Mpanty's bane
I am a bit late for the discussion:
I admit that I always thought that the 10 years were oddly long for the writers to choose. I mean 5 years are a long enough time too to get the point across without being so odd (at least to me). Especially considering how cramped the years 2665-2669 are.
After I played SO2, I knew that Maniac wouldn't die, he was now firmly established as the comedy relief.
Also, the Confederation Handbook (IIRC) lists AMG for almost all capital ships so they couldn't be that new.
And where does it say in the WC2 manual that the Waterloo was already around during WC1 - I only remember the WC2 manual as being not such a wealth of information.

1. You mention that AM guns are standard equipment on WC2 capships, but not in WC1 - however, we also know that Waterloo cruisers already existed during the WC1 period - this is not merely mentioned in Freedom Flight, but even appears in the WC2 manual. We don't know anything about the other capital ships, but the only one that absolutely could not exist during WC1 was the Concordia.
