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,

I've checked a few times, and maybe I'm blind and just can't see it, but Pacifier Frags aren't appearing in Stored Modules for some reason. I have 4 that I have saved and they do not appear as named modules, just as a blank section. They are also not available to select in the dropdown menus.

Thank you for the report, fixed. I removed it by accident while the new AX weapons were added to the list.

Is it bad I tried to click on the 'you' in that because it was underlined and I thought it was a link to something? =/

From the "potentially stupid question" department: I've seen people include images in their logbooks, but I want to know, does the logbook let us use images from our own on-site gallery or do we have to import from an external site such as Imgur? Thanks in advance.

I've used images from Flickr before.

Imgur is also a good site to use.

ArtieThat's weird. Do you remember which station(s) in what starsystem(s) it was and around what time it was (or should be) updated?


Sorry for the late answer. I can't remember what time I tested this out but I am looking at another war right now that should end in a station changing hands in the next couple of days. I'll keep my eye on how it looks with EDMC, EDDN and Inara submissions when that happens. Hopefully it was just a small hiccup last time.

You can use both on-site and off-site images in your logbook entries, all you need is the URL for the image.

There is an error on the page concerning engineer Bill Turner.

MEETING REQUIREMENTS
Gain Friendly status with Alliance of Independent Systems.

It should be, "Gain ALLIED status with ALIOTH INDEPENDENTS systems."

Was JUST in system to confirm it. Became "friendly" with the local faction but the permit mission for the Alioth system was still locked and stating that it required "allied" status.

(I have a screenshot but it wants an image URL..? Alrighty then...??)

I think it was Level 5. I got a Level 3 from him and I recall I didn't have the components needed for L4 or L5.

EDIT: My bad, the wiki is reporting Level 3.

Alright, let's see how it will be going. Please let me know if it will happen again.

Artie,

Another possible feature request:

Much like the "Open Discord In New Tab" link that comes with the Private Discussions, it'd be cool if we could add additional links to external websites under it. Possibly offer an "Add A New Link" option for Admins, they click it, and get a popup. The popup allows you to put in a URL and character-limited Description; or, to delete an existing link. When a new URL and Description are created, the software then renders an orange button whose title is the Description for the user.

Thanks for all you do!

Ok... I did not know where to put this one... but, hmmmm, how to you start/write a logbook for your wing? I don't see a button to click and here comes a box I could write one...

Sounds like a silly question, but here it is...

Thanks

Hmmm... I am not very sure about it, as this is a pretty specific functionality. I am not saying "no", but it is not a priority at this moment. For general links to elsewhere to useful sites, etc. I rather recommend to use one of the wings documents. You can also put descriptions there, etc.

Just write your logbook a regular way, it should also appear in the wing logbooks then (if it is not just a short personal text, the logbooks are displayed there from certain length (around 1,000 characters)).
