This year if we're lucky?
It's a guess but I'm probaby pretty close.

". . .  We know nothing about them, their language, their history or what they look like.  But we can assume this.  They stand for everything we don't stand for.  Also they told me you guys look like dorks. "

Has there been any thought of building a new Wiki for Aurora C.  Steve's been putting out a lot of good information, and I think it would be a good idea to start capturing this information and organizing it into a Wiki.

Most of it could be automated.  All the mechanics changes are in the C# Changes List thread.

Still no idea on release date. Hardly did anything in April but back on track recently. I am going to work on missile and turret design next, then probably the new game window. Still not even looked at detection or combat or the galactic map and a lot of the movement orders are not done. However, I am away a lot in June so not much progress then either. My plan is to try to start a test game before the end of the summer, even if a good chunk of the game isn't there yet. Playing will motivate me to fill in the missing pieces :)

In terms of a finished game, my latest guess is late this year or early next.

And just when I was getting used to the games mechanics. . .  I suddenly find that all my hard work and dedication were for naught. . . .

YES I GET TO RELEARN THE GAME AGAIN!

At least Aurora C# won't be competing for my attention with the MWO Civil War.
