 **ACE3** is a joint effort by the teams behind **ACE2**, **AGM** and **CSE** to improve the realism and authenticity of Arma 3.

-The mod is **built modularly** — almost any PBO can be removed, thus a team can maintain its own tailored version of ACE, which excludes a select number of components that they don't like, or which conflict with other add-ons. Components themselves, like e.g. the medical system, also include various customization options, allowing mission designers to tweak the overall experience.

-### Before requesting
+### Background
+ACE2, AGM and CSE had a lot of features implemented or planned. All of them are or have been evaluated for inclusion in ACE3 itself, and we'd like to port the majority of them eventually. However, due to time constraints, we have managed to finish only a fraction of the job so far.

-
-There's really no point on making feature requests for anything included or planned for inclusion in ACE2, AGM or CSE. The majority of those things are been considered for porting or rewritting already.
+Please refrain from making requests for any planned or existing features from either ACE2, AGM or CSE. Most of them are already being or have been considered for porting or a rewrite.

-    <h5>Please note:</h5>
-    <p>Due to the pace at which development is taking place, we are establishing a feature request embargo during the first week weeks prior and posterior to the first release.

 ### Requesting a feature
+In order to avoid duplicates and keep the issue tracker organized, we have created a common issue for <a href="{{ site.githubUrl }}/issues/414/" target="_blank">ACE 3 Feature requests</a>. Any and all relevant requests should be submitted there, where they will also get discussed and evaluated. Before adding a new one, make sure to check the previous entries from the thread and do a quick search for similar suggestions; please don't reiterate requests for features that had already been accepted for inclusion, or those which were disregarded earlier.
 
-In order not to spam the issue tracker with duplicated requests, we have have created a single <a href="{{ site.githubUrl }}/issues/414/" target="_blank">Issue for feature request</a>. Any and all requests should be done there, where they will get discussed and evaluated. Before posting a new one, please make sure to check the previous entries on the thread and make a quick search; please don't reiterate requests that had already been either accepted for inclusion or disregarded.
