I can answer both myself having been in the beta:
No new missions as such (at least that I can see). But there are now chained missions so doing 1 mission to deliver say 3 tons of biowaste to X station may give you a 2nd mission to hunt down the guy that tried to kill you to steal said biowaste. Or it could give you a mission to transfer 10T of Grain to a different system that they farmed using the biowaste as fertiliser.
Nothing really new but a good step towards branching missions where you can choose multiple paths with different outcomes.
As for the powerplay bit. Nothing new in 2.3
Let me know if you want to have it added as a general powerplay question although this exists:
HaTeMe (ForumsQ&A thread): Are the powerplay changes still planned for the end of horizons start of season 3?
Was asked yesterday on the livestream

Already on the list of questions to ask:
cold-n-sour (Reddit): The 2.3 beta changes wing mining fragments per asteroid from ~60-80 to ~38-50. Any reason for this change, can increased fragments when wing mining be brought back?
Real crew for more risk is on the list of questions:
Peter Thompson (ForumsQ&A thread): Will we be able to pick up Commanders for Multicrew if we are docked on the same station without using Telepresence? If not, would it be a feature you'd consider, have more risk/reward if everyone is actually present in the ship?
The no crews found was inadvertently answered on the livestream yesterday. Beta is a limited pool, there is potentially less matches so a 0 results could be the answer. There is also talk of a bug causing that in the latest version.
So that hopefully will answer the question.
As for more content for multicrew that was answered extensively at PAX 2 weeks ago with: "If lots of people use multicrew and give feedback during beta and after release then yes it will get expanded much further than the current iteration"
POV turret was asked at the PAX Q&A livestream

Q1 Added
Q2 exists already
CMDR Redcrest (Forums): Are there more ships coming to fill the new 35 max ship slots in stations? A medium Imperial ship with SLF bay perhaps?
Q3 was answered at PAX Q&A with yes the helm can but nobody else can bring missions with them or pick up missions whilst in crew.
Answered yesterday in the stream
Lots of exploration questions answered last night. Let me know if you have any specifics you want to be added to the list after the latest info.

Yep it was too late but missing weapons was a question. Ive extended it to include multicannons:
Selen (Forums): Will 2.3 add any of the missing weapons or weapon sizes that are missing, plasma accelerator turrets, railgun turrets, class 4 turrets, Class 3 multicannon turrets?
Ah there were not many questions in the last 2 pages. Updated completely to this point now.
I too very much want that. Or he can give Sandro a cheat sheet if he want's to avoid the limelight
Sectioned those questions Sandro wasn't able to take off at the bottom in the hope that we may in the future get answers.
Yeah, check the PAX Q&A livestream about 2 weeks ago. Multicrew and Holo-me were heavily heavily featured there so those sections got put to the bottom of the list for yesterday. Back at the top again now although I plan to do significant formatting changes over the next weekend.
Up until now sections have been created as more questions about certain topics got asked. To take a good example Mac was grouped together with PS4 and Hardware support. Then there were more and more questions so they organically got broken out. However, for the future I want to try and get at least the headline sections to be stable and unchanging.
If you have any specific questions or whatever either post here or on the list thread and they will still be added for future reference in Q&As
That is awesome and needs to feature in a newsletter perhaps
