Whenever I watch things withTony Z in it. It reassures me knowing someone who knows his craft is on board putting Chris's vision in place. I honestly don't know how anyone can watch that whole thing and not feel the project is in a good place. these are the high level guys.

I know, right?

When I think of all the things they are working towards or thinking about doing my mouth literally goes agape!

Kind of like this handy emoticon: :stonk:

All they need to do is overlay a little code on these ideas and it's in the bag. I mean where these guys are, they're probably already working out the bugs they figured out might happen once the code is done, already outlying the next version. This is how game developers should be and how development should work.

The "no plan survives contact" line is to emphasise the need for competent leadership to be adaptable, it's not supposed to be an excuse for constantly loving things up.

No plan survives contact with Chris Roberts.

Plans are for puny developers with no vision.

The Roberts don't need no stinking plans.

Nah they couldn't get the NPC AI to be appropriately smarmy. Not because they didn't have the right mocap - Chris did hours worth of work. It was actually because they haven't figured out how to make NPCs walk yet, so he couldn't hover behind you while he was insinuating you weren't enough of a man to drive that particular spaceship.
