well, I can say that from our point of view, we would like to release ASAP. Even if that means before Player Cities are available. The biggest things coming down the pipe right now for testing are:
Creature Experience
Working Heightmaps (So we can put random lairs and creatures all over planets, and more closely work on each one).
Housing, Factories, Harvesters. (McMahon thinks he has about a month of polishing on this stuff before it's ready to be pushed to test center. We'll see how it pans out!)
Crafting (Kyle successfully crafted the first suit of Composite Armor, including all sub-components, 2 days ago. His crafting formulas are working VERY close to pre-cu, perhaps identical. All that SHOULD be left with crafting is some data entry and scripting. All pretty fast stuff. So that's exciting. We should see some crafting on Test Center VERY soon!)
And Combat 2.0 (This is nothing like any sort of balancing or **** like that, this is just PanchJr going in and taking the proper amount of time and giving the right amount of attention to each combat profession to make sure that it's handled as closely as possible to pre-cu conditions as possible. It should be hitting TC before too long.)
