Calling it the "Open Jacket Uniform" can be a bit confusing I think since whenever I read that I keep imagining Picard's jacket that he had for a while. I have an idea however, it may not catch on but I propose we call it the "Fan Service" uniform.
Pretty much this. We work in technology. So, it's best to plan for every occurrence. This includes the possibility that delays can and will happen.
What could cause such a delay?
The person designing the missions could contract Klingon Targ flu and be out for a week. Leaving someone else to pick up and carry the mission forward.
An unexpected bug may be introduced at the last moment, which requires us to push the release back a touch to fix it, otherwise, it may go live, and you would not be happy with the state it's in.
Skynet could come online. We do have contingencies in effect just in case, but, it means a slight delay in our release windows.
Much as we try to keep Q out of the server rooms, sometimes he does get in there and cause some mischief. It's hard to protect sensitive data and equipment from an Omniscient Omnipotent being.
So, when I say that delay's might happen, it's not because we';re planning on delaying something. It's because in the world of technology, things go wrong sometimes.
Thanks,

You gotta love how our Developers and Community Managers love their trek as much as we do.
Feature Episode Series 3 Starts this month! (featuring the ROMULANS)
Am I right?
I spoke with the Orion Girl in the Aenigma Anomaly (?) and she had a message from the future for me about Romulans (remember last time it was about the Breen? hint hint)

Not to steal stormshade's thunder... but now that I'm back among the living I can shed some light on what's going on.
While I don't have specific dates to share, I can show you what I have on my January Calendar:
Decision whether to turn Foundry on Holodeck or wait till next Foundry Update
Feature Episode Series 3 Starts this month! (featuring the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _)
All Good Things Uniforms
Vulcan Player Ship
Prep for 1 year Anniversay on Feb 2
Prep for 400 day vet rewards Feb 19
We've also started work on Season 4 features as well as a few new surprises which I'll get to once I finally get to the Engineering Report.
Btw... Star Trek is doing great! Welcome to all the new players!
Right now on Tribble the Foundry is at Version 0.3...I'd wait until it's at Version 1.0 :p
In seriousness once the various basic issues get sorted out the only thing I'd like to see is maybe have the ability to client-side save missions or export from tribble and import onto live because some of us have put a lot of time into missions...
Glad to see your back on deck. "Klingon Targ flu" can ready knock you around.
ps. Just wet my pants when I saw 'All Good Things Uniforms'
I too was excited when I saw the uniform. I was seriously hoping that it would be out in Dec so I could treat myself for x-mas. Here's hoping it's actually released in Jan and that it's sooner rather than later.
