Hi Jim, As a fellow developer I do understand where you are coming from with this. No one likes to have their worked changed or trashed unless they have specifically said someone could do so. During the development of STFC I got a lot of requests to change this or that. While I didn't mind some of them after a while it got to be over welming, because the more I tried to please everyone elses requests the game was no longer my idea, doing what I wanted the game to do, and I was not at all happy with 1.0/1.2. In STFC 2.0 I plan to return to my original idea for the game which I think will make me happier for it. To us as game developers our games are our stories, our work of art, and changing it can make it less than it was to us personally.
