[Slick]

I'll also add these questions with no intent to hurt anyone's feelings:


Given the following:

- SEV was built from the ground up to be extremely moddable. (As I mentioned above, maybe even at the expense of making other things better.)

- Everyone agrees that the AI could be much improved.

- I am not a modder due to time constraints and just not finding it fun.

- It has been shown in SE:IV that even with lesser modability, the AI can be greatly improved (TDM, for example)

- We would be hard pressed to make a list of SEV mods longer than a 10. I'd hope that all this modability would be embraced by more than a handful of people.


My questions:

Why is it that, now, 3 months after release it appears that nobody or at most very few people are working on improving AI's? (This doesn't count the time that the beta testers had access to the game, nor should it due to their duties to support testing.)

Do you think that MM wasted time putting in all these text files to be modded buy just a handful of people seem to be using them?

Do you think that people are:
a) waiting for the game to get better (patches) before attempting AI improvement?
b) just too frustrated with the game to bother?
