did you happen to read any of the interview? he quite clearly says it's coming "soon"
Of course I read, "soon"dont mean it could be today or next day, soon more likely maybe, or hundred year is soon, how we know what he mean "soon" I mean I just ask what is date, time? "soon" dont answers my "?", because I just can't stand it, I want it so badly that I couldn't help myself!

It's not down to the devs. It is intierly up to Egosoft when 1.4 is released.

"Soon". How many pizzas is that? Or to put it another way, if we knew how many pizzas are yet to be consumed before release, we might be able to calculate how soon soon is.
This maybe me being thick, in fact it, would be a good bet that it is, but I have long thought that what X2 lacked was any BBS missions for players who own ships bigger than an M3 Nova. It was as if Egosoft created missions up to M3 class and either forgot, didn't bother or ran out of time to produce BBS mission for Capital Ship owners. It seemed weird that there where BBS Missions for a Argon Buster but not an Argon Titan.
Anyway as I read the following:
Apoch: My biggest project for 1.4 is a new mission involving massive (and I do mean MASSIVE) capital warship battles).
It sparked the hope that my wish had been granted, so my question is this:
Does this piece of informagtion combined with the fact the Apoch mainly works on the BBS missions, mean that I will soon be able to dock my M6 or M2 at a Shipyard etc and now look through the BBS Board and accept Capital Ship Missions such as "Fly to sector x and destroy Xenon ships" etc or does it mean that after reaching a certain combat or trade rating i will be able to set in to motion a Xenon invasion possibly by the BBS.
Apoch, Abyss or anyone else in the know if you read this, please clarify this for me, if you can, if you can't then just accept my thanks for all the un-paid hard work you and all the others are doing to update my game.
Apoch we all own you at least a slice of Pizza with extra Pepperoni (and some spicy beef and halapino peppers, all truely good pizza's have them on!)
I also noticed what could possibly be construed as hints of AI improvements - the fact that Apoch is pretty darned insistent that the good 'ol M6-vs-the-world approach won't work EITHER implies better enemies OR some kind of time-limit / save-x-many-ships-from-death approach... either way, a use for a cap ship fleet! yay!
I think Peperonni Pizza Feast with whatever poison Apoch wants is in order (software people normally drink coca-cola/pepsi by the gallon)
Seriously, Apoch hope you have a wonderful break as I am sure you damn earned it.
On the topic of 1.4 it sounds like it may be a real doozy! I CAN NOT WAIT!! *tugs-the-leash* *chomps-at-the-bit* *barks-excitidly* *generally-goes-nuts*

I think you'll find that real programmers only drink Jolt Cola. By the case.
Nope. Jolt Cola is for wannabe programmers and other assorted geeks. REAL prgrammers eat pizza with "everything" and drink coffee strong enough to dissovle spoons.
