Basically they are letting the community choose what they want to see first. The community is mostly aware that we will likely see all of the options presented at some point. Once we are through it (we are currently not even halfway through), there will have been a $10 million stretch where we have added 5 ships and 5 systems. Considering they said they were currently at about 55 systems and the launch plans were for 100+, I don't think that any of this is really straining CIG.
I also don't think people fully understand... Chris Roberts doesn't have to make this game for anyone else. His sole responsibility is to the fans, to make a good game. If that means it takes longer... gamers will bitch and moan... and wait (see: Valve and Blizzard). Plus, along the way we will get bits of gameplay to partially satisfy our curiosity and need to play the game.
