There's a reason i really didnt like the idea of involving Fdev with DW2 in the first place.. Yep, you guessed it, they kinda have this problem with communication.
First of all, expeditions should be player created events, not "depending-on-developer" events. I'm starting to think that DW2 is starting to sound like an event where it wont be player created and the fact that you are now dependant on Fdev's response, kind of proves it.

-That some of us still enjoy exploration as it is, without any fancy stuff.
-That not all of us are constantly whining around the forums how Fdev hates explorers or how Fdev disses the explorers or how exploration dont get any love from Fdev, etc..
-That not all of us needs a fleet carrier with expedition for it to be "something different".
-That not all of us needs a community goal, megaship, Fdev involvement or any of those fancy stuff you talked about.
-That not all of us has exploration burnout, as it seems to be the case with the organizing crew..
What most of us wants is just a nice mass expedition to Beagle Point with familiar cmdrs, meetups, shenanigans, Kumbayaas, beer and pretzels, thats all.
I guess i'm just trying to say here that dont count on Fdev for making a great event out of DW2. Dont get your hopes on Fdev promising some extra content.
Players make the expeditions, not anyone else. Just keep that in your mind.
Just my 2c.
