ETA on Legends?

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

You MUST NOT release it without a HUGE update to pirates. Pirates are one of the MOST IMPORTANT features of the game. They should get HUGE improvements, like their own black market economy, ability to become a syndicate and more. Distant Worlds exists only because of the PIRATES. Without pirates you simply don't have DW, period. They must be given thorough consideration and attention.
If you fail the pirates, you will find a jolly roger painted on your front door the day before you disappear without a trace.....

Just make sure you release a competitively priced complete edition with both expansions because I know that would tip quite a few people in favour of buying DW!

You really need to price below a blockbuster title to drain some customers away from the mass market.
I've been beta testing myself for decades.

I like the fact that most features in DW can be turned on or off. I don't like pirates and play without them.

I will seriously be looking at that as well. I just watched the Lets Play series and have vaulted this game up to the top tier of my list. A bundled complete edition would certainly put it over the top.

We have a likely gold master candidate. We'll be testing it over the weekend to be certain. If testing goes well, we will aim to release on next Wednesday, November 23rd.

That's earlier then I expected.....good to know ahead of time, need to make room for it pronto.

EDIT: In fact, if you could delay it a bit I'd appreciate it [:D]
