Once again, the Frontier team leaves without information a whole group of players who are passionate about non-combat contents.
Thanks FD for renewing my distrust in you.

Yeah, I don't mind a delay if they don't have the information all together, but I really wish Frontier would just be more communicative. In this example, don't just say the mining content post is delayed, tell us why it is, or even give us an estimate on when we can expect it. To just say "it's delayed, drop the mic, guess amongst yourselves as to whats going on" is a tad aggravating. Especially to us non combat solitary players who are literally starved for anything to look forward to.
Hello there again my friendly DEVs! I know you've heard me say it before....and i know the majority of the community hate it......but PVP in OPEN PLAY is very important to the survival of this game.......competition between players provides infinite variety and fun. FINALLY, after moaning for 4 years we finally get squadrons. Thanks to this the PVP community is all but nonexistent.
Everytime I mention PVP here everyone cries "OH THE HORROR!!" Well my friend, I say to you, head on over to twitch.tv and see the statistics of what most people are ACTUALLY watching, playing, aND actively spending ludicrous amouts of money on........DING DING DING......PVP GAMES ARE THE WINNER(and the real money makers)!!! Player unknowns anyone?
We were told we wouldn't be allowed to control territory in player owned groups from the beginning because player groups wouldnt be allowed......which gave us.....power play? *face palm*
Do you see my....no PVPers....point now DEVs and pilots alike? Finally squadrons.....but we still can't conquer the galaxy or have giant fights with other fleets......or share resources....or fight over resources.......you are getting warmer......but without PVPers your game will not get more than a few thousand viewers/day on twitch. Please for the love of god, give us something worth fighting over. Then maybe.....JUST MAYBE.....my squadron of psychotic death ninjas will actually have a purpose other than murdering random CG players.....but I digress....my feedback along with many other PVP players seems to fall upon deaf ears......what say you this time? Oh yee, DEVs of little faith.
P.S. Braben, I really loved your game. I spent over 2,000 hours playing it. The boomies, pew pew, rammy rammy, pow pow and good times I had are the reason Reign of Annihilation is still playing together 4 years later. We will come back to the game, if you guys would just make conquering some part of the galaxy outside the bubble worth conquering......maybe 50 million credits/week to each pilot in the squadron.....please.....please. All PVP players only really want one thing......something worth fighting over. Sipping tea, eating crumpets, and extremely friendly and polite space conversation have not made FDEV much profit. Just look at the statistics in steam charts and twitch.tv and think it over. I really want to see this game make a comeback.

Back when Ed said that Power Play wasn't slated to be talked about in the FBF. The three he referred to were:
- Squadrons (with a partial combat focus)
- Mining (non combat)
- Exploration (non combat)
So it was two out of three non combat topics. Until Sandro threw in the Power Play flash topic, making it now two out of four non combat topics.
I presume this will be around the same date the Developer Updates return? I am utterly sick of the combat and multiplayer focus that this game is now taking.
I'm guessing the reason they don't do that is that they don't have enough people to work on two of these at a time (the actual dev work, not the design), and if they did that they'd appear to be dragging their feet after getting the community involved.
About the postponement of the mining discussion, what probably happened is that they had a detailed plan to base the discussion around, and someone discovered a flaw in it that can't be fixed in the next couple of days. Something obscure but fundamental like maybe how the stellar forge deals with asteroid belts. It has to be obscure because otherwise the guy working on mining would have known about it, and fundamental because otherwise the postponement wouldn't be indeterminate. Or it could also be someone leaving the team, and they don't know when they'll be able to get a replacement. A third possibility is that something has come up, and the project itself has been postponed in favor of that other thing - maybe they've come up with a way to improve networking that doesn't mean a move to client-server, but is almost as good.

C'mon, they're not assigning work based on our feedback, nor are they designing anything based on our feedback. Their updated core is done when the feedback forum opens.
At the very most, little tweaks of mostly meaningless numbers would change.
There's no reason to delay the feedback unless the actual mining stuff in nowhere near finished.

Just link it to the forums, more attacks than anyone needs.
Slightly?
Frontier isn't getting any money at least from me until they deserve it, in the meantime once my expedition is over I'm walking away from the game until further notice.
It's stupid too.
So many people want to shove their wallets down Frontier's throats, but they are acting like a child and turning their head away because of who the hell knows why, so yeah.
unsatisfying? More like being completely stupid. Mistakes left and right. ing off customers left and right. Not saying a word anywhere, which is only making more people walk away because we have LITERALLY no information on what the next update is, or when we'll even get it, because "sooner than you think" is gone in everyone's books at this point in time.
Regardless, the fact that a development team in this day and age is not saying the next patch is, is dooming to themselves.
Sorry Frontier, you're doing this to yourselves. It isn't a case of "it isn't you, it's me" because it's definitely you.
It's literally DAYS away from being the middle of the year, and we have literally ZERO information on what this year gives, and yall are asking what the update for the end of the year is supposed to be?
Anyone that doesn't realize that this means they haven't even begun to work on it is out of their mind.
4 updates.
6 months into the year, and we have one update, which they didn't complete because they said they wouldn't fix some things until the second patch.... so yeah. Technically still with an incomplete Q1 patch.
And no information on what will actually come for any of the next 3 updates, particularly because now FDev has <6 months, and are going to spend the next month asking HOW the customer base seems to think all of these parts of the game should be updated, which means they'll be down to 5 months of actually doing it, plus another who knows what patch in the middle somewhere...

Powerplay may be involved in that discussion. We just have to make sure we've got something that's worth your time.
Ed
Because making Power Play an Open-Only activity certainly isn't.
Best to put off Power Play until Not-a-Season 4 at least, and get back on track with the plans for Beyond. Vitamin Ritalin should be a requirement at Frontier.
I also stopped any purchase since 3.0 came out. I want a clear roadmap with detailed features or at least things that will add real content.
I do not want any reworked features that will not add anything except small changes.
3.0 was a clear disappointment to me.
Crime & Punishment : not concerned at all by that.
Engineering : add already 30 ships grade 4-5. So not concerned.
Lifepass owner, 368 euros spent in the game, +3000 hours played. For now, wait and see attitude.
Any reason why the mining feedback has been delayed and none of the others? a little bit more info would be nice. Coming from a fan of mining this news was disappointing to say the least.

It is a bank holiday here in the UK. Too much of a good excuse to eat, drink, and be merry.
