Warning: RANT AHEAD.
I'm disappointed. I don't see any "biggest-bang-for-the-buck" changes. (See that thread.) I don't understand that, because some of those would be SOOOOO easy to implement, yet would greatly expand the game. Shrapnel is fond of bragging about the thought that goes into their games (and rightly so). But here we have numerous cases where the thinking has been done, the game design notably improved, and the ideas are not implementable for lack of a little bit of coding. I'm beginning to think that Aaron has a "not invented here" attitude.

[edit: Feel free to agree or disagree with this opinion as strongly as you like. I don't mind, as long as you don't get personal. Examples: "this opinion stinks"=OK, "dmm, you stink!"= not OK.]
