How far along is the Polaris?
TL;DRThe Polaris is still where it was after concept, with no production progress; work is probably estimated to start around April or May after the 600i, hopefully moving into whitebox.
So the Polaris, there's good news and bad news there. Unfortunately, we haven't actually put it further into production ever since the concept sale. However, I can tell you that it is currently the absolute next priority within the ship pipeline right after we finish up the 600i. And that is basically scheduled to start probably around April, May is when we're currently estimating that to begin. So hopefully all goes well on the 600i, everyone can get that as soon as possible, and we'll start on the Polaris.
I do want to stress the operative word there, guys, was probably. These are artistic creative endeavors, so you do your best to estimate, but you never know quite how long it's going to take.
No, exactly. And I think that's the key for it, right? We have a date, what we aim for. We would ideally like to hand off work on the 600i to other disciplines, but we do end up still supporting other disciplines. Tech art might come on and go, oh, well, there's something wrong with the damage states here, we now need to look at it, we need art support. Then we go back onto the 600i. But ideally, we hope to start it April, May.
So the answer to how far along is the Polaris? It's where it's been. It's there at the completion of concept, and we're hoping to push it forward into whitebox in April.
Exactly.
