Is this project wing commander living universe (with fuzzy edges like time lines and such), or wing commander collection of mini games universe? Or are we not going to use (psudo) real time? I personally think that sticking to a X happens in Z year is the worst mistake you can make. I do think that most (if not all) the major events should happen but forcing a time line would be railroading the player. I personally belive that if all the major events happen in more or less the same order then the exact dates shouldn't be that important. Though some events (galaxy spanning wars and such) should happen based on a speicifc time and if the player misses it (after much hints and prodding) then he missis it too bad so sad.
Well thats at least one example I can think of that sticking to the canon would be a mistake (did I use it correctly? been 36 hours no sleep and a little hypothermia from riding all night).
