There's also the fact that I have to update half a dozen mods at the same time, totaling dozens of weapons, well over 100 ships, a lot of hull mods, fighters, etc. And that's not even getting into the major changes and updates necessary for Dynasector, changes in how fleet spawning works affecting SWP, DS, and SS+, campaign events and scripted that need to be updated, the new procgen system needing to be handled in some of the ~5 new systems my mods collectively add... The list goes on. 0.8 forces changes in almost every aspect of all of my mods.
Add to that my real-estate search, exercise routines, late work hours, etc. and it becomes a very slow process to do everything *right*. Sit tight, it'll be worth the wait.
