There still appear to be many people who think that pod-controlled ships have no crews, that capsuleers permanently live in their pods, and other things and I get tired of digging up facts, sometimes ambiguous fictional sources, and dev quotes to disprove them. It would be really awesome if there was a definitive "setting facts" sticky that set the record straight all in one convenient place.
I'm not talking about answering unanswered questions like the true agenda of the Jovians or other intentionally mysterious things, but things that have been answered by CCP, albeit spread out over many places.
Agree/disagree?

Seconded, a good piece of fiction can be ruined by a single factual error, a basic rundown of the canon would be useful.

The EVE gate itself is another one that gets mixed stories. In brief I've heard the following: -Humans begun construction of a massive stargate to link both ends of the wormhole -The wormhole collapsed once severing the link with Earth/Milky Way but then collapsed big time (again) and this was when the stargate was destroyed and the New Eden system -The wormhole is still open you just can't go near it because of the cosmic forces at work. -They knew the EVE gate would collapse -They didn't know the EVE gate would collapse
I'd sit there and quote the posts but as you can see, it's quite chaotic. It'd be nice to have the old introduction video return also, that certainly helped with conveying the story.

Much of these 'rumors' come from the old backstory information which seems to have been taken off the site (the backstory section used to take forever to read, but was amazingly well-done). I will try to confirm and deny what I know of.
Originally by: Davin Forsosa The EVE gate itself is another one that gets mixed stories. In brief I've heard the following: -Humans begun construction of a massive stargate to link both ends of the wormhole -The wormhole collapsed once severing the link with Earth/Milky Way but then collapsed big time (again) and this was when the stargate was destroyed and the New Eden system
Believe this was true. It isn't so much that the wormhole collapsed twice so much as that the "stargate" was unable to handle the strain of keeping the wormhole permanently open after the natural forces sustaining it failed.
Quote:
-The wormhole is still open you just can't go near it because of the cosmic forces at work.
TI don't quite remember if the old descriptions said it was still open, but it is clear that there is some extaorinary phenominon at work in the location of the EVE gate; whether this is the continued existence of the wormhole or other spacial oddities I don't know.
Quote:
-They knew the EVE gate would collapse -They didn't know the EVE gate would collapse
Not sure here, but given that many colonies starved and died after the gate collapsed, I'm placing bets on "didn't know".
Also, seconding that on he old intro video. At least put it up in the videos section of the site! ----------------------------------------------
Say "Amarr ships suk, lol." I dare you.

A sticky on this subject would be great! But you know somebody has to write it don't you? You can't simply request it into existence.

Well, if you guys want to compile a list/FAQ, I can take it back to the Storyline team, see about getting whatever we can answered, and then about getting it stickied.
Edit: If there's conflicting information on something, add it to our to-do list here.

A good-faith effort to show any progress over the last ten months would go a long way to getting people interested in contributing there. --
