No worries. You know exactly how to get FD's attention next time: "Extortion now, extortion for ever.'

That would require an entirely different level of FD support to do that - full APIs etc of their internal data and an API to display stuff. An order of magnitude more effort than a simple text journal or XML API.
Not disagreeing with you at all about 3rd party devs WANTING us to use the tools.
Just making the observation that FD has no reason to be trusted at this point. They just want Drew's event to happen without any other problems.
That's why PC/Mac's got two rushed patches this week, right?
Wow you jumped on that quick Ed, i deleted it 30secs after i posted it. Appologies i fell a kip writing it came too later and posted then realised you had in fact updated us, my bad.
Glad to hear you are all taking though and good to know that these sites are held important by frontier as well. Good decisions on working together to bring them back up.
Actually unrealistic. The code written has taken 2 years to get to this point. You won't get that reproduced in 2 weeks. Want to wait another 2-3 years for the same level of stuff?

Probably true, but if nothing changes how long would their patience last? Kicking the can down the road isn't a solution.
I would never have been able to work out and plan my engineering goals without the support of Inara.
Also Coriolis used to be my go to site for testing out builds prior to engineers, I haven't used it much recently because I didn't know you could import engineered ship builds direct from the game now. Time for a revisit there.
You have my support and I hope FD listen to what you have to say and improve their relationship with all third party devs.

none of this would have been a problem if it was possible to locate needed information in-game.
i mean, you cant even know how many module slots a ship has in the game's own shipyard. you gotta buy the ship and count them and sell the ship back at 10% loss if you dont like the layout. that is not even alpha-release levels of finished.

Look we know you have an issue with the event at the weekend, but can you stop shoehorning it into every post?
Perhaps to the same level, but to meet my basic requirements, I don't think it would take as long as it has in the first cut.
There is existing knowledge and the possibility of reverse engineering.
(as someone who has tasked engineers to reverse engineer old unsupported code)

That was effective; 1400 replies in just a single afternoon (during working hours at that!). Hopefully that gives everyone a picture of just how heavily the ED community relies on these third parties.
All of the third party developers taking action today are valuable to the community but EDDB in particular is the one that I like to have open when running the game, I'm just glad that will be up again by the weekend!
So,
Thanks to FD for being sensible about the situation and recognising the importance of these volunteer developers.
Thanks to the 3rd party developers. Yours is largely a thankless task but the game is better for all of us as a direct result of your continued efforts.

What more do you want? The OPost is a group post/action, it's their (the group's) official response. Should the OPoster ctrl+c ctrl+v so his forum name shows?

Thank you, 3rd Party Devs, for the work you do to make this game playable. Kudos to Frontier for responding quickly.
Ok.
See the bold part? That's ad hominem. Ad hominem means you attacked the person rather than the argument. You can try to defend that, but the facts are the facts.
Did.. you just tell me to shut up and not post my thoughts on anything?
I genuinely want to know why it is the 3rd party guys think that this new era of communication is going to go longer than Drew's event.
Why can't I ask that in a thread that's about that?
