Okay, first, three cheers for keeping the common sense and logic in game. [up]
And second, I'd like to say how awesome Frontier has been once more in listening to the community. You guys rock!
Also for people saying 40k people isn't that much, I do agree that if there was a way to transmit the information to the hundreds of thousands of people playing the game without participating in the community (forums, reddit, etc.) there could have been more people participating, but I think 40k is good enough sample to get the necessary statistical precision. It's almost 10% of daily active players.
