So what happened to PG planets and landing on them?

I'd expect all those things to be readily available when 3.0 launches. But mark these words I bet it won't because that is how CIG has repeatedly acted.
I 'd like to get something written so when they don't deliver I can use this thread as a source of expectations and wonder why people are still defending it.
I'd expect an entire system of at least 3 planets with atmospheres. A decent amount of detail and a few fully developed cities maybe one on each of the planets. Some npc's and perhaps some wildlife.
Would it be too much to expect some mining nodes? IDK maybe that would be too much but I'd like to hear from the rest of us what we expect to see in 3.0.
So what do you expect from a 3.0 system planet?
Then 3.0's schedule was meant to arrive in January. It didn't.
Instead we're finding out that they are still planning how things will work for 3.0
We're finding out that they are only just putting together a gameplay team etc
Side of those + the PG Moons and others that are considered non-populated, you still have the gas giant crusader that is also set to have one landing zone but I don't think they'll do the gas giant on the first release.
You should inform yourself better and you would already know is exactly the roll out of a system, not a single planet. In fact the "ice planet" you see on the first post is likely part of the landing zone Micro-tech that is part of the stanton system.
This is its concept:
This is last years early peek at how it is going:
The SAME way they also report the work on creating a semi-destroyed/scrapped mining planet, that is exactly where Hustorn Landing zone set to be laid upon.

I have no clue why CIG didn't remove his post.
This is just so petty and silly, feels like trolling really. There's no point but the generation of drama over something obvious: PG Planets were and are still under development.
One thing does not imply the other. PG Planets were in development then, they are in development now, and its delays past their supposed release date do not imply otherwise.
And then you ignore the biggest fact, that the 3.0 goes far beyond PG Planets. Something you then act like it's such that is holding back the update, completely ignoring everything else (like tech and groundwork doesn't depend on each-other --')...
Why should CIG remove that post?
The OP (Space Cowboy) blames CIG for making him spend more money on SC than he wanted. He does not think it was his lack of control over his spending habits. It was CIG that made him do it. Bad CIG !
OP said : "I know im responsible for my ship purchases, but i did it based on what hype CIG created on August. Cant entirely blame me for that. That was a low move." --> What did CIG do to you, Space Cowboy? Hold a gun to your head ? Threatened some kittens? CIG presented their development schedule and plans. Nothing more, nothing less.
The OP thought that "end of December 2016" was a fixed date written in stone ... which no one ever claimed, certainly not CIG. Another case of "I believe it is like THAT, so reality has to be like THAT ... or else!"
Have fun
Because gaming journalists know about and understand the limitations of early demos, having seen it many many times throughout their career in many different gaming companies.
While IMHO the players that say "Give it to me NOW ! I do not care if it is finished yet. GIMME! GIMME!" are the same players that will then scream "It looks like shit, it plays like shit because ***insert minor detail of your choice*** does not work yet ! Devs, you SUCK !"
So i think it is better to wait until things work reasonably well for an Alpha test ... and i hope the devs do not listen to the impatient ones.
Have fun
He then goes on to state how upset he was because there is no way CIG believed that 3.0 was going to launch in December but they just said that to get some revenue once again by lying.

In my opinion 99.95 % of the backers are smart enough ... and 0.05 % are either impatient instant gratification junkies or deliberate trolls from certain Internet groups.
As 0.05 % of roughly 1.76 Million Star Citizen still translates to around 900 people whining on the Internet , i hope that the devs do not listen to the impatient ones (and ignore the trolls). And wait until the planetary landing part of the game is developed enough to be viable and (mostly) bug free.
Have fun
I don't think it would fall that well within the backers either, taking one highlight feature of a major update out to release it on a minimalistic matter to people to test it. I know I wouldn't be that interested into just flying down into a PG Planet and walk around it, because it's the combination of stuff they are working with that will generate the gameplay on them.
The guy was mad because he could not control his own urges. Then regretted it. And instead of understanding that he had only himself to blame, he projected his self guilt onto an external source (=CIG).
Not to mention that he did not have to buy anything additional. With his existing pledge he could have gotten anything he wanted in the game through in game means once the game has launched.
That guy thought all the mentioned dates were written in stone ... which no one claimed, certainly not CIG.
If development takes longer it is regrettable ... but that is not lying. Its a fact of life in most video game projects.
Have fun
Are you really condoning companies being able to lie to customers and then saying it's the customer's fault if they believe that lie?
Roberts was quite emphatic that they would deliver 3.0 before the 19th of December and while people should know better than to trust a single word that comes out of that guy's mouth he also has a duty to his backers to not misrepresent the status of the game.
If the date was made in good faith (lol) but changed due to design/engineering decisions then he should have simply inform people of those changes, like he promised he would do in their pledge document.
