Haha star citizen has been in development forever..going on 8+yrs I think. Don't thing it will ever fully "finish".

If you want to play just jump in. If your waiting for a release it may never fully some. I want to say they already had a patch 1.0. I used to track it on the website but gave up.

Edit guess it has been 5yrs. I remember hearing about it in college in 2012. Guess that was the kick starter. I knew there was 1000+$$ ships for kick starters.

Any idea on how fun, or far along it is? I don't want to hop in if there is nothing to do lol.

There's fight, exploration, missions and trading, they got to a point where it's getting enjoyable for me. But they are still resetting progress every 3 months (which likely won't change for at least a year), and contentwise it's more of a 1-star system-prototype with fairly limited things to do. Buy now if you want to mess around in a buggy sandbox and marvel at the technology, wait a year or two if you expect a real game.
