when do you think they will put in combat?

When it's done.

Hal, a man of many words...

well, aparently,its coming "soon"tm.

lol, Hal.

Ara just told me that combat is coming out in 15 minutes.

Wait for the Dev Meeting at Berlin (February ?). They usually update the release date on this meeting.

Combat won't be until after R&D, so don't get your hopes up until at least after that's released.

R&D is nearly done, and that counts towards combat, so it should be 1-2 years?

I've also heard that combat is actually already finished, but they can't release it until other things are implemented (R&D for example). I doubt it's true, but I'm just throwing it out there.

If I remember correctly, they are hoping to have R&D done either before or completed at the developers meeting. Shouldn't be too long after that ;)

Indeed it is not true.

“If I remember correctly, they are hoping to have R&D done either before or completed at the developers meeting. Shouldn't be too long after that ;) ”

I'm afraid not. At the meeting we need to nut out how R&D will function as a feature i.e. what you will need to have (materials, credits, npcs, kittens, et al.), where you will need to be and who you will need to be. The hard work (the equations) are already done - this is just the "trivial" bit.

With that decided we then start coding it.

And combat gets delayed a month every time someone asks when its going to be released. THis may not be true.

"And combat gets delayed a month every time someone asks when its going to be released. THis may not be true."

Im afraid that its partially true. It gets delayed 12 hours everytime someone asks...I think >_>

And while Khan and the code monkeys do that, myself and the art monkeys have to make hundreds of corresponding images. So it might be a little while.

No combat yet...That sucks!

so go play doom 3 instead ^,..,^
but don't say SWC sucks.

wow, way to bump an old thread for no reason :D
