It was orginally targeted for 2020 Q2 (of course "originally" it has been announced for 2016 I think?) and now they once again delayed it by another 3 months. I have been a strong supporter of star citizen (i never backed sq42) but this year they did so much crappy stuff like wanting money for customizing your ship or paying real money to have a coffee machine in your ship.
so much gameplay stuff from the roadmap last year has disappeared and the new roadmap is so light. the funny thing is they said at the beginning of the year:
"we're revamping the roadmap to only show items we're 100% confident we can accomplish"to "actually we need more time to give you the best experience possible really trust us this time" in less than a year.
Also adding the classic "when we got things we already have made working we'll have more gameplay than anything out there already"
i have been hearing this for years....

You will of course notice that our target Beta date for Squadron 42 has moved back by 12 weeks in today's Roadmap update, but this is a necessary step as a result of changing the overall development cadence, which we expect will create positive results in the overall delivery and experience of Squadron 42.
