Do you have an idea of how soon 2.2 will be released?

We're too far to even guess about when it will come. Just be patient.

of course I can. But you could find them yourself, since corey already announced them. I won't give you anything new other than them, since those are
A, not final/decided or ready for public
B, Not announced yet, which is the mod leader's privilege.
So a lot of new ships and units are coming into the mod for the new warlords, including the Secutor, Gladiator, Bellator, Providence(announced at Zsinj Preview), Droidekas, Allegiance, and a few others. We have to make these, or polish out, we have to redo some old models which by comparison to others look awful, and so on.
We also have to create 2 factions from the ground (Maldrood and Eriadu), have a lot of other features to do.
We also have to redo a lot of GCs, since warlords are now a thing, and as Corey said to Gul, some new ones are coming too.
So this is a littly tiny bit VERY MUCH!
Good work takes time. Not to mention we are all just doing it in our free time

Thanks for the Information bro. If it is that much work though why not release a beta where you can only play Zsinj's GCs? Or not release all three factions at the same time?

I think the mod and it's community is where it is because Corey and Co always tried to put 110% into everything and did it exceedingly well.
I just joined recently, doing some XML stuff to help them out as much as I can.
About the beta thing... I don't think anybody would want to play a broken or half baked mod just to have it earlier.
I think there is nothing more disappointing than a mod crashing constantly, or seeing half made features, and I think the team wouldn't like to give something like that out of their hands.

I wasn't trying to offend you I just don't want you guys to feel like the stack of work never ends and push your selves to far. :)

I did not got offended. I just told what I think feel, and in my experience how the team reacts.
Sorry for the misunderstanding

You have to consider that you can't really play one without semi-finished versions of the others, plus there's the other features which aren't really faction-specific that are all in progress and tend to go the entire length of the dev cycle.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon

I could not find specific mentions of this (I did check the 2.1 manual though :) ).
Will 2.2 also alter the economic side of the game? I must confess having tried Strategic Improvement that I quite fell in love with some aspects of the economic management (varied income producing building with variable income for some of them, such as Galactic Banks or Imperial Customs being specifically targeted for leeching by smugglers) as well as income / maintenance cost of vessels potentially harming your prognosed revenue.
Please do not take this as a criticism or anything negative but rather just an inquiry!
