ICYMI, Chris Roberts in a recent broadcast has confirmed (@ 50:20) what sources told (it was 12-18 months out, and that it was on hold) me last year, that Squadron 42, the single-player Star Citizen companion game, wasn't coming out in 2018.
Yesterday I wrote an in-depth article regarding recent developments.
I have now updated it with highlights of that broadcast (which occurred after my article was live)
You thought I was kidding when I said a month ago some big things were going on.

In that same broadcast, there were so many revelations - mostly of defeat and that I was right about the project - that you have to watch the whole thing to fully grasp the gravity of it all.
He also basically said the project, 6 years and $190M later, is “a bit of a mess”.

As if by coincidence, John Pritchett, Ph.D, has made it public that he has exited the project.
He’s being replaced by a jnr dev (Dave Colson) who’s only worked on basic FPS games.
Don't worry though, everything is fine!

JP was responsible for IFCS flight model, physics etc.
Other key devs left the project these past few months, but haven't made it public - so I'm not inclined to name them.
Sources in past 24 hrs tell me that neither Star Citizen nor Squadron 42 will EVER see the light of day.

- Roberts kids on AtV shilling ships to gullible whales
- chris throwing truth bombs on RtV
- key devs leaving the project
- next bombshell is in the making (public soon)
- Feds finally doing their homework
The E.L.E is real.

CORRECTION: The SQ42 not coming in 2018 is @ 49:30
JP released his IFCS model before he left
So yeah, they're totally faking atmospheric burn. Who knew?

IFCS has insurmountable issues a jnr dev isn't going to get past.
It's hamstrung by the fact that they are using an underlying engine (CryEngine/Lumberyard) which wasn't designed for such fidelity and constructs.

They’re going to have to either scrap all of it - or just leave as-is.
Anyone who thinks they can just waltz in and take over a software discipline they didn’t already spend DECADES on, is delusional.
Math is hard.
