Hi there! Thanks for reaching out to us - and thanks for your concern. ♥ We're glad you've enjoyed the game.

To address your question: don't be afraid! Without giving too much away, we want to reassure you we've made our July endgame decision based on a lot of factors, and it wasn't just arbitrarily picked. To give you a non-spoilery idea:

- This upcoming system has already been in the works, and we think people will enjoy it. We'll likely toss in a hint or two to metaplot/endgame there, but for the most part, it is where we want it.
- The following drift, and the system after that, will be directly geared toward endgame/metaplot and what players can do to prepare for that.
- After that, endgame begins.

Additionally, there is a large portion of our playerbase that prefers systems with no metaplot attachments at all! We know we can't make everyone in the game happy every single time, but we're doing our best regardless.

Also, we're being flexible on dates. If things get moved forward, we will be completely open and pro-communication about all of it. Things will not get pushed back, however: July is our goal, August is... essentially a worst-case scenario, if real life explodes or something catches on fire, or something along those lines.

All that said, we do appreciate your feedback, and we'll keep it in mind as we make all of our upcoming decisions throughout the rest of the game. Hopefully all this will alleviate any fears or hesitations you have, but if not, reach out to us again and we'll be happy to keep talking about it. We promise, we want Drift Fleet to go out with a satisfying ending just as much as you do. We'll do everything we can to make that happen.

Thank you for everything. ♥!
