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 The issue MetZwerg and ShinFain mentioned should be fixed now.


It works, thanks a lot

The weird thing then is that edsm updates correctly with all ships and modules. And as far as I know, it uses the same journal files right?

Shouldn't the modules also update automatically from the journal? Because it hasn't on the Type 6 im using now.

But will check more thourougly when I get home from work this evening.

Well, if you are using EDMC, it was probably update from cAPI which contains basic data for all ships owned. It would be nice to have this in the journals as well (I think that I posted it as a suggestion to FD), but until then there are some limitations.

GunslingerSullivanis it still worth trying to add our logs or just wait?

I just tried to upload a couple older journal logs from April this year (version 2.3) and two of them threw the invalid json error.
The other ones uploaded and achievments/assets where updated but no flight logs.

Flight logs from the 2.4 journal where added just fine. Compared the json objects, but couldn't find any difference between 2.3 and 2.4. Could be missing sth tho.

On a side note, since I couldn't find anything about this change, but are all flight logs prior to 2017(or current year?) now condensed into monthly summaries?

If do you tell me the filenames, I can check it out (I am temporarily storing journals imported for the debug purposes). Yes, the flight logs are condensed to summaries after some time, it was always that way (it is a part of optimization, as there is usually not needed to store all the details for old flight logs and even now has the flight logs table few millions of records).

ArtieThis is an issue unrelated to Inara with the cAPI not accepting the player credentials in some cases, FD is looking to it. Nothing EDMC (or similar tools) authors can solve, so there is some patience required while FD will fix this.


Ah, copy that, thanks

I figured, makes sense. I personaly just like to keep those records but unfortunately lost my old log files. Damn you Seagate ! Lesson learned, keeping them properly backed up now.

I've mailed you the files.

PS: Thanks for all the awesome work, this site has been part of my E:D experience ever since I started playing!

  • New station services were added and the search for nearest services improved. As those are new data coming from the journals, it may take a while until all stations will be properly updated in the database.


Can you add the new services to the manual starbase editor please for those of us console players that can't auto update bases?

Ok, that makes sense. Must admit I don't know enough about how the journal Works.Just one question I'm not sure if I've understood correctly.

Do the journal import inclede the loadut? The ship modules that is. 
Because for me it doesn't.

Pilots federation local branch seems to be being added by Cmdrs using the EDMC updates but that faction doesn't actually appear on the galaxy map. Is it possible to suppress seeing it as it messes up the count of factions within a system?

Seconded. For some reason FDev have made this 'minor faction' appear in the journal for all inhabited systems. It doesn't show up on the system map, and always has zero influence. Amusingly this is also causing the game's local GalNet news some issues, citing them as being there with essentially random influence levels, including far, far, more than 100%.

Our best guess is that this is something to do with the new Pilots Federation bounties. If so then it's to do with the issuance of them rather than where they're valid as this ghost minor faction shows up in Anarchy systems as well.

Just my personal opinion, but I've got this feeling that the Pilot's Federation faction is more to do with the search and rescue missions that have been added. I may be wrong but I will be looking into this soon.

I think Athanasius is right tbh. It'll be the same way if you use a KWS and get a "claim in Empire" bounty. If the Pilots Federation is present everywhere, that means Pilots Federation bounties are claimable and receivable everywhere.

Makes it a universal bounty.

artie, the repair and the research limpets are missing from the outfitting page

This sounds like the Devs are trying to legitimize the Pilot's Guild and justify how to collect bounties everywhere. Although it does raise the question.. Can we claim fealty to them? Or is this simply assumed until the claim fealty elsewhere?
28 Sep 2017, 2:42pm
Yes, the Pilots Federation Local Branch is very probably present in all non-anarchy systems for the new bounties purposes. I am ignoring it on the updates, but although they have 0% influence, they still can control some stations (for now I am ignoring also these updates (old assignments are kept), let's see if FD will change something about it in the patches or not).

Thanks, I completely forgot to update that, I will add them there.

Because for me it doesn't.

Not at this moment, as I would like to connect it with the stored modules and modules swapping in the future, if the general list of the stored modules will be added to the journals.

Can you add the new services to the manual starbase editor please for those of us console players that can't auto update bases?

Probably not. I expect the stations services will be populated pretty soon for majority of the stations and there is more services that are not listed at this moment and not visible in the game (but may be useful later if there will be some more obvious additional game functionality tied to it). For example as Docking service is obvious, Autodocking service usually not (at least for those not using docking computer). So I rather prefer to keep the manual edits simple for the common services and get the precise and complete list of services from the cAPI via EDDN/EDMC (and similar tools).

Journal import keeps importing a new copy of a ship I already have on my profile?
