Okey, so Idris-M, Aegis Javelin are supposedly quite far in development on SQ42 side of things.
Javelin is 60/70, Idris-M is 49/64. Of course, these are "only" the implementations for SQ42, so could be some functionality required for SC will be missing. However, all the heavy lifting should be done, like designing the interiors etc, so whatever needs to be done for SC, like defining cargo grids, maybe actually placing thrusters, some interactable stations not required for SQ42 and so forth, shouldn't require that much work. Should be more or less routine from implementing the same stuff on every single other ship in the universe.
I mean, sure, it'll require work. But it's not going to take another year. (Conspiracy hat: Unless they WANT it to take longer for some fundraising reasons, they have quite well designed sales schemes.) Now, side note, these were on the roadmap for Q3, which they obviously missed by... quite a lot. Could be there is some unseen blocker or some work intensive task taking up time, or maybe some key person quit/got sick.
Also coming along nicely are MISC Hull-C and RSI Bengal, they were supposed to be on Q4 milestone, but... eh, they'll be running late along with Q3 milestone for sure. I'm thinking we might see Hull-C in 4.1 roadmap. Or maybe even added to 4.0
Greycat Industrial Cydnus. Hmm.
Well, I think this explains why the current roadmap seems rather light on vehicles. The vehicle team is working on these and a whole bunch of vanduul ships for SQ42.
