Don't announce something without being 100% prepared to DELIVER on that announcement.
In my book doing so almost irreversibly tarnishes one's reputation. I don't think I have ever seen an announcement from Brand "A" that is not delivered. Never seen that out of Brand "S" with a public announcement either. Very wisely since the Cylon Raider and BH Cygnus Probe Ship fiascos, brand "E" has wisely not done this. UNDER promise and OVER deliver, NOT vice versa.

Quite right... All this "COMING SOON!!!" stuff that never materializes starts getting very "boy who cried wolf" after awhile... Now *I* for one am like, when I see this sort of announcement out of certain manufacturers *yawn* "Sure-- I'll believe it when I see it..." Later! OL JR

I am starting to expect that out of one particular manufacturer.....
Does NOT mean I will stop giving them static about it though. Having someone bring back a RELIABLE equivalent to the Old Centuri Mini-Max F97 port-burner or an E or even D port-burner would be great. End-burners are quite frankly borrrrrrriiiinnnnggggggggggg unless on a two-stager that has been launched with a port-burner in the booster. Used to love to fly my old Astron Avenger on a B14-0 to B4-6 or C6-7 combo. A flight with an A8-0 to B14-7 was funny too...would launch slow, stage low, then streak off on the B14 !

I LOVE to launch the Astron Sprint on the B14-7.
That actually was my go-to motor when possible. I used to launch it on the C6-7 regularly too and NEVER lost one !
