we would liek to give you a estimated release date, but we won't. why? because then the same happens as last time "UHHH! WE REACHED THE ESTIMATED DATE! NOW GIVE US V3, YOU PROMISED US!!"
We can't work as hard on Fleet Ops as people work which develop a game as there job. after all Fleet Operations is just a hobby and we have a real life (also it's becomming very small

) too. i spent hours on the Fleet Ops development every day but you can't imagine how much work all the stuff takes. We have quite high standards - our standards are to make a game which looks "professional" and can compete with other professional games. Therefore we often include features, then remove them again after testing or complete rework features. That takes time, yep, but it is worth in the end.
And yep, a donation makes us happy. Every donation means much to us because that shows more then everything els that we are on to reach our goals. And happy people do always work faster then slaves

But now i'm back on texturing the Canaveral. Cu soon
