It has been a wild ride these past few months. We had several team members out of action due to real life issues, and the work on the interface was extremely laborious (much more so than you would think). However, we wanted to stay true to the Wing Commander essence even using the FS engine, and thus we believed that the time invested in the interface was worthwhile.
We are currently doing some testing, and missions seem to be working great. There are really only a handful of bugs left. We just have a couple of things (some of which are out of our hands) that remain to be done. We have talked about a general timeframe a few times (which I am not at liberty to discuss, on pain of Tolwyn and Starman pile-driving me), but a lot of the issues that were holding us up in September have been resolved. There is actually only one really major issue that I can think of right now, and that is the fiction viewer. We are considering options right now.
We realize we have been saying that it is close for quite some time now, and we certainly aren't trying to toy with you by doing so. The delays due to rl have been inevitable, and the delays due to development shifts have been, in hindsight, well-warranted and will improve the quality of the product when we deliver it.
Thank you so much for your patience. This time, when we are saying soon, it is in a much more proximate way than how we were saying it in September. It won't be long now.
