From what I've seen and heard of EA's willingness to try to throw us (the Wing Commander fan community) so many bones in design of their games and other materials, I actually wouldn't be surprised to see the writers of the hypothetical Wing Commander 7 or other future Wing Commander products take successful, popular, and widely distributed fan projects like Standoff into account, in addition to the official canon. Of course they don't have to since it's not canon, but I suspect that they might. And in doing so would make some of the modders decisions part of the canon in the future. Hasn't that already happened with some of the things in Standoff?
