Actually - refueling is very heavily needed for Pyro to even begin to think about crossing the system. It's huge compared to Stanton. So no, the Starfarer wont be irrelevant any time soon.
Pyro ? Where is it ? Did you go there ? Did you test it ? How did refuelling go for you ? Actually how does refuelling goes at all ? Look, even most of the things they promised 5 years ago are not there yet in the base game with just 1 system. Cultists have told me every year since then, that Pyro would be around at the end of next year... Guess what you guys are saying right now ? Yeah, thought so.
Yes. Accounting for Nyx that should have one planet done, and given CiG current velocity to make just one system placing every single blade of grass by hand, that's the semi-optimistic view of the next decade of "early alpha !!".
Well I mean that would require them to fire most of those 100 people just working on the Systems at their new studio,
Oh yeah, these guys, wow, so fast, 6 years to make one system. Hope they get a bit faster for the next one.
just have a single guy making System names up and writing dates.
Building a strawman doesnt help your argument.
As Nyx is most likely finishing up Planet wise, there's gonna be 3 Systems done by the end of next year if we're lucky.
Nyx has just the one as it was ejected from Stanton. We'll be lucky to have Pyro at all, which seems to be delayed indefinitely due to "server meshing" or whatever excuse of the day.
