Squadron 42 is officially announced for 2016 , that´s not an internal estimate. It´s an official announcement. It will be out in 2016. Some people don´t realize their biggest internal studio has been working on this for quite some time.

I haven't been following that closely, would you consider Squadron 42 to be the full game that was promised during the KS?

These were the $2m goals (aka funding KS goal without any stretch goals):
Regular community updates.
Citizens with appropriate packages will get to play in the multiplayer dogfighting module.
Citizens with appropriate packages will receive access to the 30-mission Squadron 42 campaign upon release.
These are the related SQ42 stretch goals (the rest are for Star Citizen more than SQ42):
Squadron 42 will feature 35 missions.
Ship boarding – learn more about how Star Citizen will allow players to conduct boarding operations.
Squadron 42 will feature a richer storyline and 45 total missions.
Enhanced boarding options: melee combat, heavy weapons, zero gravity simulation, suit HUD options and EVA combat.
Squadron 42 will feature celebrity voice-acting including at least one favorite from Wing Commander and 50 total missions
Professional motion capture for the Squadron 42 cutscenes.
Star Citizen and Squadron 42 will feature a full orchestral score.
Facial Capture System (what they used to make Oldman's face)
Enhanced Mission Design for Squadron 42
Last I heard SQ42 is going to have 22-23 chapters with 2-3 missions each, so somewhere between 50-70 missions. The other features we can look at "live" in the CitizenCon gameplay preview.
Doing something via Kickstarter has all sorts of challenges.
Delivering a project in chunks helps get over some of those. Those who have signed up for SQ42 (should) know that this isn't the full SC.
And delivering it will start to generate coverage for the full product .... positive coverage assuming it is a solid product - which means they will want to nail it!

So it sounds as if the baseline delivery is Squadron 42 and seems doable at this point.
Of course, there is much more to this title over the long haul, but if something solid delivers in 2016 I think they'll have met a major milestone.

Perhaps if they focus only on the original KS goals more.
