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.

ArtieUnsterblich: Should be set already, as you've probably noticed.
Glflagg: Thanks!

Though totally off subject I unlocked the Meta-Alloy hull reinforcement today and found an inconsistency in the list of required materials. Here it lists 15x Focus Crystals. In game its 25x Focus Crystals. I'm guessing Frontier upped that requirement at some point and forgot to mention it...


Thanks, I will fix that in the upcoming update.


Thank you greatly!

Duckula81How do I update what modules I have on my ships on this website?



Upload your Journals, they should automatically update for you.


I do not understand all this linking business. I hope there is a simple guide.

Download a tool such as ED Discovery or ED Market Connector and in the Settings for that program link your Inara account with the Inara api key it gives you in your profile. Run the program prior to playing ED each time and it will sync up your account information to the Inara site automatically.

Hey, got a question ... I've noticed some of the information on here is incorrect (specifically engineers I have access to) how would I fix that? Also hiw would I edit stuff like aliegiance?

Here you can update anything needed in that regard.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but... profile pictures! As you can see, I haven't got one. But I'd like one!

What I have tried: (on my iphone) take screenshot using Xbox's built in capture features, open xbox app on my phone, go to screenshot, save screenshot, attempt to upload into profile picture change location."file too big" -crop photo to 25% of what it was- "file too big"
Upload photo to my personal gallery, succeeds.

I just want to put my handsome mug up next to the rest of y'all's handsome mugs!

Every time I have had a problem like that with an image its because extra unneeded data was added to the image when it was generated. Like mip maps, which can quadruple the file size. Sometimes more. Unfortunately thats all I can contribute being that I'm PC only. The process you're using to generate the image is one I'm not familiar with. Perhaps XBOX is embedding their own data during capture. Highly likely if the image is .png.

The avatar has to me 150 x 150 pixels to fit. Easy enough in PC but I don’t know about PS4

Though best to crop to 150x150 mine is 184x184 and works fine. Likely due to being a lower resolution image than the more commonly used game images.

Roger all that, guess I'll just need to wipe the dust off my old laptop and try that out.

Though I greatly appreciate the "Stoopidface"/Dark Helmet Man combo.

I hope this is the right place to quote and I'm not missing something... On the Engineers page it has their name and picture and the mods they do. Would it be possible to include their base system too? I endlessly click on them to remind me which systems they're in...

Click on the engineer and you will see it.

Hello Almighty Artie, Administrator, Developer, Gate Keeper and Hammer Bearer.

This would actually be a real time saver for me too i often need to check which engineer does what mods and then need to see where they are, my memory is not what it used to be. Having the system name on that screen would be stellar.

Yeah it's definitely on the personal screen for each engineer. Having their location on the general engineers screen may be helpful, but my personal opinion is that it'd get quite cluttered.

One certainly cannot focus on multiple engineers at once, and the moment they invite you they show up on your bookmarks in the galaxy map so that's a quick way to see who is closest.

Just the two cents from a newbie with a professional history in logistics IRL.

Will be in the update next week...

There will be also a change to the avatar image size check, so it should reduce possible errors on the large image uploads.
