My guess is new features for professions that aren't ready yet.

3.20 is listed as a target date of Q3 2023. In the past, that typically means IAE. Even if it is out for CitizenCon (22 Oct) that still doesn't leave enough time for a major working patch by mid December (when they go on their winter break.) I'm thinking no sooner than end of Q1 2024, and I...

3.20 doesn't have Pyro listed. Pyro won't be before 2024 and 4.0 at the earliest.

I didn't say Starfield would cause that much drop off. I was responding to: Pyro launching end of this year, early next was predicated on static server meshing being in the Q1 patch 2023 or Q2 at the latest. Surprise, CIG missed another self imposed deadline. I've been comparing Starfield to...

The Carack comes with an Ursa and a Pices. (Says so on the sales page.) A later picture shows an Aquila instead of an Andromeda, that is also supposed to come with an Ursa and a Merlin (from the sales page). The matrix is wrong calling those Ursas loaners. With those two ships, you should have...

The BMM isn't going to get released any time soon. Work has stopped and resources have been reallocated. It's not a Squadron 42 ship, and everything on it is bespoke.

Who wants it in Squadron 42? I haven't heard anyone from CIG say it was to be in there, and have heard that it wasn't, so it wasn't high on the priority list.

EVen the Gladius doesn't have all the components bays. If they had a Gladiator that was Gold Standard they'd give it to us so they could sell us paints. They told us the Retaliator wasn't done, but at least it's being worked on. And we know other than the Idris, the Bengal, either the Valkyrie...

One further point on a when for Squadron 42. We know the F8A, F7A Mk Ii, Gladiator, Retaliator, and Avenger four of the hero/mission ships and one we have to visit, are not yet to Gold Standard. The ships that are to Gold Standard that we know are in the game, the Gladius and Sabre, are not...

To be honest, I'm not seeing a downside to automated landings and take offs.

That doesn't necessitate the Polaris being in Squadron 42, which is a single player game.

No idea on what, if any, of the timeline still holds true for the story. The original timeline is based on a release date around 2016, because the PU is supposed to be shortly after SQ42 not more than a decade later.

The Battle of Vega II is 2945. The Polaris is first available 2947. Source: https://starcitizen.tools/Historical_timeline

The roadmap isn't representative of work done, or, necessarily, things actually being worked on. For example Chapters 1-30, were all listed and the timeline ended in Quarters 1 and 2 of 2021. The Retaliator Gold Standard timeline ended in Q2 of 2021, the Liberator was Q3 of 2021 as was the...

From Serenity: Who plays the role of the Empire? Are the Vanduul the Rebellion?

Traveller. :)

I remember when that sale occurred. If the financials are accurate that size of an investment is no longer even a year of operating expensives. And they still need an advertising budget if this ever gets to launch. If this ever gets to launch, remember AWS isn't free, CR has ruled out most...

I'm afraid enough drop off to cause CIG to pay attention will result in not enough money to get to even beta, resulting in Star Citizen to simply be abandoned.

Or, it will cause an additional delay while SQ42 gets refactored from the ground up to catch up.

Typically a full game dev cycle is 5 years. 8 years is a little long. Star Citizen/Squadron 42 is over 12 now with no release date in sight. Cryengine is a game engine, so not from scratch. Note that Lumberyard and the following O3DE is still Cryengine. Which makes Starfield much more complex...
