What will Star Citizen be like?

A list of the features are here.
As for my own personal opinion, I think CIG have over-reached and the project has been poorly managed. I can sum up my thoughts best using Chris Robert's own words; "if you are building a two-bedroom house and suddenly change to building a castle it's going to be a different timeline." No. That would require you to demolish any work you have done on the two bedroom house and dig the foundations a lot deeper, you also never start the work by hanging the curtains.

They will spend the time after the launch to add all missing pieces ... the rest of the promised planetary systems, the late stage concept ships and their game mechanics (e.g. farming on "Endeavor" hydroponic decks) etc.
Have fun
CIG will have to devote more than planned resources to resolve player complaints or expectations around Squadron 42, which will further delay the launch of the multiplayer/ MMO version.
The multiplayer version will likely never support large space battles (a la EVE) due to technical limitations that cannot be resolved given the current level of hardware available or owned by the average PC gamer.
At best it releases a playable set of core features, satisfying fans but disappointing most everyone else. (The single player title will probably see greater success.) The title will then be improved for many years to come.
At worst, the funds run out, the multiplayer version never sees the light of day with CR and friends retiring to a country that refuses to extradite them.

This will not come for sure. Its also not in the "planned feature" list.
CIG has chosen a different approach (Global Server + Battle Server/Instances).
Have fun
But I'm certainly hoping that what IS delivered at launch will work together well and make for very entertaining game play overall.
As for SQ42, I'm expecting CR to deliver something equal to (but preferably better than !) the Wing Commander games. That is my yardstick, I played those games and thoroughly loved them. More please !
"And, we’ll have what we determine is a minimum viable product feature list for what you would call Star Citizen the commercial release which is basically when you say, “Okay, we’ve gotten to this point and we’ve still got plans to add a lot more cool stuff and more content and more functionality and more features…”
So it's not going to release with all of it's features, I'd imagine they are doing something like Elite: Dangerous is doing, some sort of base game that they'll build on.
Realistically any kind of forecast can't be made until we know what this feature list is, so chances are we'll get some kind of game then depending on how long it takes, the full game (ie full feature list) much later down the line.

So by your own admission, you feel that your forecast is "unrealistic" ?

A "poll" that offers 2 positive options and 4 negative options is clearly not very balanced, lol
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
The cake is a lie.
no way up this game came out tons bug , broken mechanics and others "reduced scoppe" to can release
or like modern days use "soft launch" (HAHA you fool)
Sorry fanboys but you know its going happen
and Hater as well
The confirmation bias among SC fans is phenomenal.
