Yes, but Navy fighter pilots far exceed FSO AI in intelligence and skill.

Can we continue this discussion ? Would it be possible to expect
this feature comming in the nearer future (let's say 4 to 5 months maximum ? )

I'm not sure how you guys in the SCP are organized, so that is why I rather ask twice.

Thanks.

Advice: Asking twenty times in the space of one week tends to be more than a little annoying.  Schedules don't change much over that short of a timespan.  We're likely to ignore requests that are spammed like that.

We're much more receptive to requests that are posted once and perhaps bumped every month or so.  Polite reminders are welcomed.  Shrieking demands are not.  Contrast my response to your post and PMs vs. my response to Gregster2k's post in the other thread.

Historically, reasonable requests tend to be implemented a maximum of six months after they're first requested.  Persistent variables, extended electronics flags for weapons, and ballistic missiles fall under this category.  More often, they're completed in two months or less.

Hm.  Methinks this post should be Wikified under the SCP FAQ page.  Redmenace, kasperl, karajorma, anyone? :)

Hm, actually I had not the intention of being annoying to you or anyone else. :nervous:

I'm just asking again, simply because I want a straight answer, since our mod-work in the near future is affected by  this answer. If you won't do it, we will have to lead the mod-work in another direction and not "hope" a few months that you guys might gonna do it, and will then be dissapointed in the end and wasted lot's of time.  Also I'm asking, because I (and most others) have no real idea how the SCP is structured.

For the same reason I PM'ed you, (since you once stated interest in the requested feature but I had not a real usable answer). If I would have get a "No", I had to direct our Fredders (5, including me) in another direction to get around the missing vital feature. But since you give me a "Yes" and a eventually ETA, I can now direct them in a different direction, which will save us dozend of work hours and will improve the mod much more in the end.

I get a few replies in this one here, which looks like some other people are interested, but this was a request to the SCP team, and because we have work to plan on our own I only want an answer like:

- Yep, we will do this in a short time
- Yep, we will put it on the to-do-list, but can't give you an ETA now
- Nope, no chance, we are all to busy or it aint possible (technical).
- @!"§%@'* (which I'm not really expecting from you guys :) )

Fact is, I cannot (and will not) force you guys into anything, but I need to know where it goes so I can plan our own work. (like I'm doing it in real life work too, this may be a little difference between me and some other users around here),

Again, I'm sorry if someone thinks I'm annoying, I just hoped to receive a straight answer. (Also the size and quality of the wc-mod requires some sort of planing, since we are a rather big team)
