Silly comment when when the AI have been improving. Heck they just got a big boost that made me change the way I go about combat.
making the AI even tougher could be a lower priority than what Sarah is now working on.
Sarah moved from current project, update no longer coming?

Thank you for that link, now I know I wasn't going crazy. So Why are they deleting her posts? To me this smell like a total panic attack!
I can understand her being moved to help on another project or feature but to have her posts deleted just fuels the concerns here. Unless she deleted them herself which seems unlikely.
They absolutely moved people about. Thousands of tasks and a handful of people = everyone juggles multiple hats.
Like most juggling acts, some balls get dropped along the way and picked up later.

I believe the truth is that FDEV discovered that SJA is actually a Thargoid and that her attempts at AI were a subtle plot to test Human Space Combat abilities.
It's the only logical explanation.*
*well more logical than the one FDEV probably has for taking someone competent off a core component of the game that needs improvement and wasting 2 years of her life.

Well, then I draw the logical conclusion that you are either not in the logical business, or you don't have a clue
Both externally and internally it seems. Add planning to that list as well, because pulling somebody from a project that's nearly complete and indefinitely postponing it is... well. . backside meet elbow etc
stupid prissy language filter. I can type crap but not mention the orifice from which it emanates?

I dont know... I dont know what to think of FD... I understand moving her its sad but it happens but to remove the AI update and not give it us (based on twitter) thats just terrible
Thread has gone from "this sucks based on what we just heard" to "let's make up stuff we think might be why it sucks" to "let's storm the castle!"
I'm as disappointed as well, the nextmost disappointed player, by the little scrap of data I know; but there's no need to burn the whole place to the ground in a riot. That won't do anything constructive.
Maybe the darkly sardonic humour can be broken out. It's times like these when it's better to crack a smile than a head.

That's exactly how it goes in big companies sometimes, unfortunately. Peeps get moved around to suit business needs, that may or may not attune with their personal needs. It's how it works.
As for project managers - urgh - currently I have to deal with a PMP and agile CSM, neither who know the first thing about projects, let alone managing them! The only reason everything hasn't completely collapsed is that the staff (and us contractors) actually know what needs done, and do it. Management just see the results and go and congratulate the useless PM's, and move them on to even more projects they are utterly unqualified for
I dont know but based on twitter no...
I hope it does because if they drop that I dont know how I am going to keep my fun in game because everything is easy (to the point were I dont even try anymore)
Unless you worked on NMS then I'd guess that they would need to be a flexible team able to know when to re-prioritise and put things on hold, otherwise they probably won't be getting the game you haven't even played yet to you. Also last I heard they expanded that team after the Sony deal.
My guess is Frontier just had to re-prioritise, they have a team working late nights to get ready for gamescon.
Just posts from today...everything older is still out there (from what I've checked so far). Is there something in those last few posts in "Dev Morale" and "O-M-G NPCs! Stop it already!" that shouldn't have been said? Because I don't see why those posts needed to be removed.

And yet, for the second time in this thread, you make a statement without offering a single bit of reasoning as to why you find that statement logical.
Logic, from the Greek "logos" (I say), is a method of creating or solving an argument through reason.
Yep. I'd rep you again if I could.
Besides, the new Mad Max game is out soon. I wasn't planning on playing much Elite when that arrives anyway. :
And this morning at 0850 she was fully expecting to continue AI work.
Doesn't look much like a planned desk/dept move to me but then I do love a good conspiracy theory

good luck Sarah. Remember, when one door shuts another one opens. I certainly hope so anyway.
Well, if we actually get her fired with our well-intentioned-but-probably-foiled-like-baked-potatoes ranting, we should all buy her books to float her till she gets re-hired.
