Actualy I would prefer POL to be set right after Prophecy, or maybe 30 years before P2, and be somewhat of a prequal to The Darkening. If it's before P2, we could fly some of the familiar ships, it could explain how the Tri-systems were formed, and how they got in contact with Confed again (so then no one would say P2 isn't a WC game
). I would also want it to include Pilgrims, so no one would ever bring the fact that there are no Pilgrims in the games as one of the reasons for saying the movie sucks.
If it's right after Prophecy, I'd like to have some cameos from the WC characters (for exapmle, you could encounter Spyder while your on a mission). And it would be cool if you could land on the destroyed alien ships, and take some of those little alien fighters from there and make a small profit while at it
(you would of course have to buy some vacines, or protective suits so that alien virus wouldn't get you). We could fly around the Kilrathi space collecting the alien artifacts, or sign on for a mission with Confed and go exploring in the alien space through the wormhole in Proxima.
However, having it set before the war begun would be cool. We could see the ending of the Pilgrim war, and be there for the start of the Terran-Kilrathi war. There would be a nice 30 minute long cutscene, showing something like the WC movie intro talking about the war begining, and the we could see the Ison being destroyed.
