My apologies to those who are posting about tapping their feet impatiently.
. I'm ironing out a last minute, unexpected wrikle. (There is always a last-minute unexpecte wrinklle!) Shouldn't be long now.
Really
Honest
The BPV plan seems to have fixed the "too many AI carriers" problem. I've been able to fly for a couple of hours and not see a carrier. Unless I buy a CVA, or course, in which case I often fight Lucifer himself.
Now it's just getting the missions to show up properly, which seems to be solved as well. (Dave's one-on-ones were only showing up in friendly space, leading to far too much fleet action in enemy space.) But that seems fixed.
Patience grasshopper.
