Personally I think if you asked FD about the shipyard, a while ago, they would of said it needed polish. The shipyard is brilliant, it's gorgeous. I understand the 'first review' argument. But there are also projects that grind on, waiting a release that never comes, then the project collapses. Get it out, lets play, keep developing.
Is adding more ships polish? Was the shipyard polish? If it is I'd like to see a before and after shot of your shoes dude. Dig out the Beta 3 change list. There was a month between Beta 2 and Beta 3, I think. Similar level of change? Yes please!
