Heh. Interesting alternate intro video. Though, I can see why it was scrapped. Takes away all the mystery.
I think the Gallia sleeper ship could have been built during the time between the launch of the first five and the last stand on Pluto. As for the rest of the plot holes...
A wizard did it.

I wrote that text.
It's basically just a representation of what the inhabitants of Sirius know in-RP. Sure, we've all seen the extended intro, we know what happened - but our characters don't. Light takes quite a while to travel, too, so it was only very recently that the Sun's final blast of light reached us.

Actually, yes we do. It's about 800 light years from Crete according to Igiss.

IMPOSSIBLE!
CASE IN POINT: THE CORSAIR SYSTEMS
There is a system, forget its name, but its very close to gamma, that has a distant galaxy visible (one of those spiral ones) in the skybox. But in gamma, the said galaxy is 3x larger in the sky. By calculating the parralax you see we have at least 25,000ly of GAP between these two adjacent systems.
The entire freelancer universe is totally foobared anyway as far as scale, and consistency, go.
Was a Skype conversation, sorry. I'm not sure if Igiss ever made a public statement about this issue; maybe you can find something in the dev forums, look it up.
Without cannon documents on such statements, how can we be expected to produce consistent aarpee? Answer? We're not. What we write, think, and imagine, is not intended to have any impact on the mod, or the world we're working in. We're squatters in a rich man's house, scribbling on the walls in wash away markers. Gallia is just as plausible as it might not be, as we simply don't have a background on the information. Is there a lore document, or are we all working freehand in our own imaginations. Well, our imaginations, surely.
Why anyone would write for this godforesaken mess is beyond me, and I bloody write for it. Or I write about it, and stories in it, which as far as I can see is more or less the same monster...still. The world is full of far too much unexplained, unjustified hooplah, and frankly, the act of writing for it, performing rp in it, is wasted creation on the part of 99.9% of the people involved.
Course, I likely shouldn't be writing Fanfiction off an author I despise...
/end rant.
