Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

Hey Artie,

Not sure If we've broached the subject before but can't find anything in this (not Uber-long) dev discussion thread.

Have you given any thought to adding awards on here which can be given by flight leaders etc to their pilots.

Would be nice to have the option to name 3/4 Awards (which can be set to a generic little pic like the ranking pictures, in terms of lowest to highest) which we can put against pilots

So we could award Pilot x a rank one award. Pilot Y a rank two award, then maybe Another rank one award for Pilot X because he did the same things again

We're trying to give our pilots as much incentive as possible to sign up over on Inara and we're doing ok so far, but this would help us get them all over, I hope.

Just a thought anyway. As ever, things keep growing and improving here beyond what I thought was already great a month ago!

Update with Outfitting feature and other improvements (some of there were placed in last two weeks and are there just for completeness). I had planned wing alliance/coalition feature to be there as well, but I noticed one issue with it in last minute, so it will be added later.
  • New feature: Outfitting section in Galaxy, where you can search for stations selling equipment and ships you need (thanks to Otis B. and EDDN guys for data)
  • Galleries: to minimize our gallery cluttering, where great images are often drowned in other stuff I added few simple rules for image/video posting. These are displayed on image/video add page, so please read them before posting. Also, some images are archived after some time and not further displayed in the main gallery.
  • Wing management improvements: Discord widget (options in wing settings), removed lock for Flight leader promotions, flight names in roster overview in Flight edit, auto promote button in roster edit
  • Various other improvements: rankings positions and game/role/style info in CMDR profiles, list of commanders who liked your stuff in "Shiny" tooltip, direct links to discussion posts, etc.

Pixel BanditsHey Artie,
Not sure If we've broached the subject before but can't find anything in this (not Uber-long) dev discussion thread.  Have you given any thought to adding awards on here which can be given by flight leaders etc to their pilots. Would be nice to have the option to name 3/4 Awards (which can be set to a generic little pic like the ranking pictures, in terms of lowest to highest) which we can put against pilots....

Yes, I have something like that planned. I am still not sure if I should merge this with honorary titles feature mentioned earlier or not. Also I am not sure if where should be some simple "award designer" tool where you can set up your award (it's name and how it looks like) or leave it completely opened and each wing can create award visuals by their own (image file upload). Both approaches has their pros and cons, unfortunately mixing both may provide terrible results.

Hey there

i don't get this point:
-  removed lock for Flight leader promotions

more explanation is possible ?

ad 1] In wing settings you can put there your Discord server ID and it will shows a small widget on the left side of wing page with your members online on Discord.
ad 2] Previously it was not possible to promote/demote Flight leader assigned to some flight. Now it is possible (he will left the flight automatically when promoted and stay in the flight as regular member when demoted).

To keep it easier for yourself it might be worth leaving them as predetermined small icons (they don't want to be too big) which people can select from

I know I'd be happy with just being able to name them and to have a few so we can pick from a few predetermined designs

If you let people design their own, remember this place will be full of penises and vulvas before you can blink

Is it possible to make a change so we can choose what rank we want to autopromote to?  We don't usually use the "recruit" rank but we leave almost everyone at "pilot."  Right now it seems we can only autopromote to "senior wingman."

The other changes own and are good, thank you.

i think that this Outffiting & shipyard tools is lacking one important thing:
The name of the system we are. (distance from.... where?)

maybe you can reuse that "Select system" in the market tab

If was actually thinking about some customization for predefined awards like each award will consists from 2-4 pieces and anyone can design it from these pieces by their own. But that's just an initial idea, so we will see...

It was meant as "up to", so usually members gets promoted to Pilot and just those which are in the wing long enough will get Wingman or Senior wingman ranks. But, I added additional select menu for it right now, so the maximum rank for Auto promote can be set.

Actual system set is in the bottom of the listing already.

I like the idea of that. That sound awesome (as long as one of the pieces isn't a huge double ended dildo...)

Also, while you're here. If I expand the text box for typing (this big white thing) using the expansion grabber, downwards is fine but it'll let you expand it out of the light grey and into the dark grey, which means you then can't see it (and some text)...

It's ok now I have gotten used to it but somebody will shout about it at some point

ArtieLaynor: Yes, that's what I wrote.]


Please stick to your guns Artie and stay focused.

@Laynor, there is random.org for all your role-playing dice needs. No need to reinvent the wheel here. The article you cite is horribly misguided I'm afraid. Weak pseudo-random number generators seeded with the current date are laughable.
23 Oct 2015, 12:14am
@Ky Vatta : Whatever about that seed thing, i didn't had a serious looking on it. the timestamp of the post time can be use to generate a pseudo-random number.
But anyway, if i asked that tool, that's not for a personnal reason, but for the whole member of my team.  And we push the roleplay far inside it.
We also try to interact with other wings for this roleplay. So a simple dice's tool is not That big.
Using another website or roll real dice just front of our computer doesn't have sense.

I can't seem to open my wing section (all the others work fine), anyone else having an issue?

Edit: Issue gone.
