Not believing anything until its in. Nice to see they are thinking about shipping the game, but i have a feeling this will take a good 5 years minimum

[BeHeaven]

At this point not even the elevators are working. How about we get the basics done first before aiming for 1.0?

[BobWobbles]

I'm not upset about the things that have been shaved off 4.0. I'd much rather they get server meshing up and running before they do anything else. The PU is all over the place atm (good one day, horrible the next) so for me the most important thing is getting some stability and consistency into the network. Getting that done then worrying about the other stuff is what I'm hoping for. Stability is the essential thing and everything else is just the gravy at this point.

[eavdmeer]

Wow, call me a cynic, but that 1.0 thing is one big vaporware display. It's literally nothing but marketing hype. This really doesn't belong in there.

[rhinous]

Welcome to Star Citizen! This is exactly how it’s been for over a decade. Promise a lot of features for a certain patch, gut the patch of most content but still release the patch, pr spin said lack of content as a GOOD thing, sell more ships. Rinse and repeat… for a decade. Lol. I said this would happen. It’s like clockwork.

[pauldrice]

Look the game's to buggy to have permanent injury or death.
The other day I just exploded for no reason like 2500m above the surface of a planet.

[BigBobBlazer]

It can totally do salvage. If it can fit a Scorpius/Sabre, it might fit a Vulture. You could store a lot of RMC in the Polaris.

[xtradi]

The version number is just that number. Until I can play, I take it with an extra dose of skepticism

[fishfighter]

I'm so glad engineering has been pushed back.

[metalmeltdown]

After 4.0, they need to focus a lot of attention on optimizations and server QoL upgrades. The game is great when it works, but half of the battle is fighting the server to open doors and find glitched out npcs. Just tonight, I was killed by an invisable object in the air near a bounty. Like hitting a wall with nothing in sight.

[IrisCorven]

If they're pushing Engineering back, SM 1.0 better be a DAMN big improvement on performance, or there really is no point to logging back in for 4.0. Pyro is just Stanton with no consequences and some PvP FPS. I care nothing about either of those things if the game still dips down to 3-5 sFPS on the reg.

[ufeelinselfrighteous]

I BET THE CONCEPTS STAY ON THE ROADMAP

[DanteSerrano]

Given their current delivery status, promises for this year, and the state of the servers and game, all of this sounds like unsupportable fiction. I hope they can attract new backers to pay because my wallet is closed.

[benmiller]

Eventually this game will need a large support staff to handle the wrongful loss of stuff issues the lazy programming and server reliability issues lend themselves to.

[scottgust]

SQ42 was promised in 2016, in 2024 they announce it will be 2026 after saying it was feature complete a full year ago...hate to tell new players, but all of the crap at citcon is 2-5 years away..making SC a 17 year old alpha. hold the line? cmon man, howbout "HOLD CIG ACCOUNTABLE" instead?

[MikePhilbin]

1.0 is two to five years away... Chris won't like that. He MADE A PUBLIC RESPONSE TO @Camural for such a wild accusation a few years ago. And @Camural was STILL RIGHT. LOL.

[vulcand]

Im bored of the Polaris, it has been coming for too long. They had to add more bells and whistles to build more hype but no thanks. It is time to address the backlog of other ships.

What I see is CIG addressing the main gripes the community has had with general management and other smaller problems.
It's like watching a politician doing damage control. All words, no meat.

[Terranva_Plays]

1.0 in 4 years. Like no BS i can see 2030 being a good target launch date.

[dnash]

4.0 is pretty much just ships now they have taken out engineering and fire
