So... Maybe the others were gobbled up by the dinos?

I know that it was written as an estimated starting date, but now that it has come and gone, it would be good to have word on it.

Agreed. This just isn’t cricket. I can only assume the elite dangerous team are still pondering on what the mining proposal will actually be. Based on what can be coded.
Or perhaps everyone at Frontier is firefighting currently because of the release of Jurassic Evolution.

Flimley
 
Just asked Will on the Livestream :)

He said: "we're working on it! The forum thread says 'from the 18th' so expect it this week (or next!)"

Perhaps they are just trying to word whatever they will post as carefully as possible to avoid people's heads exploding from the catastrophic meltdown that many will no doubt succumb to ;)

Okay, well at least I know the dates weren't serious then. I'll wait for Ant's video to show up on youtube telling me the mining reveal has been posted. Back to not thinking about Elite until then...
 
Come on guys...we are all impatient to know more about mining / exploration but stop the drama.

FD work on Q4 update for months now and from what they shown at Lavecon it seems like they know what they are doing + they are definitely on the good path.

We'll have our focused feedback when FD will be ready which is very soon and they still got 6 months to go before release...

Only 6 months? Doesn't sound like enough time D:

No they aren't. Whenever the post goes up, there's no way that they will have spent more than an hour writing it and there's no way they will even have started writing it before the day of the post.

The reason they haven't done it is because they don't care to, not because it's such an excruciating meticulous job that they want to get *juuust* right, or because they're afraid of some kind of forum meltdown.

Forum anger is almost exclusively the result of lack of communication, refusal to clarify, and/or outright lying. If they were seriously worried about that (which they're not - and they shouldn't be), then they'd do things like follow up on questions people ask, give a heads-up when something's going to be late, and clarify when there is confusion or ambiguity in their initial communications.

Instead, thy do things like say "such and such will happen from such and such date", and then the date comes and they don't show up or do anything or say anything at all until someone is able to confront them directly about it, at which point they play semantic word games as if to imply that they've never made a definitive statement about anything.

And that's just it: they never HAVE made a definitive statement about anything ever. Nothing they say means anything really because when you get down to it they don't think it's really important. And they're probably right.
