There are two related games being built. One is Star Citizen (the MMO), the other is Squadron 42, a standalone single player game.

The games share almost everything, so work on one benefits the other. Squadron 42 is the one that is now feature complete.

What this means for Star Citizen is two things.

  1. A lot of really cool tech and gameplay features were being held back until they were ready to feature lock SQ42. All of that is now coming directly to SC. Most of it probably in the next big patch (Q1 this year).
  2. Most of the teams working on SQ42 are now being retasked to work full time on SC, so the rate of development for the latter should acellerate significantly.

If you were unimpressed the last time you checked in, now is not the time to come back. But 6-12 months from now absolutely will be. I'm not promising you'll be impressed by then, but you should at least see something new and different.
