"The keyword for this month has been ROADMAP. Lots of scheduling and planning has been going on this month for 2016, and we’ve made good progress in laying down a roadmap for features and content."
-------------------------- quote above this line - opinion below ---------------------------------
After only 3 years working on the Alpha Concept (PU 2.0), marketing, selling ships and decorating the offices around the world we have entered the planning phase for 2016 in February of 2016. Some cynical people might say, "it's a bit late to plan for 2016 when it is already February", to them i say, "It's ONLY February, there is plenty of time this year to finish the plan."
This is great news for everyone since whenever this planning and roadmap is done we get all the cool features from the stretch goals. Maybe we even get some more working ships and Star Marine PU FPS. They should also be able to give us a release date after planning. I hope it's this year in winter, i have lots of time to traverse the 'verse with my fellow commandos!

What do you think we will get from this cool planning and road mapping?
Do you think we get a release date for SQ42?
Have faith!

They have been spending tens of millions of dollars from pre-sold and promised product and only NOW are the putting together a plan for features and a roadmap to deliver the same?
What kind of idiots are running the show at CIG?
All of that planning and a "roadmap" should be in place BEFORE you start major development.
Unless you want to waste massive amounts of time, money and effort, of course.
For anyone who has managed a project of any type professionally, this all screams "mismanagement" and "amateur hour".
But then, they were using "donated" and not investor funds, so who cares right?
Right........
You can't just start planning willy-nilly when your concept is not fully done yet and you have to sell ships and make TV shows.
Have Faith!

Oh wait, it turns out Star Marine was not even close to being released. It looks like they dont always do what they say...
You guys are my e-heroes.
I think they are just having fun dragging down a great developer like Chris Roberts and a great game like Star Citizen because they don't have the money to buy cool spaceships.

Seriously, you guys are a joy to watch. Both you and the space bunny make my day every time I hit this site.
It wasn't that long ago where to enter a beta all you needed was to sign up and wait for an email, but then some publisher decided it'd be a good idea to sell Founder's Pack, which people purchased and continues to do so today, and now if you really want to get into beta you're going to have to pony up some cash on a Founder's Pack simply for the privilege of testing their game. Players funding such an unpredictable and greedy project like Star Citizen are sending a similar response "Shoot your ideas and ships that don't even exist yet, we'll pay you anyway". That train of thought is scary, and deserves to be ridiculed by players.
I think sharing you view and opinions on a project is great, but some of these guys are looking high and low for what ever they can find to prove their point and why they are right. They're doing it for their own needs not for the players, games or industry. This is probably my whole problem with these kind of threads.
If this were a regular company they would have to answer to their board or CEO. With crowd funding they have to answer to the crowd as they become the oversight as primary, actual or potential investors.

SC comes when it comes, if it comes. Do I want to lose the money, no. However, I consider it lost as soon as it leave the account.

Will it be the promised multi-genre-jack-of-all-trades game? I doubt it.

BTW i originally said incompetent was not likely but i jumped over the fence not long after.
I some how think it doesn't even matter to the supporters,it almost feels like H!Z1,they don't care if they are playing one map same cycle content over and over all day everyday.
No big deal to me really,i never gave the guy any money and never will.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I think people are looking that the words too literally. Common sense says that there has been some planning. you don't get that many people together and start coding without plans.

Will just leave this here.
Star Citizen – The Extinction Level Event
4/13/15 > ELE has been updated look for 16-04-13.

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
Greetings Citizens,
2016 is here, and we’re ready to rock! We kicked off the month with a series of summits in the UK and Los Angeles to prepare for the new year. There’s still one more to go, an AI summit in Frankfurt happening next week, but we’re ready to take on 2016! Now that our i’s are dotted and our t’s crossed, we’re ready to continue getting some great content out to the community. Specifically: going forward, you can expect to see regular updates to the Star Citizen Alpha. We are shooting for one significant patch each month. Expect to see this cycle repeated: numerous PTU test patches followed by a live release and then a lull as content for the next patch is prepared and integrated. As I write this, the team is working on content for Alpha 2.2. Expect to hear more about this release very soon! Meanwhile, here are the specifics of what each Star Citizen studio was working on in January…
This is how the monthly report starts.
[mod edit]
The military has multi year plans, but you have sub plans regularly during the entire period.
As for SC specifically, I'm not in the planning, but I'm just going with what I believe to be logical. I could be wrong and the whole thing could be done with only a very broad goal in mind. However, I don't see how this can be.
I self identify as a monkey.
If you are trolling a game to the point that you are in every thread even remotely connected to that game you have something invested. If you are pushing a game and apologizing for every fuck up of the devs you have something invested. It's nothing to be ashamed of, you have an axe to grind and it's transparent to anyone on the outside looking in.
I personally hope the game takes another 2 years to hit beta just so I can continue to have flame wars to read for my amusement.
