You're too nice. I would have pulled the APIs and blocked their numbers
Thank you, ED. I think these 3rd party sites really do provide major game enrichment to Elite.
Now about that in-game web browser ...
Another who didn't read the OP, and comes to vomit in the thread.
Seconded.

I'm not a big user of 3rd party stuff myself, besides Coriolis. That said, I've played with enough folks to realize how important some of these sites are, such as INARA when it comes to community events and the like. I'm glad Frontier and the 3rd Party Devs have been able to reach an agreement that benefits not just the game, but the community as well. Bottom line is, we're all in this together. Anything that makes the game more enjoyable (whether you use it or not), is a plus in my opinion, and deserves some respect.
There's a high degree of passion for Elite Dangerous, as evidenced within this thread. That's a good thing, even if it puts people at odds at times.
Utterly silly comment, it never needs to happen again if parties uphold their end. Its not caving, its acknowledging what people bring to your project and how things could be done better.
Really, you are on another planet. We provide free tools which enhance their paid product. They should be paying us.. expect we do this for the love of the game, for free.
Well, the game actively pushes for 3rd party sites with features like private groups and having player groups become/adopt minor factions. Given how much Frontier pushes for 3rd party sites to exist, I would hope that they take into consideration the challenges that arise from their updates. 3rd party developers are essentially supporting the game for free.... at least you can make it as easy as possible for folks to do so.

I have been here and watched the other times things were figured out, wait long enough until things stop moving as fast as some people want them to and we'll be back here again. I'm not trying to light any fires, the OP did that perfectly, apart from anything else it's raining here.

oh no the blame game!
acknowledge and move forward I say
Are you going to be working on making some of those tools first-party game features to make sure this doesn't happen again? Because I sincerely hope the only action to come of this isn't just go back to relying on the same sites with demonstrably hostile developers and just throwing them some early patch notes every now and then. You gotta remember most of us don't want to use these things, but there's simply been no alternative for such a long time that many have gotten far too used to their existence, to the point of being able to overlook their absence in the game itself. I don't want to go back to the old status quo, and I hope this little event will be the wakeup call you guys need to act on it, and not in the way the OP is demanding either.
its always made my mind boggle that a game like ED in this day and age has such shocking in game tools or there the lack off.
Had my support I use most of the 3rd party tools, playing the game without EDDB is just a no go for me among others, here's hoping they get the help they need to keep on providing a top class product.
