HI ZIGGY
Yeah true but I'm still a right plonker...
Well then why didn't they invite experienced BGSers & miners?
I don't see it as doom, I see it as FD trying to lesson the impact of negativity by the streamers. No matter what they do people won't be happy, so if its not well received and things go bad, by investing them further and feeding them both gesture / attention and financial, they lesson any negative impact and increase positive feedback.
Whatever expense paid to the group they invited for travel, compared to the subscribers the streamers and the forum impact even the non streamers will have, and its a huge bang for the buck advertising that will benefit both sides of the same coin. No matter what they do people are thrilled and furious it seems, the strategy seems to be reflecting the state if things, at least to me.
I want Q4 to be great and pull me back. I just feel like damage control has already been engaged for it. Just early morning ramblings.

So who are the real household names because of their contributions to the game (no not media or social media)?
It's not a popularity contest, of course, and it's not sour grapes to suggest that the people spearheading the organisation of perhaps the largest long-duration event in video gaming history should have had an invite in order to assist with planning.
Plonkers can be popular.
If you think about it there are no compromise, no really. It is quite obvious there is no marriage possible between new approach and "fast track marbles" approach people want to keep. One of it has to go.
Any these workarounds about existing discoveries, or nav beacon map downloading via supercruise....they are just niffy QoLs, nothing more. And if they are added now or later, they are really don't break new mechanism.

That's a fair point!
As much as Like OA vids, I think Yamiks when you remove the stick wigglies, always calls it like he see's it and if he was there, I expect he wouldn't have changed. So in that regard, maybe, just maybe, Fdev will take some of it on board. If they don't it's just another raspberry to the playerbase.
Regarding the indicator, there is the percentage that shows up saying how much has been discovered. So let's say that it is the Nav Beacon Idea, it could be that when you do the honk, you either deploy a mini nav beacon or read the one in system from a previous person. When you deploy the mini nav beacon it records every planet you have been too which is then translated to the Nav Beacon for other players to find.
As to the bubble, that doesn't bother me too much. If you have no ADS then you use the Nav Beacon, if you do, it connects with the Nav Beacon and you get everything. Most people in the bubble are not there to explore but trade, bounty hunt etc. Having to do exploration mechanics just to do those things is counter productive in my view and not really needed in the bubble or colonia.

They did invite experienced BGSers. Miners - I don't know how experienced any of the invitees are in mining.

He still doen't listen to me, and I tell him my thoughts frequently! (To be fair I don't listen to him either!)
I disagree. In my opinion there can be a compromise which provides useful info immediately after the honk yet does not make the new mechanics any less useful.
So only one of the three major features got experienced people to examine them?
Also, if they were looking for feedback, why wouldn't they open threads on the feedback sub-forum?
They did.
Ian's "I don't know how experienced any of the invitees are in mining" != "FDev didn't invite experienced miners"
Media and social media are contributions to the game.
Sorry, who are you exactly to say who is and isn't experienced in something? When did you become the arbiter of another person's game time and knowledge?

You cannot open a thread on the feedback forum to show a live demonstration of a feature, and have instant dialog with the programmer. For that you have to have people on site. Simple really.
