Aunty Sledge

J. J. ThomsonHello to everyone,

I was looking at the ship details in my hanger, and noticed my starting sidewinder shows '-' for the jump range and cargo capacity. My cobra shows the proper values. I only have these two ships since I cleared my save after returning to the game years later.

I use EDDiscovery for API syncs, but I could not find any journal entries that contain these values. My assumption is that Inara calculates them to populate the ship details page. Is there anything I need to do to get those values to update for the sidewinder? It's on OCD thing of mine.

I've used EDDiscovery to sync data since the very first journal entry on this character, so everything should be synced. Ship modules, etc. are all current and accurate.

Thanks Artie!

I can help you with that one as I've had to do the same myself. Jump into each ship, log out to menu and back into the game. That will generate the journal entry with all your stats on the ship you are in.

Do that for each ship with missing stats and they will eventually make their way into Inara. The important bit is to be in the ship with imcomplete data when you log in.

AHIs there a way to "ping" Fleet Carrier to see if it's still where it was last reported?

AHThis is my 3.. maybe 4th time, when I am way out there, take a detour to get on a FC with services I need, only to find out there is nobody in the system. Time and resources wasted.

AHI am surprised that ED servers do not push that data out to some type of service we can get notices from.

As far as I know, the only FCs one can reliably find way out there are listed in the Deep Space Support Array spreadsheet. I suggest to use those only, unless you know the owner of the FC in question and can contact them.

AH
Thanks. Big help.
BTW, what if they gave you the data and you made it into a searchable like the "nearest"? That would be really awesome.
Thanks.

Basically as Sampi mentioned. There is no "push" of information from Frontier, some kind of pushed information is only from players via EDDN network (by using EMDC, EDDiscovery, etc.) and that information only tells "the FC is here" for the given star system, but not "the FC is not here" (or at least not very reliably). The rest must be requested and there are various limits (a scope on information provided, etc.). With the fact that FCs can jump very often, there is always a risk the position of FCs outside of very frequent star systems may be outdated.

A large portion of DSSA fleet carriers is in the database already and they should be fairly up to date (assuming most of them are static). There probably were more of them in the database at some point, but as I am pruning carriers nobody saw for a while they are gone now (until next re-visit).

I was talking about "Deep Space Support Array spreadsheet" data.
No worries, I found this: https://edastro.com/galmap/?layer=regions&pins=DSSAcarriers

Artie[...] So although journals are a GREAT source of information and Frontier deserves all kudos for them, they need a lot of processing/transforming to make the data usable for everybody

And I would like to take this quote as an opportunity to say again thank you, thank you, Artie, for all the work you do to keep Inara functioning as amazingly well as it does.

Thank you, too!

It depends, I am assigning the first pledge manually to ensure it's on a correct account, usually no longer than 16 hours. In any case, your supporter status is set, thank you very much!
