C'mon, you know you want to. 
On a more serious note, if the lady is as talented as many think she is, how can it be a bad thing for whatever project she has been moved to ?
It's not like she has been fired.
None of her AI work has been lost either.
Leave FD to make their in-house decisions.

Well, it confirmed that a) Sarah has been moved to other responsibilities b) it was done due of flexibility and required changes in project management.
He also confirmed work on AI is not done.
That sucks, decent AI opponents would have been the one reason for me to take another look at the "game".
And how in the blazes did I get to 57 notifications? Don't people read what I put in my profile?
I sent you a PM to explain it
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
Actually there's more than 'just one confirmation' needed. FD would do well to let us know the current state of the AI. Is it accurate that all npc are behaving as Harmless, either partially (in use of pips, countermeasures) or fully (in use of combat flight tactics) as stated in a post made yesterday from one of your team?

We already knew all of those things.
Sorry Zac but that response is completely generic and devoid of information, and in particular does not explain the distress SJA appeared in and the suddenness of the change. Is this such a big secret that you can't even tell us what she has been reassigned to? Is it even something for ED still?

Well, technically it said no such thing, but it did imply them, in standard FD ambiguous speak.

Haven't you realised by now that common sense and logic will not be tolerated in this thread. We demand answers, we want to see SJA's contract, we want all the HR records for all employees displayed publically ......
There seems to be a few here who are having trouble understanding what the rights of being just a consumer of a product entitles them to - basically nothing!
I remember the first time I was referred to as part of a "resource pool", it did make me sad as I had been referred to as Jason before.
Over the last 20 years I just have got used to being a resource and I do not even think anything of it now.
Funny how we change...
Several of us have said this but a lot more are ignorant about development needs, planning, resourcing and logistics... I'd say armchair developers but then I work from home on my sofa half the time (it's miles more comfy than the office chair and desk I have)
Don't bother, I'm old as @#$ yelling at kids on my lawn is a hoppy of mine, sometimes I run out of kids, then I yell at the squalls.
Apologies, my reply to you was tinged with some frustration at the replies here and certainly wasn't my intention to insult. To both your points to, I did not disagree that it isn't broken. It is, and yes something within the management of this broke down somewhere and I suspect some mis-communication happened too.
And in the past I've been critical of Frontier's management, many mistakes have been made but I'm also aware of changes that have been happening to try improve this but sometimes, and especially in teams of > 100 people this can take time.
See above, if you think I am a fanboi you are mistaken. I don't expect you to read my post history but you are more than welcome too - I think you'll find I am far from it, and have been openly critical of Frontier plenty of times. I am a fan of the series however and have been for over 20 years.
As I've already mentioned, should be case closed but Zac I must warn you this thread will continue to grow at least another 20 pages as people continue to moan. Personally I'd say no more on the matter for now as all it does it lead to more speculation and tantrums.
Great. So you're rolling the new AI out in a few more days then?

Not one single post here is telling Frontier how to develop the game.

You don't say. <insert famous Nicolas Cage picture here>
We already knew that she was moved to a different task, because that is what she has said herself. And yeah, obviously work on AI isn't done when it has been shelved.
Gertcha!
Maybe you could read it again... it said more than enough... any more and he'll have his posting privileges removed...
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Sprint - Agile crap!
One of the most devious conspiracies that has got developers sprinting to do mini-waterfalls!
Another money making device for would be authors, training companies, and 'consultancies'.
