Why isn't the 890 Jump being worked on right now, as in built?
TL;DRThe 890 Jump isn't being built now because limited staff are assigned to other priorities like mining, cargo, salvage and Squadron 42 ships, though it remains scheduled to happen before they're done.
Just because it's a matter of assigning resources where they're needed. We have 20 ships to work on and we have the staff to work on three, four at a time. It's just not a win right now to do the 890 Jump. It's still on the schedule. It'll happen before we're done, but it's an assembly line, you build one at a time, not all the cars at once.
And there are other ships that are linked to various game mechanics that I think are probably being prioritized more, like mining and cargo and salvaging and stuff.
Squadron 42 ships as well.
Squadron 42 is a huge focus.
Maybe not the biggest priority at the moment.
But the good news is that once the artists and the designers who are working on the Squadron 42 ships are done, because that project will be released before the whole of Star Citizen, we'll have all sorts of super experienced, talented people working on the ships you're waiting for.
