. (nothing in common with the cain in FS2).

Speaking of warships and warships alone, the Gargant's the biggest and the toughest of them all...

The SC Behemoth was a Rakshasa, not a Cain :P

I :doubt: that the Gigas could fit through a Knossos.

Can the Gargant fit into a Knossos?
I've got two comments for that.  First, I seem to recall that the Gargant, like the Gigas, has an internalized Knossos system, so it wouldn't need one to make a jump through an unstable or collapsed node.  Second, that statement could very easily lead the discussion towards a thread locking.  :nervous:

If you take the ending a certain way in Freespace 2, then the Sathanas can make intersystem jumps without using nodes at all. The Shivans don't need a Knossos, period. All their ships can travel through unstable nodes. Remember when it said that in Freespace 2? The Shivans have been known to have traveled through uncharted nodes and nodes too unstable for Terran and Vasudan vessels. Then it goes to say that command thinks they are as dependent on jump nodes as the alliance is. But it said that during the Great War, they may have made intersystem jumps without using nodes in Ikeya, Ross 128, etc. Like when they somehow circumvented Terran/Vasudan blockades like it said a breifing in FS1. Then at the ending cutscene of Capella blowing up, it is revealed that the Sathanas and maybe some vessels lower in class can make intersystem jumps without using nodes. Why can't the community see that they can make these jumps without nodes? I'm sure Volition intended us to take it that way when we see the Sathanas' jump out of the system without using nodes before the Capella star explodes. They return to Shivan space without a node or jump from that point of the capella system to Gamma Draconis through the node but not directly into it (maybe an intra/intersystem jump in one. As long as one node exists in the system "unstable or not" they can make an intra/intersystem jump at the same time). Jump from any part of the Capella system and into any part of the Gamma Draconis system. Like the effects of an inter and intrasystem jump rolled into one making it so you can jump from Capalla into Gamma Draconis in one step instead of 3 steps. I'm sure that Volition put the "Skeptics argue that the Shivans made intersystem jumps without using nodes" comment in the command breifing towards the end for a reason. Maybe the Shivans only use this ability in extreme emergencies though since it may consume a lot of energy, which would explain why they didn't use the ability until the end. In other words, creating temporary intersystem nodes for one time travel in front of the ship like at the end of Freespace 2 when they escaped. The ability to create subspace. Afterall, didn't the ending of FS1 say that Shivans can rebuild jump points back to Earth if they wanted to (the Shivans can rebuild them)? Like they can create nodes? They seem to be powerful enough to make them since they can blow up stars using subspace. Shivans may have created subspace itself? Who knows? Since they demonstrated a great ability to use subspace, it isn't far fetched to say they can do much more with subspace. Maybe subspace energy is what powers their vessels and they either somehow create subspace (subspace energy) or can manipulate subspace in anyway you can imagine.

Maybe the community can't see this because you don't use any paragraph breaks! Paragraphs, man, paragraphs.

Also, we have no idea whether the Saths were actually making some kind of intersystem jump at the end of FS2. It's an assumption.

In the same manner scientific articles do not need paragraphs, since they most often handle just one issue.

Not having paragraphs is exhausting for the reader. You need those tiny little breaks so that you can "breathe" for a while before continuing to read.
