Arena Commander Delayed, Roberts Explains Why

Chris Roberts has posted a new note on the Star Citizen site to explain the delay of the game's dogfighting module, Arena Commander. Roberts explains that, while the team has been hard at work on polish, there were still too many critical issues to allow Arena Commander to be released. 

It would be foolish to release an unstable build, even if pre-alpha for the sake of meeting an internal deadline. This is the power of the crowdfunding that made Star Citizen possible: a publisher would make us ship tomorrow regardless of the current build quality… but as you are all focused on quality rather than a financial return for shareholders we are able to take a few more days to deliver something that is stable.

I know that’s not the news you wanted to hear tonight. No-one would like to see the community get their hands on Arena Commander more than I would.
