That's referring to the new stations and megaship ferry associated with the Bridging the Gap Initiative. In-universe, the reason that system was colonized was to be a base of operations for collection and exploitation of relic Guardian technology. "Excavation" is sort of an odd way to describe what's going on, but I suppose it does count as xeno-archaeology.

yeah, I want to hope that this is not just 2 sentences that you forgot to separate by wrapping through 1 line.

Unless FD are swapping gears, lunchtime streams are low key things. Thursdays are when FD announce things. I could and hope to be wrong!
Yup
Either they announce nothing on Monday - and we enjoy those confused about grammar losing their minds, or they announce something - and we have an announcement! Cannot lose.
The 6th is a lets play livestream, so they won't be doing any huge reveals or anything. Most likely we'll just get an announcement of another future announcement in typical Frontier Style, kicking the can further down that road and making us wait a bit longer to learn anything interesting.
I could be wrong of course. It would be very nice if I was.

or maybe on the 6th, they will announce an event at which an event will be announced at which maybe something will be told about fleet carriers and the new era.
They may have scripted the announcement in December... Or as the wording in the OP is open to interpretation may have just been looking forward to that which is to come... At least we'll know tomorrow

But then Frontier would have to be able to know what the state of the game would be in a month's time.
Jokes aside, I agree that they are just as much looking forward to the beefy 2020 updates as we are. That's what they meant. In the meantime, the Monday stream will still be the same as always and feature a let's play. Maybe some bounty hunting or ship outfitting. The only unusual thing will be that they'll probably mention that another Earth year has passed.

I think poor old Stephen and Will are going to regret that ambiguity come tomorrow.
Stephens going to switch on his work PC and go
I'll probably watch the stream on catch-up as it goes live at dog-walkies time, at least I'll have the fast-forward button available

Maybe the months and months (well...years) of being garrisoned on Powerplay hill has taken its toll, but the lunchtime livestreams are kind of fun- its like a mix of watching GemsTV and teaching your parents how to use a mobile phone.
Or in my geriatric case, teaching my wife...
As an aside, I think your PP ideas in the forum make a great deal of sense, maybe one day Frontier will read them through and think ".... yes!"

hmm ... usually, if they are not going to announce anything, someone from the community managers team appears and says "no, we will not announce anything"
which is remarkable, despite the fact that 16 days have passed since the posting of the message, and all this time the same Stephen regularly appeared online on the forum. and almost certainly went into this topic too, and if not, I doubt that he would not have noticed a personal appeal.
and yet, no reply with explanations has been received.
