Well, not all of us are ready to call it quits and will continue developing TBP if there are enough people to do whatever is required, eg. modelling, texturing and fredding. This is where the community should step in! If you like TBP, why the heck don't you participate in it's development then? If you can't, then learn.
As it is now and so many team members ready to leave, remaining members won't probably be enough to fully develop the TC further. In the end we will see how it turns out, how many will actually leave or stay active and motivated.
We really want to release whatever we have currently in the works. But I don't think TBP's main campaign (EA Civil War) will ever see daylight in TBP, perhaps in
IFH or some other platform. Although Skullar does not like this setup at all, so again, we'll see.
Since the patch will have version number 2.1, I believe you will see 2.2 released which will have current WIP and unreleased ships. After each release, it will become more unlikely there will be next one. At the moment I doubt there will be any after 2.2.
What did you expect? This TC has been in development since october 1999, although not all the members have been in the team from the very beginning, it's been a long road. Most have lost interest and motivation in TBP and/or FS2. It's no wonder really.
Talking figuratively, FS2 is a braindead man and fs2_open is a respirator. Personally, I am ready to pull the plug...
But that's just my opinion.
