Ahh that is just fun, I really don't think you should put anything into that. It's just fun to imagine the mistress and the minions, I for one laugh pretty much of that one.
LOL....everytime I hear that ladies voice in the stations ..I imagine Sarah speaking into the mic.
That pretty tame to how I imagined it.. 
So not only did they reassign her away from some very important work that basically every player was looking forward to. No, they didn't even give her the opportunity to wrap everything up that she has already done so that at least that much will be in the next update. Instead it's just shelved, with a vague hope that it might be added to the game, maybe. And they muffled her public voice.
Okay. I guess that's the final straw, and from now on I must assume that the management has absolutely no g clue whatsoever.
I can't do enough facepalms right now.
P.S.: Go ahead, try. Let's see whatever marketing doublespeak you may fabricate in a vain attempt to mitigate this mess. Not that I am going to buy any of that.
And you know what, FD, you've just made it personal. This no longer about whether we get the AI update we have been looking forward to. Forget about the AI. This is about you spitting in the face of one of your most devoted employees who of all the people in your company probably had the single biggest positive impact on your public relations. They way you treated SJA, how you "thanked" her for all the hard work, openness and positivity will not be forgiven so easily, and certainly not forgotten.
I know I am powerless in this matter but still: I demand no less than than a public apology, not to us but to SJA, her reassignment to the work she loved, giving her free reign in what she shares with us, and last but not least an explanation what the hell you were even thinking.

i'd buy that for a dollar
430+ posts in 30 hours, I think all thats been said has already been said but I'll throw my voice and say I hope there's a good reason for all this.
Would appreciate a Dev comment that looks something like this:
"Her expertise was required elsewhere"
"AI code for 1.4 is nearly finished, a fresh face will polish it off whilst SJA moves on to other parts of Elite"
"It was a business decision"
"Sorry guys, you looked like you were about to start a cult!"
Doesn't need to be specific but at the moment I'd say confused and annoyed probably sums up peoples thoughts here since from a community/outsiders point of view it really doesn't make sense considering the large amounts of praise for the new docking and AI improvements.

Would that 1.4 not be the next big update in the first place.
This does not sound to good.

Colour, font face, whether you can bold/itallic/underline... lol gotta love working for a local authority.
Is she there?! Is she?!
Put her on!
You need to tell me she's okay or you're getting nothing Braben!
Sarah?! SARAH?!!
We need to get Liam Neeson in on this.
PS. On a serious note, I think it's clear that SJA made a connection here with us. I think it's clear that her work is/was appreciated. Frontier don't owe us anything, internal management is internal management, but I would appreciate it if they could fill us in.

Sarah was the best response to the communities request for action. The AI sucked beyond measure and she alone went to work with a vengeance to make her AI kick some ass! I was hoping this was just a preview of what the AI could be with hopes of the AI being a feared element of E. Sad day indeed.

Did start at 7pm their time ne?
I think those calling for an official statement should accept it will come during office hours an not at ~2am
I learned to run multiple relevant timezones on my comp clock widgets after years herding zombies from across the world in Urban Dead. The joys of unevenly-applied Daylight Savings sometimes made it a minigame in its own right. UTC is right under my local even now. Very good to be aware of what time it is at any given place on the planet when you're dealing with an international grouping.
