Do you think they're gearing up for a release? Do you think they're gearing up for another 2 years+ of game development and delays? I personally think it's kind of weird that they're able to stay silent for so long. Surely they must be working on something.

They can't release the game while there is still major new functionality added to the PU like flight model changes, mining changes and trackor beam spaceship weapon equipping.

Of those, only the flight model seems relevant to S42. We're not going to be mining in a military campaign, and I suspect tractor beams won't be a thing either.

I'm pretty sure we will see some tractor beam play in S42 and I wouldn't be surprised if there is some mining missions.

I believe they mentioned recently about weapon balancing as it relates to the flight model changes already in SQ42, since they didn't want to balance now in the PU for changes immanently coming down from SQ42.

So part of me is hopeful that this will be the last overhaul, and they'll settle in and balance everything as their final version! But once that's sorted, they'll still have to balance each combat encounter per mission in the campaign, and go from there.
