So...does anything more need to be said?

"Squadron 42, the single player campaign for upcoming space MMO Star Citizen, has been delayed indefinitely.
"Chris Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games made the delay announcement during a livestream, stating that while a lot of the basics were complete, a great deal more had to be done. This includes in-progress development on things like pathfinding logic, enhanced flight AI, and the mission integration system.
"The campaign’s 28 missions are simply not done yet, according to Roberts, with some still at the grey-box level. The developer has been notoriously quiet about a release date—up until now, while very little from the campaign had been shown, CIG had still not pushed back the 2016 release window.
"2017 is now the target, but I won’t be holding my breath until a great deal more of Squadron 42 is on the table."
As a space game junkie, I would love for Star Citizen to become reality. But I have my doubts we will ever see what we all hoped we would be playing by now. Hopefully I am wrong.

The only thing that concerns me is that I heard that they were slowing work on the main Star Citizen MP game to focus on the SP S42 as a type of proof of concept for the larger MP game. Now the SP game is delayed as well. Both games at this point are two years behind schedule. I didn't invest in this game so I don't have a dog in the hunt. I am just hoping like heck that when all is said and done we have something that truly reflects the vision and the budget of this project.
