Definitely speeds it up but we don't have an actual date or even month in mind for release. The main thing is just finishing the faction rosters which are nearly done but also still a while off. the other things we are working on should require significantly less time than the rosters. Lastly we want this release to be more polished and tested than previous updates. I expect the balance and testing phase therefore to last quite a while so that the quality and depth of gameplay at least matches that of our army rosters work. Ultimately I think a lot of players will be coming back to try vv with this release and comparisons will no doubt be made to quality existing mods so we need to get it to a stage where it both stacks up well against or preferably surpasses the depth and experience of existing mods and provides a gameplay experience that keeps the users engaged and brings them back to r2
