Tiresome snark aside :roll:, if there's no worldbuilding in the core book then Mongoose are releasing an incomplete corebook - if you have a SF game then you need some rules to build the setting. I don't think people will really go for a game that doesn't have any means to do that (particularly given that the idea is that the game is released as OGL too).
I'd rather see the corebook delayed by a few months to get everything sorted out (not just worldbuilding) than have this crazy rush to meet a deadline that is already obviously turning out to be impractical.
