Interstellar Players 3: Interstellar Expeditions Info

I am making this note for anyone adding further information to this article. I reframed from adding information from ISP3 Interstellar Expeditions due to fact largely due to nature of this plot book/source book. The book is considered to be semi/quasi-canon, other words its canon is as solid as other sources because its a "What-If" book. It does not specify last time I looked at it, what is solid canon and what isn't. I'm sure Von Strang's World information could be solid canon, but i didn't want to chance it. -- Wrangler (talk) 05:02, 25 June 2014 (PDT)

What makes you say it's a What-If book/semi-canon? I figured it's a fully canonical in-universe sourcebook. ISP and ISP2 both explicitly state that their content should be taken with a grain of salt; not so ISP3, which is presented as a no-nonsense corporate file. Frabby (talk) 13:56, 25 June 2014 (PDT)

The "How to use this book" section of ISP3 confirms it is the same as the earlier ISPs and the Jihad Hot Spot books, its a mix of truth and "optional elements" which are are true until proven otherwise. On that basis I believe we should include the info still, perhaps using some language along the lines of "IE's sources indicate/believe", and update as/if any new info comes to dispute/dispel it as per any new trumps old source.Cyc (talk) 15:22, 25 June 2014 (PDT)

Please read this post on the Bg.Battletech forums and consider things. In short, how we suppose to know what is accurate and what is not?. -- Wrangler (talk) 11:17, 26 June 2014 (PDT)

We don't.... until a later book tells us so, same as with the earlier ISPs and the Jihad Hot Spots. Think of it like The Periphery (sourcebook), Luthien! or the original Objective Raids, we know its of questionable providence but until later sources dispute and supersede it, its canon as far as we know.Cyc (talk) 15:01, 26 June 2014 (PDT)
