They work best without deadlines. After 11 years that should be obvious by now.As of 7 PM last night, still not even any ETA, just "we're working hard on this". This is one week after a total outage and they can't even estimate when the servers will be fully operational again?
Spectrum - v7.46.3
RSI’s Spectrum is our integrated community and player interaction service, including chat, forums, game integration, and Player Organization facilities. Player Organizations (“Org”...robertsspaceindustries.com
Electronic access was a web based shop where subscribers could buy temporary ships or ship upgrades with 'REC', another completely worthless non transferable and subscriber only made up currency to outfit or fly ships for use in Arena Commander...doesn't apply to the PU, neither the upgrades nor ships bought with REC or the currency itself are transferable. The REC is automatically credited to your account every month if you're a subscriber, 10k or 20k per month depending on subscription level, if I remember rightly. I have nearly a million REC sitting dormant in my account from way back when I had annual subs, never used it, ever.
Ci~G shut the web based Electronic Access shop down a couple of years ago.

Probably a lame attempt to avoit the early in access.
Looks cool, but looking at the bigger picture, you can keep that while I'll keep this:
That's great buddy, what's wrong with all those peasants on Spectrum then? - didn't they install it on a quantum computer? and what are CIG 'working on'?
A few days ago Olli covered the disastrous update launch

Well it seems some of the more fanatical zealots attacked him so he felt pressured to respond

Ticks all the boxes
Walking on eggshells
Faith in CI (no G)
Everything is great (even though it obviously isn't)
They implemented persistence for outages, they'll need a new magic tech to solve this one. Wait for the roadmap.
Gives a whole new spin to life imitating art.
All this trouble got me thinking. In a hypothetical scenario where SC does eventually get finished what happens then?
I'm assuming supporters wouldn't be able to pledge anymore because the product is there and there wouldn't be a need to fund further features because as promised, SC is feature complete and an all in one release. What happens then? Does CIG use the remaining money (questionable) to keep the server up? New sales would't be able to sustain all the servers needed, similar to how Ubisoft stopped supporting their older/less popular games.
Would it be a case of a week after the game is released, everyone except server engineers gets fired and a year later the server shuts down?
I know for sure Chris Roberts hadn't thought this far ahead.

My guess is servers could be "operational" right now. What they are really fighting is restoring some kind of reasonably well preserved state.
Nothing happens. Commandos continue with their unhealthy purchasing habits, Crobby laughs manically on his way to the bank, Squadron 42 still does not exist. Also, SC cannot be feature complete, because dreams.txt are an infinite hellscape of bad game design.
He's Iron Man! That's the MK 3.18 Armor.
SC gets "released as it" when macrotransaction funding whittles down, maybe they run servers a little while and then its "the end".
Any Stella Fortuna themed Idrise's?
