I think the three nodes to Sol is the main reason why you have to take FS2 as canon.

FS1 says there are 3 nodes to sol. Only one could possibly have been closed by the destruction of the lucifer so Earth wouldn`t have been cut off. There would be no lost generation so the whole of FS2 (and silent threat for that matter) becomes invalid.

If you take FS2 as canon then a few missions in FS1 become suspect but nothing worse.

True, but FS1 only shows three nodes to sol one time.  The rest of the time it is only one node, so that was a mistake on 's part.  Can someone make a standard node map for all of the known space in FS2, that is accurate as much as possible to BOTH games' plots?

For the case of Betelgeuse, it needs more than one node if FS1 is to be considered valid.  I remember there being some missions in Betelgeuse, and it wouldn't make sense that it was a contested system unless if it is as isolated as it is currently shown.  I mean, how could two competing factions get ships through both the single node to Beta Cygni and the single node to Betelgeuse without engaging each other before reaching the destination system.  Contested systems must have at least one access point from a secure system of each faction, and Betelgeuse does not.  Maybe a long node that collapsed between FS1 and FS2, but it would have had to be there.

Well we could have cut off the Vasudans from backup at that node then latter on the Vasudans lonched a attack on the system and both sides would have lost of ships. I think we need to get some info from the makers of FS2.
