Anyone else notices that in FS1, whenever a nodemap animation is shown early in the game, Sol appears to have three jump nodes leading to other systems?
Just thought it was a little strange.

Jeff Vader · **Reply #1 on:** July 20, 2008, 07:44:10 am

Yes. Everyone has noticed that.

There is also an article about it in the Wiki.

Jake2447 · **Reply #2 on:** July 20, 2008, 09:10:58 am

Has anyone figured why that is?
I mean, that seems like a huge mistake.

3? i thought there were 2, Deneb and Serpentis.

Jeff Vader · **Reply #4 on:** July 20, 2008, 09:46:52 am

3. Beta Aquilae, Delta Serpentis and Deneb. Those could be seen during FS1, in someintel anims. But in FS2, for some reason, the only node ever mentioned was the one between Sol and Delta Serpentis, which naturally happens to be the one where the Lucy was destroyed.

Apparently they all collapsed when the Lucifer exploded. The ending cutscene says "All the jump points from earth are destroyed" or something like that

3. Beta Aquilae,

so that raises an interesting question why didn't the lucy just shoot through to sol instead of heading through Serpentis then onto Sol?. i doubt the Shivans are that dumb.

Black Wolf · **Reply #7 on:** July 20, 2008, 10:35:47 am

There's no evidence the Shivans actually knew where they were going. They had several opportunities to take more direct routes to Sol, which they ignored.

Well, they're Shivans. Even admiral Shima said that the strategies of the Shivans are hard to predict. It is occasionally hard to tell what they're gonna do and why. Take the events prior to the destruction of Vasuda, for example. The Lucifer fleet circumvented the blockade at Antares. Well, it sounds reasonable, but it is weird that they would have done that since the Lucifer could have just rammed and pwned the whole blockade with one eye closed. And if the Sol-Deneb node existed, the Shivans could have used it already at that point. But they didn't.

is it just me... or some of you have noticed that shivans in FS1 seem a little more "inteligent" elavorating traps and things like that, but in FS2 they seem just... annoyed and they attack randomly and using brutal force every time.. nothing like a set up or so, well unleast I dont remeber any mission like that in FS2..

Droid803 · **Reply #10 on:** July 20, 2008, 11:55:07 am

Well, because in FS2, the Shivans didn't really have a single Übership that couldn't be killed.
"The Great Hunt" (FS2) could be argued as a trap. Luring two corvettes into the jaws of the SD Ravana using two cruisers.
But there's no "wtf, how'd they get there!?" moments.

Uh, no, that was a GTVA trap.

Command wanted to draw out the Ravana, not vice versa.

Droid803 · **Reply #12 on:** July 20, 2008, 01:56:51 pm

And we all know how well that worked out for the GTVA. They lost...how many ships before the Ravana actually went down?
(Hint: More than the Shivans)

Jeff Vader · **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2008, 01:57:44 pm

But they did find it. And that was the plan.

Snail · **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:00:25 pm

They wanted to find it, they probably thought it would be a Demon or something.

Al Tarket · **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:05:19 pm

the problem was, the Shivans anticipated the attack and acted accordingly, and because they had several hundred juggernaughts, it makes you wonder how many cains, rakshasas, ravanas, manticores or nahemas their are. the Shivans had nothing to worry about. so it was advantage Shivans, as Shivans already had a trap in the works. the Capella supernova was the result plus a heavily crippled GTVA alliance.

Droid803 · **Reply #16 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:06:43 pm

"It's a Trap!"
"For which side?"
"I don't know~!"

Al Tarket · **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:11:15 pm

you are right after all. its good to speculate a bit on such a subject

When talking about the events of FS2, the canon number is "over 80". Just wanted to point that out.

Al Tarket · **Reply #19 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:20:55 pm

how can you be certain though? canon is just a reference from one point, it doesn't mean its 100% accurate
