I have not been opposed to changing the setting a little when its called for- Earth exists for me, its just cut off from the Frontier and not in contact. Also mytime line project tackled a lot of continuity issues. However, I strove to make the changes that I made Zero Sum- in that the Frontier was still materially the same despite the change or to put it another way the change was in story not in number of space stations or militia ships or the colonist of a planet.<br /><br />I was considering some material changes for the Venture in Diplomacy thread: a new jump route and a new trade station. I had advocated Zero Sum Change as a way of fixing problems and embellishing the story but not actually changing the canon setting so that when we discussed the canon setting we were all on the same page so that in the middle of a discussion someone didn't say, "Wait, Athor doen't have a trade station, what are you talking about?"<br /><br />So the question is as we all go forward with modlue writing and publishing them in the various fan magazines are there sacred cows that should not be touched in the setting? <br /><br />Can the setting be materailly changed in these modules? <br /><br />Will material changes be accepted by the community?<br /><br />Should something like Zero Sum change be the gold standard? Meaning change is ok but as long as it is not matterial or radil change.<br /><br /><br /><br />
