Of course we all agree that the offical   canon is FS1 --> ST --> F2
But the community has created so much campaigns, stories and ships set in the freespace universe that i've started to 'accept certain things into canon' (or fanon if you will).
For example, I pretty much accepted the GTD Titan&Raynor as the next generation GTVA destroyers. I'll probably also start considering the Terran-Vasudan mod as a 'canon' addition to the freespace story line (minus the lack of sensors, since thats just kinda silly) etc.

Edit: Apparantly from the reactions im getting on the chat I should feel bad for creating this thread. As a disclaimer, my aim was merely to have a bit of friendly discussion on what you personally feel would be a worthy addition to the canon story.

Well, the way I see it, each mod branches off into it's own storyline, and I for one wouldn't take fanwankery as cannon anytime soon, unless it was real damn good fanwankery.

[The E]

If it comes from :V:, it's canon. If it doesn't, it's not. Full stop.

[Akalabeth Angel]

The only thing worthy of being canon is the Second Great War Part 2

[castor]

Canon is not subjective (or at least tries not to be).

[Goober5000]

Maybe we can rephrase the question:

If you were going to make your own campaign, what fanon elements would you include?

I guess thats a good rephrase, since Castor, Akalabeth, E and G all apparantly didn't really get it

Oh I got it I was just being a sarcastic twit.

If you want to go along with that question, I guess my answer is already Derelict given my own campaign had some alluded to that story. But in reality the only reasons those were in there was because I wanted to use the Saphah and give nod to the creators thereof. But I'm intending to drop that whole connection now so at the moment my answer would be "none".

And likely it will remain none. I usually like to do my own thing so basing my campaign on someone else's stuff seems unlikely.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

ST:R likely, since it's close to what did and real cool. Derelict maybe, only if it would fit my mod's storyline.

[NGTM-1R]

Lessee.

I'm pretty sure I've posted most of it at one point or another...

Build your own GTVA warship.
Shivan strategy and tactics.
Tactics in the Subspace Age.

[Black Wolf]

I have my own (largely unpublicized) "canon" where I set all my campaign idea's and whatnot around, based primarily on the TI storyline and shoehorning together a few other ideas I've had over the years. I don't think I've ever come across any other campaigns I've felt the urge to integrate with.

I should write it all down at some point, even if nobody else is ever likely to read it.

[Snail]

Probably the FSPort campaign changes, Blaise Russel's campaigns, etc.

If Mad Bomber's fanon didn't clash with STR, probably that too.

[Topgun]

Fsport
TVWP
and ST:R

[Kie99]

Derelict would have been a fine expansion pack to FS2, it's on par with any of the original campaigns, Sync (if not for the Knossos in the Nebula plothole), Homesick and Transcend also.  Despite that, I wouldn't say they would be worth of being FS3, they're not large enough in scope and use almost exclusively ships from the first two games.  The only ones, to my knowledge at least, that even approach that level of ambition are Blue Planet and Inferno, and while they're decent campaigns, I don't see them as being on the same level as the ones I mentioned before.

[Asteroth]

Well, the way I see it, each mod branches off into it's own storyline, and I for one wouldn't take fanwankery as cannon anytime soon, unless it was real damn good fanwankery.

I would consider some campaigns marginally better than :V:

[mxlm]

Rocks fall everyone dies; there is no story that ending would not improve.

[Ace]

Rocks fall everyone dies; there is no story that ending would not improve.

Nah, that's still better than "Give up all technology, live in a cave, and god did it."

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Canon:
-

Fanon:
- Everything else

[eliex]

While most fan-made mods branch out into their own individual plotlines, there are eras where FS canon has touched on very vaguely; I would consider them canon if only to fill the missing story. 

[Stormkeeper]

My canon; I have so many alternate canon universes, it makes my head spin.
