Many didn't bother to request refunds - they just wrote it off!
Sarah moved from current project, update no longer coming?

saying that AI improvement is not important and can be done later is silly. Sorry Titus...
AI should have been challenging right at RELEASE actually! Its one of the MAJOR problems Elite has right now. Its why singleplayer mode is so popular, people can hide in it and playing against laughable AI then get bored cause of no challenge and stop playing or get wracked when trying open cause the difference to real players is so big.
the bad AI is a MAJOR MAJOR problem of Elite and should be fixed ASAP.

Enough information that FD has clearly set policy they don't discuss their employee/employer relationships, as any sane company should do?
People *should* ask for work done on AI - what about it. People *should* stop pestering or even outright panning FD management. There's so little information.
Well, I want to say good but... capitulating greed? They essentially moved to prevent bad publicity. That's never a good sign. This thread though, it is titillating. I have two tabs open, this thread and an 'anti-homeless spikes' article. Guess where my outrage is?
The cold resource pool style of modern agile management with story points and sprints meets the hot fire of fandomism.
I've been having the same thoughts. Its just that if they only on sprint 4 realized this is not going too well someone ELSE havent done a good job.
If its a scrum process there are reviews AND retrospective meetings where the process and other problems can be discussed. All leading up to and preparing you for a planning of the next sprint.
My point is that extensive delays would probably have been apparent early in the process. You then discuss this with the team and the "product owner" to insure the latter is always up to speed.
Its him/her who in the end decides the priority. If he/her suddenly decided to pull the carpet from under the team it better be for good reasons, as it can be "traumatic" for a team to experience.
tldr;
Based on the tweets posted I doubt the reasons are something she (and perhaps her team) can resonate with. And that it came out of the blue. Something that processes like scrum tries very hard to prevent.
The whole processes is about planned deliveries and not unscheduled cancellations.
But who knows.
All tings aside AI deserves a good update.
Hey guys, I just wanted to jump on this thread and just give a really quick reply.
It’s very common in development that people work on different elements of the game in order to best support the game and the community as a whole.
AI is an area we’re actively working on but how and when those updates happen may flex slightly based on the needs of the game overall.
Thanks,
Zac

so then, where is the information of the work done on AI?
Yup, DDF, offline mode ... we have a self-perpetuating rage-thread.
Let's face it the whole issue could be solved if everyone played in open!
And thats just it they have priorities, but it will get done at some point.
+1 rep for braving it on to this thread and giving a little good sense.
Whatever else it is, a comment nearly 17 hours after the thread broke could not be described as quick.
I considered the refund option, but decided I was here for the long-haul, and that was decided long before the kickstarter.
Zac, just need one confirmation - is Sarah's idea about re-scaling NPCs by ranks still a go? I understand it will be delayed due pressing matters, but all we need is "yes" or "no" regarding her ideas and design not going into waste
Or, as Ken Schwaber is purported to have said "deliver something you don't want in 30 days"
This thread started at 8PM BST, long after everyone had left the Frontier offices for the night. You expect them to reply when they're in bed, getting ready for tehir next morning in the office?

+1
Can we get a +2 and beyond?
Thank you for the info Zac, I hope you all take notes and leaned a lesson
You're not coding the next Excel, but a world for people to be in, anyone who understand this will also understand the complexity of the human mind.
Well done for braving it.
Give us a kiss!
Sorry... wrong sort of passion... come to that... wrong sort of person entirely!
