So I replied to your comment, but now I am a bit scared why you told me about the whole improvised "save game" feature. Did I butcher something? Is it this easy to get corrupted?

Yeah, after further debating it out, it seems like a good idea to not include such info as it is not word from the original developers, but people authorized to make glorified fan stories. It is pretty much the same situation as Armagon and Dissolution, it wasn't id Software themselves, and so the canon cannot be treated as 100% accurate. It could be catalogued, but it would need separation, just like the expansions and main game shouldn't mix. So, yeah, just like those expansions cannot expand upon the original entries, neither can "authorized" books. Of course, authorized takes precedence over unauthorized, similar to the Add-Ons, but it doesn't necessarily mean the unauthorized is to be treated as any less canon unless it contradicts. Basically, game guides aren't the way to go :P

Hey, I can say I became a Lieutenant in X-Wing and beat all the tutorials. I still distrust flight sims, but at least now I know there are some that are far more simple than the nightmare inducing stuff I touched in the past.
