Star Citizen Squadron 42 Delayed [Oct 10, 2016, 09:10 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Squadron 42 campaign for Star Citizen is delayed until 2017,
reports Kotaku UK, saying the news was revealed during a livestream from
CitizenCon. The first chapter of the single-player side of the space simulator
was most recently supposed to come to backers this year, but this news confirms
rumors of a delay that surfaced
last month. On the bright
side,
Eurogamer notes that Cloud Imperium Games released a new video showing off
how planets will be procedurally generated in the game, along with other
tidbits, including a sandworm, though they don't specify whether this is showing
us Beetleguise or Dune. Back to the delay, the Kotaku UK story offers two
slides with details on the state of the project, and here is what those say:

Valve basically went back to the drawing board with the original Half-Life and that went onto be one of the definitive video games of all time; Team Fortress 2 was originally completely unrecognisable from the game it became; Valve also had major issues with Half-Life 2, resulting in significant delays but people now remember it as an all time classic game. What matters is the end result - iteration is an important aspect of video game development.
Actually, yes it is. If expanding the scope of the project means having to throw out hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of work, then you have done something wrong in the planning and/or execution. You aren't 'expanding' anything. It's the difference between building a house and then building an extension, and building a house, bulldozing it flat and then building a bigger one.

There's only so long the critics of the game can bash the game before it proves them wrong, as it has done many times already. It's a major technological challenge and CIG has been doing an astonishing job. I have my issues with the game's development but overall it's moving very much in the right direction.
Honestly I don't know why you keep coming here (or myself for that matter) and trying to show most these morons how things are coming along and how their "facts" are non-facts. The Tech that RSI and the other teams have produced for SC and SQ42 is just jaw dropping and no one around here could do the same or wish they could do the same.
...
I like your determination and your passion to show these clowns what SC is going to be but like or the DEV road map but when they or something they state as truth is proven wrong, they move on to another complaint or another falsehood. And I doubt you'll ever change most of their minds. Oh and like I said before, you know almost if not all have or will get SC when its released so I think its funny in that way ...
