Some people have staggeringly short memories. It's only two months since 1.3 was released, prior to which a thread announcing the due date for that patch ran to 76 pages. That thread started with "great, thanks for the info" and then gradually descended into accusations that Egosoft were liars (apparently in some cases based on the fact that the poster's Christmas holiday started earlier than Egosoft's). The comment by esd is not based on wild assumptions, it is based on experience of what happens
every single time.

Why is it so difficult to grasp the concept that there simply isn't new information to give out every couple of days? When there is something new to say, it will be said, but people are
not going to post "nothing new to report" every day, partly because it is a waste of time and partly because no-one appears to believe it when it is posted.

Well now you've got all the information. That is the status and, if you read BurnIt!'s post carefully you will be able to work out that it is likely to stay that way until the particular issue is solved whereupon there will be another announcement saying that the patch is ready. If the situation changes then there will be another post. If there is no post then you know that there is no change.
