Thanks for the update Will. At least you've notified us in advance.
It is disappointing though. I don't know about Power Play, but I don't think there is anything else to add to Squadrons feedback (I think I've read all of it) considering the essence of the current proposal is: "You will get Guilds. They will have the usual Guild features. You will also get a mobile base, but no details on that so far. "
Question - does the delay of Mining feedback means the subsequent delay of Exploration feedback?
All in all - if you guys need more time to work out the details, that's fair enough. Still doesn't change the fact that it's very disappointing, also because there is no other news whatsoever (3.1, premium content for LEP holders).
Honestly, it just feels meh

Second that question. Will this result in a delay of Exploration FF as well? And is it affecting the chapter 2-3 releases and/or content?

I don't think "slightly" means what you think it means
In my dictionary anyway. In my dictionary "slightly" means "colossal".Thanks for the update Will. At least you've notified us in advance.

I think Squadrons and PP feedback has run its course as there hasn't been anything new added, or really even clarified, or questions answered with any substance or meaning in over a week. Back into the holding pattern we go. It does leave one feeling kind of "meh" doesn't it?
I'm quite new to ED (few months in the game) and I really love this game but I never understood why FD manage their community / communication like they do. It makes no sense and only increase the frustration of ED players #SaltyCommentsEverywhere
There is a real lack on how they communicate with their community and I think that it would make a HUGE difference on the salty level of those forums if they were more transparent (I'm not asking them to talk about space legs or atmospheric landing)...
Like...don't tell "3.1 is closer than you think" if 1 month later we still have not a single clue when it will come...
What would have been nice :
"Hey guys, we know 3.1 is taking time to come but we are currently working on some technical issues. But hey, we love you so there is a sneak peek of what is coming *screen shot of atmospheric landing* " [big grin]
My 2 cents !
I guess mining and exploration are taking a back seat to all the "MMO" features. Pity.
I personally couldn't give a rat's arsenic about Squadron Guilds and Powerplay PvP and everything else that ignores the Elite vision from the DDF. But clearly that's just me.

This is very unfortunate news. I really hope this does not push back the exploration reveal date.
Mining delayed ... yeaaaah ... Exploration too maybe ?
Who cares about that stuff anyway right ... Q4 is coming but they did not say which year after all. Meanwhile they can always rerererererererebalance shield cells and PA ...
Pew. Pew. Pew.
So disappointing ... And yet so predictable.

It's not just you. I'd love to see squadrons and open power play, but I would love some expansions on mining and exploration more. I'm not big on combat. It's far down on my list of I want to do in Elite, but it's the thing that's constantly on the front page of every update.

If they would allow the player base to directly work with FDev in terms of actual testers from a selected group of players that have in depth knowledge of the game in their respective parts (mining, exploration, powerplay, etc.) then they' d get the feedback they need instead of a mass of unexperienced palyers that really don't know fully what the balancing is made of.
Furthermore, they could directly use the results from these players and implement it right away. That said, players are the best testers as they have the most gametime compared to devs and do not know the concepts behind it.
Devs have the theory but players have the results. It is hard to understand the results when you have your theory in your mind and hence I doubt FDev will ever be capable to balance things properly and in time.
They need feedback as they lack in knowledge for multiplayer balancing and so will face the urgent need to further balance the game unless they finally rewamp their QA model.
If it was only that they would have already scheduled a new date but unfortunately they said "We don't have a current date for when the thread will be posted [...]".
They did that for Squadrons because it was supposed to start the 7th but they did it the 8th of may.
Why is it delayed? Need to stop hiding so much stuff all the time. People are going to think it's a promise no matter what or when you say it, so out with it already, please. What are you guys thinking about with Mining? Unless the idea that was planned for announcement has been completely scrapped, I don't feel there's any logical reason to hide even an idea of what is on the table. You guys know we want to hear about this stuff, any stuff.
