Important.gif The List below is a compendium of developer comments in response to suggestions made by the community. This list does not represent internal development priorities nor does it confirm that the features mentioned will be implemented into the game.
The List consists of links to public comments made by various members of the development team in chronological order. The developers may have plans for the game that do not entail anything on this page.


Warning

First, however, a warning from the desk of the Captain himself:

Cleaver wrote: Oh my, I am very excited by our ideas here, but I am going to be tight-lipped...we don't want to set the expectations that 'all these fantastic things' are going to be in the game real soon now; even if we can see a clear *design* path to them, by the time we get to implementation other things may have changed, and it could be some time in the future. We just don't know, yet...[1]
