Like what? What features specifically have they been talking about (for more than 10 years) which have yet to be implemented? Most of the core systems seem to be there, just seems like they're polishing up what's already in the game.

The last one that's missing is IIRC Jump-points and they're adding that within 3 months. They're still fleshing out salvage and the dynamic economy stuff, but the initial implementation is there.

If I'm wrong though I am all ears.

I could have sworn when I pledged in 2014-2016 (can't recall at the moment) I pledged cause Squadron 42 was hyped to be released in a much shorter time. I'm not complaining, I spent some more cash on it, but I thought I was going to get a fancier single player space game before now. I loved Wing Commander as a kid, even had to get a tech to figure out the highmem.sys and possibly other optimization in the windows .bat files to even play so wanted to play the newest of Chris Rpberts.

Of course maybe I misunderstood at the time and it wasn't supposed to be coming that soon, which is why I'm not bothered even if it passed, I think they are trying but got into feature creep. I haven't logged on in over a year now but I keep an eye on things to try when it seems interesting and get use out of my HOTAS.

Since you're replying to every comment I've made - Alpha still doesn't have a set meaning. It changes between people who use it.

Logging in and doing the content you couldn't do when you originally bought it still means it's progressing and yes, it qualifies as a game no matter how mad that makes you.

What part of "it's still being fucking developed" keeps getting past you bud? "It's just a tech demo, it's not a complete game" - no fucking shit. You being pissy that it's not done as fast as you want it is entitlement and you should really grow the fuck up.
