Looking good! One extra month isn't that bad, if it improves the end result and gives 2300AD more visual oomph (that's a proper hard science term, you know). Eagerly waiting to get my hands on this box set, even if only in PDF form at first. It's so great that this IS a box set, very happy about that, brings back memories of the original GDW box sets, Would like to run a game come next August (no time before that), so we are still on track for that. Here's hoping for no more delays.
Could we get some more info about the box's contents, like how many books, what page counts (approx.), is there a star map and such. Please. (Oh, and is Colin Dunn still the main author?)
