Cloud Imperium shows an impressive StarEngine Tech Demo

In order to showcase the key tech features of the StarEngine, Cloud Imperium released a new tech demo video at CitizenCon 2953.

Tech demo looks great but when will it be released and fully playable?

To have a tech demo this many years later after initial production extremely sketchy to me and most likely means the game is still many many years away from launch if it ever gets there.

I understand the scope of what they are attempting to do but at some point you release the game and add on to it , not add on to it during production forever.

Squadron 42 is feature complete and is now in the polishing phase. They released a whole video about that. Most of the tech they showed off the last two days was / is being developed for SQ42 and is now getting ported over to SC over the next 12 months.
As for "fully playable", you're gonna have to be more specific. The game is playable now and is constantly growing. This will not change until the servers shut down and CIG closes shop.

What would consider a launch for this? Do you mean a marketing campaign and release date announcement? Check out some posters on YouTube. The gane has launched long ago
