Whilst we will let you know what these criteria are, and hence by deduction of what we have already got show what still needs to be done, providing an exact ETA of release will still be impossible. Coding is a practise riddled with setbacks, bugs, conflicts and hold ups. One things may not work with another, and things occur that one cannot expect. I hate to say it, but we may not have an ETA until it is almost upon us.

Something I would like to do is develop a definition of what our "v1.0" release should contain. The v1.0 release will lift the connection limit on the public builds of engine3, and allow others to run their own SWG precu servers however they like. We have stated before that a v1.0 release should be able to support the ground portion of the game, so we'll start with that.

Tonight I will create a topic in the staff section of the forums and get to work over the next two weeks in coming up with what we need before v1.0, then share that with you guys in the next BiWeekly. With the definition of what a v1.0 release is, a ballpark ETA for release is more feasible."

Just inquiring about the last update on 9/14 where it was said a definition of v1.0 would be made over the last 2 weeks. Whats up with that? I get that coding is wrought with setbacks and bugs and blah blah blah, is defining v1.0 also bug prone? Or did you not know about it and are responding as such?

Polishing code is a procedure we will be performing more often as we get closer to a production quality release. With the CSR's and Q/A team, the polishing process will become more and more integrated into handling of community bug reports. Please help us by getting involved in the community and testing operations - an hour of your time really does help the project. We hope to see more of you on IRC and the TC!

-Team SWGEmu
Just to reiterate what Ramsey said here, the majority of what I have tested so far has been getting more information from bug reports. Most of the QA team is currently working on collecting data for trainers that was brought to our attention from community bug reports. Your bug reports are not only valued by the devs but also by the QA team.

It simply hasn't been defined or even discussed between the staff yet. Give us a little more time, not everything happens in the time frames we predict
