Discuss.

I personally want to know the reasoning for wasting the last 2 months of effort she has put into the combat update that we've been excited for.

EDIT: Please remove the '?' from the end of my title please. Until it is clarified, I am only sharing what was shared by SJA.

UPDATE FROM ZAC: Putting my reply here so that it's more visible. Sorry to hijack your post! :)

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

Eh?

Do you mean Sarah Jane Avory? Why do you think she's been moved away from coding the combat AI?

A real shame. Sarah was doing great work we've all been eagerly waiting for, making the AI smarter and more challenging across the board in a game where the main source of challenge is fighting off the boredom.

Looking at the twitter feed it looks like a temporary thing as she is stating the code will go in someday, maybe Sarah has been moved into coding AI wingmen or Thargoids ;)

She made the mistake of talking to the player base and caring about what the community wanted, it seems.

Edit- I don't have twitter, can someone give us the text of what she said?

It seems reason she is moved to do some new stuff she isn't allowed to talk about.

I hope her replacement regarding combat AI will do good, and she will have fun doing "new stuff". I will miss her comments for sure.

She has started to work on something else that she isn't allowed to talk about, but that doesn't mean they threw away the code. The changes she implemented internally will still come in a future update, probably in 1.4.

Based on the latest comments on this forum she was close to being finished with the AI updates she was working on anyway so there isn't really a big mystery here. She finished them and were then put on something else.

To the OP - can you change the title of this thread so more people will read it? It's Sarah.

Well I have good hopes for any sector of this game to which she gets applied. As long as this isn't a removal but a promotion of responsibility then I can retract some of the _____ from my previous post.

She's a highly talented developer, I'm sure whatever they put her on is quite substantial. It's a shame she can't talk about it though, she is fantastic at interacting with the community.

It was said (forgot where this quote is from) that if you have a fully A-class ship, most AI will be pretty easy for you. Fly a C-class, run-of-the-mill rated ship, and see how hard the game is (excepting Vulture).
