Well it's Thursday... Will today be the day for 3.0 to go live?

My bet is, that we get a release date tomorrow in the newsletter, together with the announcement of a release stream. It is a major update, so a little PR would definitely be a thing. I don't believe, that they just throw it on the servers without a word.
 
Answer using Soong-type Positronic Android speech:
It is highly unlikely that Frontier developments will release the first quarter 3.0 beyond release within the next 24 hours.
 
We need several weeks of announcements that there will be an announcement first. They'll get everyone hyped up, send everyone emails inviting them to come hear an exciting announcement at a live stream. Then they'll waste our time for 30 minutes or so and at the end of the stream tell us that the announcement is coming soon.

They are probably looking for a new community manager to replace Dale.

I would like to call you a cynic but unfortunately you are entirely too accurate.

My God Man!







Your even more cynical about FDev than I am! [haha]

Yeah, not really followed the gaming press myself since the days of Super Play Magazine, but I'm guessing that Frontier's PR team are expected to trail stuff before it's released.
 
Seems unlikely. As someone earlier mentioned, they would mention it in the newsletter and through other channels. A big update tends to bring people back to the game and possibly attract new players, so they will want to create some publicity for it.
