[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] Thanks for clearing it up, Mim, I was a bit... confusing last night. OK, I don't say I'm not cunfusing all the time, but last night cretain circumstances made me sound a bit weird. The thing about canon and non-canon can be debated to death without any result. What I wanted to point out is the fact that programs like the Starship Creator give the information as if they were canon. There'S nothing that could violate real canon stuff, just small additions to give some characters a background. Take some ships from the encyclopedia as an example: Even if it might be just a 'suggestion' that the starship Yellowstone from DS9 was a Sequoia-class ship with the registry NCC-xxxxx, and I doubt anyone bothers using this stuff for future episodes, Okuda wrote it as if it was a canon fact. Several times, he doesn't make a difference what's official and what's just his imagination. Basically, he could have written that the ship was commanded by Captain so-and-so, participated in the battle to retake DS9 and was assigned to scan this-or-that nebula thereafter. Same type of info - non-canon, but we as a community wouldn't bother treating it like canon information. And I think it's a similar case here; they just give some more background information (while they are coincidentially the same guys who appeared in the above example, namely Okuda and Sternbach), and as soon as something contradicts stuff that has been made canon, it can be changed. I'd say that's the point. Why don't we go as far as to accept it, at last until it's not longer acceptable. And this Ulysses crashed in '53, to be precise, which leaves enough room for another ship to be built and put into service. And I can assure you, the levels featuring the ship and your mission to get the orb back (which is another tie-in to a DS9 novel series) are in my opinion the best and not at all out of scale. If I find my savegames, I'll make some screenshots. ;) (The ship from A2 was the USS Caddebostan, BTW. :) ) [/QB][/QUOTE]
