Judging by the numerous stories and rumours I've read here, it does seem that Volition just doesn't care about FreeSpace anymore.

I kinda hope so, in a way. As they're making something un-anounced for PS3 and XBox...

Anyway, why don't someone just contact them and get some info, wheter there are ANY survivors of the Old Volition.

There are a few. Compare their Staff Bios section on their website to the FS2 credits.

So this is what I don't understand- why didn't anyone try to contact them? You know, there's a big button on their site with a label saying 'CONTACT'.

We could just get some of the FS2 Volition fellas here to close us down explain stuff, and etc.

To kind of stop the fight:
If Semi-canon is something based on canon story, but not on canon mission scripts, than the TVWP, which describes canon events but isn't made by :V: could be considered Semi-canon.
So now you can fight more.

Also- I'd vote Triton because a group can cover each other with flak guns and Subachs, making a convoy of Tri's a rather safe place to be.

P.S.

[rant]There is no such thing as semi-canon. Only canon and non-canon. TVWP is non-canon. The UNE is non-canon. The Reliant is non-canon. The Chronos being pre-FS1 is non-canon. I absolutely hate it when people elevate things over others, like Derelict and Inferno to name a few. It just, I dunno, pisses me off when people say that stuff that is non-canon is canon.[/rant]

I think he meant things that are mentioned or iluded to in canon.  we all know that some form of the TVW happened.

To join the fight for good:
Inferno and most other mods aren't based on canon, so I agree with them being non-canon.
But a mod that tells something that's considered canon shouldn't be in the same category as one that creates is own storyline IMHO.

Except TVWP creates it's own storyline... just because it's based upon events that are refered to ingame doesn't mean it magically gains canon status. I have to agree with Snail on this one.

Then every campaign out there even remotely linked with the FreeSpace storyline (read, every non-TC campaign and then some...) is "semi-canon" according to that logic.

To put it mildly, Inferno of all things would be considered "semi-canon".

There is no semi-canon. There is only canon and non-canon.

You're wrong! IMO the following campaigns are canon:
Inferno
Derelict
my campaign

Because they all rock!

Also the Lilith can't be canon because it's overpowered, so the Lilith can be semi-canon or non-canon.
