I would say no. They MIGHT do some sort of an 11th hour thing, but I don't think SD even works this late.

Not sure when the next update is now, but it seems like it might have the proposed research system in it. So that probably delayed things.

I wouldn't count on a regular schedule for a few months. :)

We made one internally but there's still a bunch of fixes we want to get in.

As a forum troll, here's the way I would put it: It's November. The time of instability needs to go away now.  So we're spending extra time pouring through the code to clean it up so that we can integrate the new features.

Stability first. Features second.

and the moore features, the moore things that can screw it up. ;) so best to take it slow and fix before adding. ;) btw. Thanks for all your work on this great game.

At least if they get to a stable base, then if things start screwing up they will know to look in the new pieces for the problem. As it is, new features get added, but they don't know if it is old code problems or new code problems.

And granted, new code can cause problems in the old code, I get that. Thanks all you Stardockians for your hard work. Take plenty of time off and enjoy your upcoming holidays, we'll all be here when you get back. :thumbsup:

When you skipped a week before you guys announced it so I kind of figured you had something planned but canceled at late notice. No worries. I was hoping to get some testing before I had left for the weekend.

Looking forward to this week's "stable" patch :D

I guess that this means that we might not have a patch next thursday either. No worries, as long as we believe that you are working full speed :)
