The only thing we have is that they claim it's "feature complete" which could mean anything based on how they use language in regards to their progress.

For all we know they mean all of the mechanics are done but the campaign and most missions still need created. It could still be years away from release.

SC has been almost 7 years overdue even based on the most distant projections for launch and it keeps just puttering down the road for as long as people keep buying ships I guess. The poster child of what companies will do when people keep giving them money for the pleasure.

They've turned game development into a live service business model instead of just making a product and selling it.
