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.

Artie Ah, yes, one more reason why to do a proper module tracking. As I have no stored modules anywhere, I expect their price and effect to the overall assets value is just dependent for how much they were bought - so if they were bought in Shinrarta Dezhra, for example, it has the effect to overall assets, but any engineering has not, right? ...
Yes, only discounts have influence to overall assets.

Hello all. How do I get my identity back from a squatter?

I mean that someone else appears to be using my CMDR name.

I tried to sign up, but can't use my actual CMDR name (as recommended) because it's already in use. Not by me, that's for sure.

You have some great tools here, and it looks like a good community. I'd like to be a part of it but can't, unless I fake my name, which is unappealing to say the least.

I can prove my identity as I'm the only one who can sign into E:D with my CMDR name, so... What now?

Yours, CMDR G0rF (The real one).

This is the real CMDR G0rFHello all. How do I get my identity back from a squatter?
 I mean that someone else appears to be using my CMDR name...

Hello, please send me via PM a screenshot from the game with your name visible and with the current date and time visible somewhere (type it to the chat, for example) and also an actual screenshot of your in-game stats (right panel). I will try to solve it with the other guy, which seems to be actively using this account.

ArtieLogout fixed, B.I.G. fixed (both yesterday), the engineers requirements will be returned to the previous state ASAP.

GraXXoR: Thanks! The Elite rank confirmation is the ongoing problem, I rather do some confirmation via EDMC plugin data import from API or so, than manual fiddling with screenshots, even it is also not 100% bulletproof. Basically, anything that doesn't come directly from FD's API (or so) can be forged unfortunately, it is just a matter of effort.


Yeah, as a once DB programmer, we had to consider ALL outside information hostile. It's the only way to keep your data safe.
TBH, I think a simple 3 month-since-last-login dormancy timer would alleviate a lot of the chaff and should be very simple to program. moreover, anyone coming back after a hiatus would be none the wiser.

I just noticed there are different colour "Inara Supporter" logos... Could you run me through what the different levels mean? Looks like

May I suggest a language field for the Wing Information and a language filter in the Wing search list.

Having a few more ranks would be nice, but how and why they are assigned should be completely up to the Wing leadership. What the ranks are called ought to be Wing-defined also. I don't want to be "hardened" and I don't care how many rings a commander has when you cut them in half and count.

That's good idea, the 90 days limit is in place for the rankings/stats.
The logo types are based on the donation amount. I won't disclose any specific numbers, as any amount is appreciated.

You can name your wing ranks as you wish, it is in the wing settings. The non-officer rank promotions requirements are up to you, how do you set it for your wing. You can mass-promote/demote your members based on time in your wing in the wing roster edit (it was slightly enchanced right now). The only "hardcoded" limit is that there is no promotion possible for the Wingman and Senior wingman ranks for members newer than 10/30 days. The officer ranks have some limits and it can be eventually adjusted, when needed (to be more benevolent than strict), but from your request it seems you should easily fit into those limits.

Flights/squadrons cannot be renamed at this moment. I definitely want to keep the current limits for the flights/squadrons to avoid extreme cases like flights having more members than squadron in the other wing, etc.

But, generally, there can be more  (non-officer and also officer) ranks added when necessary. I've added the Reserve rank (no requirement) and Veteran rank (requires at least 60 days in a wing), which should provide more options for "careers". The officer roles and their assignments are more complicated, but you can at least internally set some rules who is responsible when some of your officers is missing. But, it may be really good idea to provide some field for deputies at least for squadrons, I will think about it.

This page: https://inara.cz/galaxy-blueprint/70/ contains inaccurate data for the "Power Distributor - Weapon focused (Grade 3)"

You have the ingredients listed for the System/Shields focused upgrade instead.


Just wasted two hours of gameplay gathering all the ingredients and then getting to Marco Qwent only to find out I've been collecting the wrong stuff!!!!

Frustrating indeed, though 17 exclamation marks is not necessary to be honest. A friendly comment is enough

Apologies for the problems caused. As those data are community collected, there may be some oversights of these rare errors. But, it's easy to fix - what are the correct materials required for this blueprint?

Sorry, realised my error later and came back here to inform you of the correct recipe. Rather than have you make the excursion to the engineer to acquire the information.
