Ships launching from the Goliath no longer scrape the sides of the launch bay.

Very good. Thanks, developers.

So can we expect the Goliath to release for everyone soon then - possibly right after the testing phase through the LTS members is done? It seemed that this was one of the last known critical bugs that disturbed the flight experience...

We're working on the Goliath, but we're also working on 20 other things, so I'm not firmly committing-to or implying any concrete schedule right this second. I hate doing giving specifics, and then being wrong; and frankly we have way too many "moving parts" right now to commit to anything but fluid goals.

I intend for the Goliath to be formally available in the near future. It could be a week or two, it could be "within Q1".

I am still changing things.. I just changed the cargo to 600, for instance. This is the second time we've actually changed the model, because of some developer-errors (the Goliath is kind of a big "artist training" experiment), and other changes may still be needed. We may also change the texture assets as well, but that's a much larger project that basically involves the entire Windows install version.

I also have some other changes in the works that are totally un-announced and un-anticipated, and I'm trying to structure all of that to make sense with the timing of inter-woven gameplay. But, there's been a lot of high-priority busywork lately. Like most of this past-week for me was dealing with dumb, time-sensitive BS, like our code-signing certificate needing to be renewed and re-authenticated, or the batteries going bad in our big extended-runtime UPS, or 15 other "lame" things that have nothing to do with "game-design" and everything to do with keeping the company running and our people as productive as possible. (I'm not really meaning to complain, just mentioning the reality).

So, all in good time.

As long as you don't get rid of the red Swingline staplers in the office it will be fine.

I actually have a red Swingline at home (did you know, they didn't actually make one until after Office Space? the movie had to spray-paint one). I found it at Goodwill for $2. Seemed appropriate to have.

A week or two or atleast in Q1 sounds soon enough for me. Would be great!
