1. OK for extreme detail everywhere: the more the better, but in real life you cannot have everything and now. Money, people and and time are finite quantities (my wife doesn't yet agree on the latter). Briefly, I prefer an additional flyable plane at the cost of a less detailed bycicle, or no bycicle at all ... not to speak about seamen tying ropes or other oddities.
2. I've nothing against posters asking about seamen crawling back and forth or dying in a gorefest of blood spatter, only I wouldn't like them to drive the focus away from planes, their DM, FM etc... But again, new visitors are most welcome, fresh blood for flight sims...

As one of the authors of the posts about activity on shipping vessels, I feel I should clarify. I don't expect sailors on boats to be tying reefing knots, coiling neat piles of rope, knitting nets etc. What I would love to see is SOME activity on boats, airfields and cities. Sailors diving off boats when strafed isn't that far fetched if you consider that we had troops running away from convoys when attacked 10 years ago!
The fact that Oleg has mentioned busses that follow routes lead me to think that adding 'life' to the environment is something that he's interested in as well.
Lastly, I'm sure Oleg is quite capable of managing his priorities - posts by his fans may give him a sense of what we'd like to see but I doubt this would 'distract' him from his focus.
