I was referring strictly to the technical discussion that is usually covered by NDA.

And I think we should disagree more.

@JAFTeam - give us in plain english a list of the features that are open and a list of the features that are closed to modding. Don't worry if you think it won't be complete, we'll ask for details.

Might be, but they're are treating it as if it's just another license they can milk for money. If it was the ultimate goal of their life they would not have stated that if KS fails they'll just abandon the license and move on.

-ingame objects
No, not items. Think trees, bushes, trashcans, ... - scenery and world objects

• Multiple Endings; It would be nice to have more than one defined ending for the game. Although JA2 has great replay value with the slew of mercs and tactical situations, it always geared to the same final showdown with the same results. Having game events impact the possible ending would be fabulous.
• This is the one I desperately want to see in all my favorite character-driven games. The paper doll inventory system. For those that don't know, it's alot like the old paper cut-out dolls where you would put different items on the paper doll in whatever fashion you wanted. The earliest game I remember playing that used it is Ultima VII: Serpent Isle. More recently, Rage of Mages 2 (god awful game, but the inventory rocked). Instead of 'slots', when you equipped a weapon, the item was visually placed in a static representation of your full-body merc's hands.
• I wish I could see on my mercs:
  - different clothing
  - tech kits
  - wounds/maiming/bloody patches
  - dirt/water
  - different firing attitudes (single hand shooters, both hands shooters, one hand used for support, etc)
• New modes of transport: trains, vehicles that work inside the sector, rubber dingy for coastal attacks, planes you can parachute from.
• New strategic option brought on by new vehicles such as trains:
  1. Detonating a tree next to the line with explosives causing a blocked track.
  2. Detonating explosives in a cutting causing a landslide to block the tracks.
  3. Blowing up a section of track.
  4. Comandeering a signalbox and stopping a train by throwing a red light or switch.
  5. Blowing a bridge or tunnel.
  6. Firing Laws or Mortars at the locomotive. (bad for loyalty killing civilian rail workers)
• Vehicles:
  More of them, have abandoned vehicles which mercs may (or may not) be able to repair. Allow storage of items into these vehicles (a must! I believe this would eliminate the need for a base). Allow mounting of specialized weapons to the vehicles. The vehicles can still be stationary in the sector, this would limit the use of specialized weapons because the enemy would have to be in close contact with the vehicle (let the user place the vehicle like they do mercs when entering an occupied sector). Moving vehicles could also be performed based on current APs for each vehicle

• A certain ammount of food would be required per day to keep the mercs energy up. Perhaps special rations could keep the energy level higher during the day. But certainly nothing any more complicated than that.it would just be one more logistical thing. Basically I found that there was WAY to much money to be made. So one of the ways to combat that would be that you have to buy food to support your troops.
• 1. Mercenaries: Backgrounds: there should be more nations represented. Especially there should be more characters from countries with a "militaristic vibe", as I like to call them. This includes, for example, countries with a turbulent history (Africa, Middle-East, former Soviet Union, Latin America...) and countries with a conscription (Israel, South Korea, Finland...). Also, more women. Military isn

• 1)first, better AI and more tactics involved. The lack of real tactics is what make rpgs boring to me. It's good to have a few different tactics depending on a situation and sector(first sectors would be the core ja, subquest exotic tactics, final challenges, or dedicated merc enemy teams...). I suggest the ability to call tacticians during the game(with various costs and risks about the discretion of the attack), buying plans, or critical datas to prepare an attack(at what time there will be less guards, when should we attack to recruit people and have a good timeframe, who are the principal/mandatory target to have to kill less people... etc)... Maybe this could be easy-moddable, and imho the easiest way is to make it easy to script, and make them full text (not requiring graphics or sound) features.
• 2)more realistic maps(levelled?, physics, weather changes...)
• 4)I like the ability of training militia, but what about training people to recruit them and replace as backup. You would accomplish missions, kill people and people depending on how they judge them as success, or failure, will accept to be trained. Their availibility would depend on their job in town, or such. Indeed, I would prefer if a player accept the death of their characters, and don't reload to return at a save point. They would count instead on their backup. And for the training side, if someone of your team is a sniper and decide to train a rookie, the rookie would be sniper, with maybe some modified stats.
  

I'd like to be able to dig a trench , crawl into a crater and climb a tree to snipe .

An idea up for discussion:
2. We are thinking about making some sectors a money-sink. For example a military base or a hospital. Because these things can become quite expensive in terms of maintenance.
3. You can lose control of some sectors if your faction loyalty shifts.
4. Roads and otherwise
