So much assumption, so little fact in this thread... bravo, bravo.

Now you know how religion got started!
Same goes for most pvp......
Really? Actual players really fall for that? I mean, maybe in a fast ship vs a slow ship, but generally flying backwards is easily countered with a boost.
Looking at her twitter... she's been moved to something else, it's no big deal. It's just very rough to switch like that when there wasn't a lot of planning for it.
Stepping away from your work when it's nearly done and you're pleased with it and really want to see the results - that is frustrating. Frustrating enough that you might have mixed feelings when you outline the changes on Twitter. Twitter feels intimate, but it is a public announcement and that is a huge responsibility when you are the public face of a company of dozens (or hundreds) of dedicated friends and colleagues. So you might later decide that your phrasing was influenced by frustration, and you don't want that moment to be the public face of the company. You are passionate to complete your mini-project but you have a higher passion for the wider game itself, and that higher passion prevails.

First to all those saying this is just a game are wrong. Reason is simple to you and I, it is a game. To them it is their job, their livelihood and it is the main game for a company basing their future on from their own words, a game to grow for 10 years. So stop the nonsense of this is only a game. To the developers and Frontier itself it is not a game, it is a business. The same as any other one, and to expect well as it is a game we can be disappointed is utter foolishness and nonsense. We are customers the same as for a plumber, a builder, a carpenter whatever. To them we are a paying customer and if they do it right we may rehire them for a new job in the future, this is a game making software company, they treat people right and we buy more of their products, they don't and we won't and they lose potential profit.
.
So lets stop this constant get over it, it is just a game comments. Obviously if you read any of SJA's posts she was passionate about her AI minions and looking forward to releasing the code and seeing the impact with I am sure a evil grin and her spiked shoes on ready to crush. Alas we will not see that soon, but I hope we do someday.
.
Whatever happened, whatever change they made and project they moved her to, I hope it is in Elite and her new code works as well as her docking computer does, and she posts when it is all said and done and tells us what she worked on. I understand by reading the thread that she won't be posting as her new work can't be discussed. So we have no idea what it is, or even if Elite related. I just hope it is and wish her all the best and hope she digs into her new bit of coding with the same passion she has shown on her posts.
.
On a personal note I think FD should let her finish the AI and implement it, and they put her on the new work. Months of her taunting us about it, is just to irresistible and I would love to see it, and fight against it. Ahh the fun win lose or draw. So if FD reads this and I am sure someone is, please implement what code she has, give us a challenge we are lacking now.

I'd write a post about why this stinks but no-one who could change the situation cares.
I will say that the bit that stands out for me is where SJA mentions in her tweet that she needs social contact. Some developers aren't so introverted and thrive on feedback during as well as after development. If FD failed to recognise that this is her development style then they need to take a hard look at their own management, although given their track record since release it wouldn't surprise me at all that they just don't understand that attitude.
SJA: thanks for your work to date, and I hope that whatever you're working on now is enjoyable enough to allow you to forget the abandoned AI work.

My first job after leaving uni was AI programmer on PS2 games. Got moved around all the time and most of my work thrown away on two projects.
This is normal, resources get moved around. If you think game devs work on the same thing month after month and projects aren't reassessed then think again.
Enjoyed reading SJA's posts and always good to see female representation from games devs especially in this field.

We don't have to work with anything.
We can just refrain from speculations and let Frontier do their job as they see fit.
These decisions are none of our business and that is how it should be.
If this bunch of rabble (including me) would have had to run Frontier it would have self destructed on day one.

As far as community relation go, FD don't so much shoot themselves in the foot as scatter the ground with landmines before hopping from one to the next.
Gutted the AI update won't be going in as soon as we expected (or at all, who knows). That was much more of a pull to keep me in teh game than PP or whatever their 'super secret but oh so amazing' reveal is going to be. If it's more grind based junk there won't be enough facepalms in the world.

Maybe it looked at Powerplay and refused to take part! Those Agent Haulers started refusing to turn up simply to be blown apart in 15 seconds for 15 points!

yikes!, well this is a doozy out of the blue!
Not going to get in to any of this speculation however I do hope it gets cleared up and turns out to be a mountain out of a mole hill.
SJA I like your posts, you are passionate, funny and seem to walk the line with giving us tidbits of inside info on what you are doing. All I have to say is I hope you are not in hot water and have not said anything that anyone will take issue with at work (I have crossed the line myself a number of times in a rage and regretted it after - but I like to think as long as the powers that be can see it is because you are invested in your work then that is actually a good thing ). I am just glad you are still at FD and hope you learn to enjoy your new project.
Sleep well and tomorrow is another day.

Did someone get moved, fired, leave, beamed up by aliens, or...
Oh its Sarah, well good luck to you Sarah. In whatever project or part of project they have put you on.
.
Lets hope this big announcement, whatever it is about, is some good news when we hear it. Don't hold your breathe though, I'm not.
