Never trust CCP with dates.
Ok, I'll give you that.
What I do trust them to do is engage in pioneering efforts that take us completely off the map of the known world.
Sometimes when you're pioneering like that, kittenpoo happens, and all of a sudden you find yourself in a situation where you've gotta cut, set, splint and sew your own leg.
I'm thinking the tranistion from CARBON to Unreal 3 was something of that nature.
But here we are - still kickin'. |

Mine would be release 1.0 - if the core mechanics aren't slick and polished by then imma gonna have rotten worms churnin' in my belly.
I don't even care about features, I'm letting CCP off real easy here - quality core gameplay is all i'm looking for with release 1.0
What makes it so agonizing is that we are semi released in the sense that there will be no sp reset and now we're married to the grind. But still, i know those devs are working like dogs, I know CCP, and i know i can take the beta-testing pain. As far as the money goes, i'm a big boy and am happy living with my decisions.
What gives me (rational)hope is remembering how big the iteration was for core mechanics with this build - if CCP can iterate like that again in April(or whenever the hell it is) then I'd say DUST is beginning to put down solid foundations.
