Is the plan to release SQ42 and the PU at the same time, or will one come out before the other?asked by Bes

TL;DRCurrent thinking, still in process, is to release Squadron 42 episodically in polished batches of missions before the Persistent Universe is finished, leading into its beta.

Good question, I mean from our standpoint I think we want to give you Squadron 42, or at least part of it, before the Persistent Universe is "finished" so to speak. We're kind of toying around with how we could do this with Squadron 42 in a way that falls into the methodology that we're using, the sort of development methodology. 'Cause I think giving you the whole Squadron 42 as just an alpha may not work as well because it's a story so it needs to be fairly polished as far as that goes, so one of our thoughts is to take Squadron 42 and sort of release it episodically before the game is fully finished where you play the first "X" number of missions, that are nice and well done and polished, and then the next "X" number of missions a month later and so on until you're done with Squadron 42 which would lead you on to the beta of the Persistent Universe. So that's currently our thinking, it's still in process right now, but we'll see. But when the game is "finished" properly, obviously Squadron 42 and the Persistent Universe, Star Citizen, Would all be sort of in as part of the package.
