Thanks for the update SC! I know it has helped alleviate a lot of concern everyone has had. I myself have camped my email waiting for the glorious SHIPPED message, but I haven't been too worried with the delay. I know the type of dedication to perfection you exhibit. I too use the same methodology when I work on my Fantasy Novel (My first attempt at a complete epic) The way I see it, the extra time just gives me more opportunity to harrass my friends on the Glories of Battlecruiser. I have lost count of how many pics I've emailed people from your screen shots section with messages attached like "The Ultimate Game has finally arrived!", "Must get and see if we to can crash and sink our ships in the ocean!" What I'm saying is to forget the imbecels who are shortsighted enough to harrass you about delays. Your true fans are and always will be here on your side. and if i can do anything about it .... soon the whole world will chant SC! SC! SC!
