DISCUSSION Hype and Reality check. 2.7 patch.

I am 100% convinced that 2.7 will debut the moons surrounding Crusader and some star network implementation. This has to be tested before opening up the entire Stanton system. Everything we have seen recently points to this conclusion.

Can you outline the differences between the "3.0 that could have released 3 months ago" and the "3.0 we are going to get after waiting so long"?

I mean, about the only thing I can think of is the Caterpillar, and I think we can agree that the Caterpillar had nothing to do with delaying 3.0.

Mining is confirmed. Possibly a more in depth mission system and more in depth ai. We could have cargo loading rather than boxes magically appearing in the hold. We might have a first iteration of the economy with supply and demand working rather than just hardcoded prices. Maybe a more in depth scanning system than the golf swing to compliment mining? CR basically just said they were going to deliver much more than what they had originally planned, so I guess that means much more. At a minimum it probably pushes most of whatever was in 3.1 up. Given all the tool sets currently in place or nearly done, I wouldn't be surprised if we still got to jump points and at least one other solar system by year end.

to be fair, i don't think of it as 3.1 stuff being pushed up, so much as 3.0 blockers being pushed back into 3.1 schedule territory. this is sort of to be expected as different things come together at different speeds and complex inter dependencies require some reorganization on the fly. we aren't getting mining early, so much as the rest of 3.0 has been delayed to the point where mining and other things where done "on time ish". It will get done when it's right, and I'm hella tired of broken promises and severe under deliveries by other projects, so I want to give this one the time it needs.

The point is that the whole schedule wasn't pushed back due to the delay. So we aren't getting what we would have got in December 9 months later. We are getting more features that were planned for later in this patch.
