I've sent an e-mail to Aaron asking if I'd be able to answer some of your questions in more detail, say in a #se4 chat. I'll let you know what happens - that is, if it is a yes or no.

One of the first things that came up when the beta process started was that we asked him when the ship model specs would be released so people could start modeling. He felt it wasn't settled enough so we let it go for a while.

When the delay was announced I bugged him again to release the specs (Which would have been a good PR move to soften the negative impact of the delay). It seems unlikely that the ship format will change now. He said he was going to release it, and even a 'tester' program so people could know their ships would work... but seems to have spaced it. That happens lot with him, what with 4-5 projects going all at once.

Keep pestering him. I think you can get him to release the specs before the game actually comes out.

That would be very good - I hope it happens. I have a general idea about a set I'd like to do, but it's difficult to make it more concrete without some idea about how many different ship sizes I will need, etc.
