They ran into issues with the physics, and opted to do full rewrite for that part. This is why it’s taking some time and we got no new ETA although word is the new version is already being tested.

Naw man. Just no.
Don’t be like that. They are a smallish outfit working with a huge amount of code, all of it intertwined in a million interesting ways. They do not have a sweatshop full of in-house testers like the ubisofts and activisions of this world.
So a showstopper multiplayer bug popped up in the final testing. Shucks. Let’s be mature about that eh. C’est la vie.
Here, have a picture of a kitten:

Ok, I give. I’ve been staring at that kitty-gif for like, 10 minutes now. Trying not to like it. But I can’t. I just can’t. 
…I’m ready to tell you where Jimmy Hoffa’s body really is.

I think that you’d have a pretty good chance there Will, given your status as a senior Mudspike reporter and given how the Navy will ■■■■■ themselves at any media opportunity. Er, sorry, that’s the Friday afternoon quarantine Cuba libre talking.

Screenshots do not tell all the story.

I’d argue it possibly inspires MORE confidence. Rather than releasing a broken product which would need patching after release before being functional, they showed that the QC procedures caught a bug and they took the extra time to fix it. I’m happier with this outcome than I would be sitting and downloading something that crashed to desktop or didnt work as advertised out of the box and having to download a fix later. It’s a bit much to be calling them unprofessional for doing a job properly just because we’ve been inconvenienced in a terribly minor way.

From Misha codemonkey who told Wags that da boss, is good be ready for deployment next veek. And then an ugly MP bug popped up. You can bet both Misha and Wags are sad about it and especially Misha will now thoroughly Scotty his estimates. aye cap’n she’ll have full warp power in six hours (while he knows he can probably fix the thing in half an hour). Kirk: you have two hours Scotty! Scotty: grins

Small Update from Russian Forums
*"In Russian forum, USSR_Rik –
*Quote:
One of the key problems of the new module is the players’ work “not according to the rules”. It’s good when everyone steers and flies as in life — that is, they are supposed to follow the rules of taxiing, work with their deck crew, take off, get in touch with the landing and withstand the landing and crew parameters.
But if the player does something wrong, to teach the AI to resolve such situations turned out to be very difficult, although from a third perspective everything is simple and obvious. But the light at the end of the tunnel is already visible (and this is not an oncoming train)*

No software release date is set in stone. It can always change.
Not really. It is software development. Maybe, because that’s what I do for a living, I set my expectations around that. For me, it will be ready when it is ready. Hopefully, I am ready at the same time 
Yeah. That is going to be the hardest challenge. Dealing with everything going according to the flight deck operations plan is hard enough. Dealing with the play (a human) doing anything they want, is somewhat more difficult.

I had noticed the whole “don’t put one thing over another unless you want it on top” placement thing…actually comes in handy some times.
Is there a way that you can override that and put something inside another - thinking a plane in a hangar. You can sort of put one in sticking half way out.
