“I’m already building the best game I can,” said Mr. Roberts, who acknowledged the bumps. “But imagine — the game I can build with $140 million is going to be very different to the one I could build with $10 million. If I can build a bigger and more robust experience, I will.”
This game is never going to be finished.

I think if I saw an "actual work done" chart at the end of 2017 that compared the 2017 schedule, and it matched in any way, I'd be feeling much more confident about SC coming together.

It does, though. This was their 2017 schedule:
Continue fund raising
Scope creep
Poorly spliced gif showcase of model
They're already done!

The sooner they admit that this game will not be an MMO, with MMO economies or game-play, and at BEST will be some Shroud of the Avatar "multi-player" space shooter, the sooner we can all stop giving a shit about it.

I have lost even this level of optimism at this point. It is truly amazing that all anyone wanted when this started out was a modernized Freelancer --and here we are 3 years and milllions upon millions of dollar later all we have seen is a handful of shitty buggy modules, none of which remotely resemble what the original backers even wanted.
The whole 'We didn't know how much more money we were going to have for development!' excuse worked year 1... it does not fly over 3 years later when they have had a steady cash flow over the entirety of development. I lol every time I think back to people wondering if this or Elite: Dangerous was going to launch first....

Instanced 16 player dogfights.
4 player instanced PvE survival mode.
Mostly Pointless Open World Space GTA in 1 solar system, but at least you can spawn your ships and go do dinky little missions and camp people.
Some instanced racing which is broken every other patch.
The FPS shootyman bits.
I think that's it.
It looks pretty, and, depending on the patch, most of the physics feel right... but there's real no game there and no real game in sight either.

Well, that was at least 5 dollars worth of funny.
I got an email today about another shipsale, the Aegis Eclipse Stealth Bomber. I am sure some people will jump on this stuff but all I can ask is; Bombing? Stealth? How? When? And also, why? Please explain me why I should want a Stealth Bomber. Is there anything on the development roadmap about conquering (NPC) bases at all, right now, in the near or far future?

Bombers in the Wing Commander series were heavy fighters strapped with torpedoes that were necessary to slice through the shields of capital ships. Bombing runs involved a vulnerable crawl toward the target, waiting for torpedo lock while contending with support fighters and point defenses.
It's the sort of thing that you can do in an actual game, instead of just fantasize about in a tech demo pixel showcase.

I am at the point now that I know longer give a fuck if the single player game comes out and actually want this to fail to see the fucking fallout of the Madoff Virtual ship ponzi scheme. Ship sale after Ship sale, Larping ship shows with parodies of Top gear. That is fucking shit you add after you are successful and swimming in cash to add value in your game to create more money.
