-We're going to see 3.0 release much earlier than "mid-year."
-SQ42 will, at the very least, have a level (or few levels) drop this year. Though, I'm optimistic for a full release before end-of-year.
-Certain evocati will begin testing 3.0 very, very soon.

July 28th Schedule Report

Yeah, that slip is incorrect. Sources tell me that no way on this God's Earth is Sept even a realistic time frame. But you already knew this, because I TOTALLY CALLED IT three weeks ago. They're now doing the delays a little bit at a time to avoid panic. Good plan if you ask me.

Citizens getting salty that Frontier is worth more than CIG has crowdfunded, even after they squeezed all of the blood out of the ED stone. Beet a is a top SC streamer, and WTFO rage quitting because of Beet. Citizens entering a state of depression after finding out evocati isn't this week, even though they gave it away earlier this week that they are crunching hard for Gamescom.

I always like the reddit Friday schedule thread.

Some poor backer expresses his apathy and disappointment in the first paragraph of their post.

But in the second paragraph talks about how once 3.0 hits future updates should be quicker.

Im only disappointed that 3.0 is delayed but once 3.0 releases all is forgiven because I hate myself and have foolishly given a cretin hundreds of my hard earned dollars. Will nobody save PC GAMING or shall we wallow in the depths of console lunacy until the end of days

I know some of us have ribbed MoMA about his contingency plan of unloading his ships on the grey market if the game looks to be in trouble, at least to an even greater degree than it does now. However, this citizen has a mindblowing ironclad contingency plan that nobody had previously considered, and I think with this new knowledge I might be sufficiently confident to buy in.

This guy also gets asked why anyone would ever want to crew anyone else's ship. He says some people have friends, and they'd do it. He's then asked why would anyone pay the outlay equivalent to being an in universe 1%er to keep up a ship for friends to crew. His response is something about having money.

Then this other SC supporter chimes in, "You rich guys will hopefully let a pleb like me crew for you. As long as I can share the profits why not? It seems like a good deal."

Cue the radar operator on an Idris earning $2.15 an hour, showing up to work half the time with no one there, and getting fired because he answered a question wrong on a personality evaluation. It'll be just like real life. Don't be too hard on the ship owners, they're providing jobs. They made the investment in those ships.

I so badly hope this poo poo show goes live.

Oh yeah, cloud bandwidth prices...the poo poo ain't cheap. Like I've said before...have a base package? After 40 downloads/patches they've lost money on you.

Then some idiot posted in the schedule thread about Amazon forcing out the delta patcher because Roberts negotiated a flat rate and all the downloads are raising the alarm bells at AMZN hq and want to renogiate/refactor the bandwidth agreement.
