for me personly, the "Search & Rescue - VIP/Briefcase" sounds very interesting! would love to see that in the game.
i dont see it that way. they dont have a "job". they work for free, can do what ever they want and hey, you can also implement the features you like your self. so the only thing you can do is to inform (or inspire) the developers about what you would like to see in the game (and you have done that). and they must not hurry up! i also want to play the 2.3 as soon as possible but overall i am glad that the game is open source and exists at all...
nicely said, but it would be my trollish pleasure to add more.
why telling ufo-ai developers what their job is, sounds so irritating to them (as i understand it from their allergic responses).
so, what do those statements about the ufo-ai developer's job sound like?
i can toss people around from a position of authority, like a boss or something.
and then that pleases my ego and completely shuts down my common sense.
i think that it is not worth starting a forum war over it every time like it has happened so often here.
everybody behaves irrationally sometimes.
if you have read the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, in that book douglas adams quite subtly explains how humans are not descendants of apes but are descendants of cretins, and gives something like a linguistic proof of it.
i hope btaxis and whoever who gets annoyed about people who talk about ufo-ai as their job will get enlightened and come to terms with other people and themselves being cretins.
believe me, i was bit disappointed in people myself at some point, and found great relief in that statement, and actually it is also the truth, and has always been true even when i didn't see the truth myself yet : )
denial of the truth tends to create most problems ; )
really, this may seem like a small detail to some people, but telling freeware devs what their job is produces an
allergic reaction.
