I think Sam is frustrated cause he ran into several bugs and didn't know they were pre-existing. perhaps a list of them stickied: "Bugs we know of:" might help and if they are to be solved later people won't obsess over them.
Also for the "Is it done yet?" crowd, I made a list (not of things done, but rather a lsit of things needed to be done) for my project. Yhat way I don't give away too much content and let others who want to help know what I'm looking for in regards to skills/content.
That way if they can't/won't contribute, then they have no right to complain about the creation development time needed. 
I must admit I haven't touched Sup in a while as I'm awaiting the update as well. The Combat part to be added later is the main thing needed to boost the game. The unopposed buildign phase (even with bugs) is not really challenging and does get boring after awhile (I even reinstalled BOTF).
The main problem with BOTF was the BORG cube is so freaking overpowered it's nutz (and that's not the only unbabalnced combat) so I turn off encounters just because of that.
Anyway, I would think if the Commander can get it working having something to test yourself against will greatly progress the game overall and I look forward to that.
Annoying bugs can be ignored, but only game stopping ones would be your greatest obstacle then. Once some form of stable combat is introduced it will be much more enjoyable and people will be more accepting of the game still in development.
I wish I knew how to code, as I'm just an idea guy/voice actor, but I urge you to continue this great project! It has much potential and I look forward to modding it once done!
As fro others... hang in there. These people have only been at it a relatively SHORT TIME. In modding it can take YEARS to get even a demo out but I am sure it will be worth it and the TREK community will benefit greatly as a backup in case the MMO fails (like it's initial developer did).
IF Paramount and the Devs it gives the ok to to make commercial Trek games can't give us the ones the actually can or that the franchise deserves, then it's up to Mod Communites to either FIX THEM or make New Modded Ones!!!
And that unfortunately takes TIME! (unpaid and msot often unappreciated!).
I had to wait 2 years just to add this ship, but I'm gad it happened...
[EDIT] I changed it to a link cause it broke frame, it should have been small enough, my bad!
