Inara updates, bug reports, requests

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.
I've been playing Elite again after taking a break and having EDMC automatically update my inara profile has been an amazing help with managing my assets in game.

However, there's one missing feature that would make this even better.
According to my (very limited) understanding of Inara's and Frontier's APIs as well as the player journal, this would be possible.

See, EDDI has this interesting feature that tells you if you can purchase your currently equipped ship modules at a cheaper price in a station you're currently docked at.
This is neat for optimizing rebuy costs, although when you own a sizable fleet you don't really remember which ones were bought discounted, and flying each ship around the bubble to check, or doing it manually, would be very time consuming.

With Inara already tracking all your ships and their modules (along with their costs), I think it would be great to have the "unoptimized" rebuy costs pointed out to you, along with the nearest station that has a cheaper version of the modules in stock.

Either way, this is just my humble suggestion.
Keep up the GREAT work with the site.

Andy GrahamHi Artie,

INARA is just getting better and better and The Fatherhood Wing really appreciates all your work.

Is it possible to have an additional Wing Role called Membership Officer, this role could then be given to someone as an addition to their Wing Rank, like Ambassador role.

This role would enable the person to approve/reject membership requests, but would not give them permission to change the roster unless they had the appropriate rank.

The Fatherhood is finding that as we get a bigger membership across the world, the timezones mean that sometimes a membership request can be waiting 10 hours before someone sees it and we would like to react quicker by having members in different timezones with this ability to approve or reject a membership request.

Many thanks

Yes, that's no problem. I will add such role in the nearest minor update.

Technically it's not a problem, as it is used also for the Outfitting here, but - where it should be displayed?

  • My Fleet - little ⚠️ icons next to ship value, that would indicate "unoptimized" rebuy costs, with a pop-up tooltip saying so.
  • My Fleet - Stored Modules -  ⚠️ icons next to values of modules
  • My Fleet - Ship Details - add prices of each module on the list, and  ⚠️ mark them if they're unoptimized.

Clicking on the ⚠️ icon would take you to a module search page (which already exists) for that specific module, prioritizing discounts.

I guess ship hull value would also have to be added to the ship details list, but the value itself is already being imported from the game, so it's just a matter of displaying it.

I hope I explained this clear enough, if not I'll try to make some mockups later.

Thanks,

Thanks for the clarification. Although it's a lot of clutter on the respective pages without obvious link to the current station, it's right that something like that may be useful. I will think about it.

How's it going Commanders? I just wanted to take a minute and thank you guys that use the elite dangerous Market connector tool. Even if you're not actively running trading missions or trading in general the updated prices that it sends to eddb. IO and other trade tool websites does help those of us that are. If you're not running it look into it, it's helpful to your fellow Pilots. Thanks again and Semper Fi.

Can it default to the General board when discussions is clicked? That's where I want to be most of the time anyway.

I was just writing out a list of wanted/needed materials and noticed discrepancies between E:D and Inara in terms of Raw Material grades. I definitely recall some of the materials having different grades so they may have been adjusted in 3.0

Zirconium Grade 2 -> Grade 4
Antimony Grade 4 -> Grade 5
Polonium Grade 4 -> Grade 5

I do not have any Boron, Lead, or Rhenium to check the grade of those materials.

Is there a way to change display language for the material storage page? I've recently switched my game language over to english, but the materials still show up in german...

Artie, I just wanted to write down how I feel about this site. Yes, I'm a little tipsy after a few beers in the hotel bar, after flying a particularly grueling day dealing with thunderstorms, aircraft maintenance issues, and sick passengers, but you have really built something awesome here. Elite wouldn't be half the game without you and the API developers (EDMC, EDDB.io, Thrudd, EDSM, and many more). I wish FD gave you more props by installing your work into their game instead of developing crappy shadows of what you do.

Anyway, you do great work.

About the Engineer COLONEL BRIS DEKKER page, I would like to suggest an edit in the unlock requirements.
She requires 1 million combat bonds for the Federation, other Factions combat bonds wont work.

Hi Artie,
first: you do a damn good job. Thanks for your efforts. Now my (little) problem. Under Engineers/Tech Broker I see for e.g. Power Plant that 10 Energy Grid Assembly is missing. But infact I have in my cargo hold same.
This persist since days.

Artie,

Would it be possible to add a further choice to a mission's visibility to include own wing and other selected wing(s)?

Well, the situation is a little bit more complicated - for some unknown reason, the materials in the game seems to have two rarities - one that is displayed in the inventory (right tab), one that is used for the material traders. No idea why it is that way. For the clarity and to avoid chaos, I am using here the rarities that are used for the material traders, as it directly affects conversion ratios and is probably more important for players.

As Slubman mentioned, in your Settings.

Thanks. It seems there is a wrong check, I will fix that.

Hmmm... maybe. I will think about it (but the approach of setting of ally types, which will be also used for the missions may be more feasible).
