You want us to speculate about speculating now? what are you thinking?!
But... it's the only thing we're any good at!
I speculate that the level of speculation in here will reach such a level it will collapse back in on itself and in the terrible, reality-devouring cataclysm that follows we'll all be blissfully happy with ELITE and cry out in joy before being suddenly silenced.
Who is Sarah?
S
In keeping with this thread: You don't need to know, just make it up.
Well.. If we're getting into speculation, then.
My take is she's been kidnapped by Chris Roberts and is now in some safe house waiting to be whisked away out of the country to Austin in Texas. Nope hang on, that's wrong, money is tight over at CIG, so its probably Manchester she'll end up, cheaper that way.
She will then continue her work for the Star Citizen project, on AI.
No! too far fetched !

GASP! How awesome/terrible!
Well she been moved somewere else and she dosent sound happy about it.
she called it a not very good day...
and then confirmed the much needed AI update is no longer
I've read a few pages of this thread but the way I see it Sarah would have signed a contract. If she has been slipping hints about things and everyone else has been very tight lipped because of a contractual agreement then I think FD are within their rights to stop any future posts relating to ED updates. I am also just speculating of course but basing it on legal requirements. Any business would have the upper hand here.
That being said, I do think update information is really lacking in general and over 2 months of zero info (apart from CQC for xbox which I think looks fun but is as a completely separate thing to the main ED universe).

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
Just give me my extra armour already, Palpatine. Green Zone's hot today.
I don't know if I know what you know, but it's certain you don't know you know that I know you don't know about what we all know here. Y'know?
This thread alone shows how ridiculous a community can get with the smallest snippet of vague information, suddenly everyone is writing theories that others pass on as fact. This is possibly why developers can't talk about everything they are working on, because average gaming communities don't understand the decisions that get a product out of the door in the real world.

Well maybe , but the thing that upsets me is the much needed AI update is now on the shelf , if someone else is going to continue work fine. but its scary for me as I am a combat pilot in game and there only so much fun I can have with enemies that dont fight back
Wow. Just catching up. Even by FD's usual PR disaster standards, this is a bit of a stand-out moment.
At the risk of going all tinfoil hatter, I can't help but speculate on the timing of this. Either it's an eleventh hour decision that came out of the blue, which would give the impression that FD are making stuff up as they go and gives me serious doubts about the future direction of ED. Or it's something that's been planned for a while, in which case the timing -- shortly after Lavecon -- certainly sets my cynicism meter a-twitching.
I would love to have seen how differently the interaction at Lavecon would have proceeded had this news been broken beforehand, but of course that's just pure speculation now.
I will be interested to see whether or not the Lave Radio crew can spin this into something even remotely positive, or indeed if they'll even mention it at all.
I'm very disappointed for SJA for what's happened (we don't know all the details but she's clearly not happy), and even more disappointed in FD for yet again fumbling the PR ball in the most cack-handed way.

Oh, but how now do I know what you now know and how? Pow...
As a great man once said, there's an old saying in Elite—I know it's in Texas, probably in Elite—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

One thing I can be sure about is that after 300 posts of speculation, SJA is well loved on this forum. She has an enthusiasm for this game that was evident back when she was posting comments on Kickstarter. I wish her all the best.
