Yeah, that's pretty fair to say. The big part of that is, as a team, we wanted to make the main focus of our improvements the flight model, because that's what Star Citizen is. It's about flight and flight to these planets. There isn't any point in having amazing ground vehicles if the journey to those planets is terrible. So our focus is getting the flight model to a standard that we're really happy with and that has the feature set that we wanted. And then once we're happy with that, we can move on to the ground vehicles as they become more critical, because as more ground vehicles get released and the planets get better, you can take these ground vehicles around the universe and drive them on all kinds of planets.

I mean, that being said, some of the technology that was developed for spaceships will also apply to ground vehicles. An example would be the learnings from the spaceship audio passes. They cannot be copied directly, but large portions of that can be used on vehicles as well. So it definitely speeds up the vehicle development as well.
