to drag the thread back on topic 
Why is it that when we discuss SC development in english the words seem to have different meanings depending not on our own native language but on our current opinion or view about the project? We all observe something like a delay but for some its a warning sign or hinting at internal problems while others relax and think everything is a-okay cuz CIG is taking their time? I m pretty sure a lot of misunderstandings or friction in regards to Star Citizen is born out of lost-in-translation issues but thats something I would expect and understand from private people/backers....not the company itself.
Scientists all over the world manage to communicte and work on the same basis because they have learned to establish a baseline and adhere to it. Certain parameters have the exact same meaning regardless where you are on earth and where you are coming from. When you use a specific term it doesnt matter if you do it in english, german, russian or whatever...that term has a fixed meaning. I was under the assumption that coding and game development underlies the same ruleset.How else would teams from all over the world be able to work efficiently together? Sure you have new words being invented all the time but usually out of necessity due to improvements or creations where old terms are simply insufficient.
Now with SC we suddenly stumble over stuff like "release" or "alpha", "win" and other basic stuff that everybody understands or should understand. Why is CIG so interested in rewriting an established system when all it does is confusing everybody...including their own developers?
