Stephen won`t let major changes happen because he won`t do them but you`re free to think what ever you`d like if you think other staff and myself are so petty that we stall or simple don`t do what we purpose to do simply because we`re not controlling ranks on server than that certainly is your prerogative.
but my reasoning are simply that i do not have time. and MK has been able to do what ever they want to on RT for well over 18 months the only resistance to them is My federation SB and in the past 18 months we`ve successfully held the ranks for probably 5 all together weeks at best, you can attribute that to a lack of caring, lack of activity, and or a lack of skill on our part. or you can attribute it to sheer numbers of those who would oppose SB because they don`t like us, don`t trust us, see us as power abusers or what have you. the fact remains the same that MK/Distemper have the ranks for a long time and can UW when ever they see fit and SB is unable/unwilling to lift a finger to oppose that for various reasons.
but all of which has nothing to do with the delay in E class. the happy thing that happened was that after along time we finally got stephen to perform a simple task which was to expand the database for ships an empire could have meaning he increased a value in one line of code (spectacular and a breakthrough at the same time) .which will allow us to implement a new idea along with E class at the same time. the next step is editing the research list which is a little work but easy enough except for the part where we plead with stephen to put it in without fault, while at the same exact time we put the new ships into the database to give us a smooth transition but this is the part that we`re unable to do atm because BW nor i have the time to implement the changes atm then sit around and for a few days reacting to all the pms and fixing the issues that will come up from doing this as soon as possible across all servers.
As you said it is what it is and it will be handled when it`s able to be I`m sorry. I`m also truly sorry i don`t live up to your expectations.
