HELLO! This is just a rehash of the old list so far, still lots of work to do and add, I am hoping to focus this more so on confirmed features. If anyone has anything to contribute feel free to post with the feature and a link to the Post that confirms it and I'll get it slotted in.

I see no real point to this.

I see many points to this. It is very pointy.

When was the last time the original list was updated hmm?

PS: Looooooong Time.

Also: viewtopic.php?p=697656#p697656

Mike

Thanks, very useful!

The point is that I requested in the old stale thread someone start a new one that is actually updated.

+1.


also what about colors like previous thread?

Got rid of those on purpose, they were hard to read.

I'm also organizing them differently, before it was by "Importance", which leads things to be all mixed up, so I'm grouping them more logically, like grouping up all the stuff for UI and such.

Mike

needs a pointless and arbitrary poll.

(but thanks for the time and effort, this is nice to have)

Good work, Knight!

Much thanks, knight.

Hey since the kickstarter ended, shouldn't a [STRETCHGOAL] just be [CONFIRMED]?

Yeah I need to go in and do a lot of optimization, it is still mostly a rehash of the original list.

Plan to clean up the current list some more then dive into the Dev's Post logs and try to pull out some more confirmations.

Mike

Stretchgoals aren't just a Kickstarter term. They're used by teams regularly to refer to things they'd like to if time/circumstance/luck allow it. Just a thought.

Possibly an idea to label non-KS stretch goals specially, just so people understand that Uber is considering other things on top of KS.

New or Prototype Commanders ?
