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.

Hi there Artie, me again.

In the Experimental effects page, could you divide the effects up by module:
one long list is difficult when one doesn"t know the exact name.

eg.

Thrusters
  •  Drag
  •  Distributed
  •  Stripped
  •  Heat Spead


Also, in the fleet list, most people who manage a fleet have multiple ships of the same type... In the list on the right, which lists ships by value, could you use the given ships' names rather than the ship type... (maybe even a toggle box for name/model).


Thank you for your consideration.

PhelboreBug: http://inara.cz/local-lottery-numbers returns a login page
Expected behavior: It should return my local winning lottery numbers for the next drawing.


That's the feature - anybody using such numbers and winning a lottery may sue me for causing him disgustingly rich with related problems like what to spend money on, etc.. No numbers, no winners, no problems.

SyrelaiI've noticed the "faction overview" of my wing has reported differently recently in regards to the mission count of my fellow wing members. For example, a CMDR on my wing was reported to have completed 120+ missions as of a week ago, and now it only reports a completed mission count of 76. The influence totals have remained the same for everyone, but all CMDR's in my wing have been affected by this.
Is this a bug?


It depends, the overview display stats for the last 30 days, so it's quite possible those 40+ missions "missing" were simply out of this time frame and just those 76 missions were completed in the last month. Is it a case?


I wasn't aware the mission counter only lasts for 30 days. What about the influence? is it the same (with a 30 day expiration)?

Dear Inara peoples,

Please add the following to commander roles in Inara settings:

"Rebel," "Revolutionary," and "Freedom Fighter.'

The mind boggles that these are not already there.
Not every freedom fighter is a terrorist, no matter what the Imps say.

Thank you in advance.

Freedom Fighter is already an option - I've got it on my profile!

I sit corrected.
Thank you.

Now, how about "Rebel" and "Revolutionary" for the list of options?

What's the difference between Rebel, Revolutionary and freedom fighter? They all seem like synonyms for the same thing.

I suppose Rebels and Revolutionaries might not always be fighting for freedom?

They might be fighting to impose a dictatorship, or theocracy.

In their rhetoric, they would probably claim they are fighting for freedom though (theirs, but not anyone else's!)

Revolutionaries - the guys who try to convince guys that their way is good and others are bad.
Keyword: Fanatics.

Freedom Fighters - the good guys fighting some odd regime with certain honourable code in mind.
Keyword: Anti-Regime.

Rebels - don't really need to be good guys but usually they also don't hold openly destructive ideologies.
Keyword: Anti-Gov.



That's why I proposed "Renegade" role to Artie, because it's not any of these, not Outlaw or Terrorist. Or even Pirate roles. Renegade doesn't simply fit rebels or pirates, because it's mostly a guy who lost faith into certain values or organization he believed into.

For example, my character is Anti-Federal because it strays away from the basic values like freedom and justice, especially with the recent outrageous Far God Cult arrests without any evidence (which alone is heavily illegal act on its own). But just because my character hates on Federation it doesn't mean he'd go on full rampage against its citizens - hence, he's a Renegade.

Ah, but that's the problem. Everyone thinks they're fighting on the side of good. Very, very few people go to war to be evil, they think that what they're doing is the right thing to do. The other side sees them as the bad guys though? A freedom fighter is just someone who wants to put their chosen guy in charge because it's the right thing to do, regardless of what the other side thinks.

I need help trying to get my Xbox one commander profile linked to this site how do I do that or can it only be done with pc?
18 Sep 2018, 11:22pm
It can only be done by PC. XBox just doesn't expose the journals so they can't be uploaded. It's my understanding this is a Microsoft restriction, not Frontier. You can update everything manually tho.

I will add the "Rebel" there in the next update. The "Revolutionary" is usually just a temporal role during the time of a revolution, so I don't think it's necessary to clutter these options with such similar roles.

Yes, the whole table reflects just the last 30 days.

My Xbox One is saying that image capture is not available in the game. Is this a weird bug that just came up? Is it an Xbox issue, or just mine? Any ideas?

Thanks

Bug report: mission log seems to struggle with Source & return missions, the string comes out unformatted:
23 Sep 2018, 3:15pm
Yes, as noted in the API docs, it's a best practice to provide as much information as possible in a case of mission entries. In this case, no info about commodities and their numbers were provided, so it is not properly displayed. I will fix the output to show some "?" instead of "%strings", but it still will be wrong without those details.
