November 2014 was the original date that Roberts said would be the go-live for the Squadron 42 single player component with the PU beta following in Q1 of 2015. Obviously they missed that by a mile, but my point is that if they had stuck to the features they had promised at the end of the initial wave of crowd funding they might have been able to hit those goals, or at least be a lot closer than they are now. But with every new feature that they add in the goalposts get moved back, so when 2016 comes around I fully expect Roberts to be talking about this awesome new feature where you get to raise your own virtual pet in-game and that he expects a PU alpha sometime in 2017
