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.

Now the problem is that I do not see how much total material for exchange I have, unless some of it is reserved.

For example, if I need both Compound Shielding and Shielding Sensors, I see I can trade Imperial Shielding for either… but I cannot see if I have enough Imperial Shielding for both.

I suggest to display something like “[N total]” for components with no reserved amount. (If some amount is reserved, the existing “[X out of N reserved]” does the job fine.)


Haha, I thought somebody will be missing it.
The total number was added, thanks for the feedback!


WOW!

Thanks you guys! This makes things much more clear and man that was a quick update! Also, good find for seeing the total available.

It seems like today’s* GalNet publishings confused bots which fetch the articles slightly because both the English and French versions have appeared over on the main page (I have it set to English language), and the English one seems to have lost its formatting in the process.

Not a huge deal, just figured it worth pointing out. This also occurred to at least one Discord bot which I saw relay the French article on two servers instead of the English one, to some mild amusement on my end. If only because I happen to understand it.

*Tuesday’s, if you’re in the EU like me.

Thanks, it happens sometimes (the Galnet article in another language is temporarily present in the English data of the official Galnet feed). Fixed.

Why INARA saying ive never done exo bio or merc work? Only the 2 new sections for "on foot" are reset back to 0? Did this happen to anyone else? Ive updated and even logged in and out and it seems it has taken all my progress away.

It may happen when you play in Horizon and import your journal, but jumping back to Odyssey and importing the data afterwards will fix it.

A stupid idea but why not. Some people are the same kind of touchscreen-incompatible as I am, and, scrolling stuff on mobiles, can unsubscribe or un-shiny something accidentally. Maybe it's possible to add some kind of confirmation or press delay to those actions?

Hmmm... that generally shouldn't happen and I am not very inclined to add another friction there. But, what browser and browser version are you using, please? Just to be sure it isn't something browser-specific and there may be some solution for it (like that it may be generally very sensitive to tap things when scrolling or so).

Standard Android Chrome from the appmarket, and a 5'' Android 10 phone. If that shouldn't happen, perhaps it's something wrong with my phone, when it registers the beginning of a 'swipe' action as a separate tap. The thing is old anyway.

Thanks. I have a trouble to replicate the problem even with the touch sensitivity increased (you may want to check that under your phone Settings > Display and turn it off, if desired). The test however brings another question - is the action truly performed, so for example an item is added to favorites or the button is just highlighted, like with a mouse hover on desktop (which may happen quite often, I should probably address that to make it less confusing on touch devices)?

It is a shame and extremely frustrating that Fleet Carriers cannot be filtered out of EVERY commodity list. The inclusion of Fleet Carrier buy and sell commodity prices makes many of the commodity listings worthless if the Fleet Carriers cannot be filtered out of the list. For example, the Commodities list (https://inara.cz/elite/commodities-list/) includes Carriers, making all of the numbers worthless. If you include the Carrier price in the average number, or the max number, or the minimum number, these numbers become meaningless. Another example, the link for gold (https://inara.cz/elite/commodity/42/) brings up the "Where to buy Gold for best price" list, but by including Carriers means that the list is only partially right, with no way to filter out the Carriers. And the "View More Buying Locations", while it allows for Carriers to be ignored, doesn't give the same answer as the "Where to buy Gold for best price" list due to the limit of distance. The same goes for the "Where to sell Gold for best price" list. It woud be ideal to be able to filter Carriers out of EVERY commodities list if so desired, by providing for example a flag on the account settings to ignore Carriers.

It does not.

Yes, because you can buy the Gold there. If you prefer to not buy stuff from the fleet carriers or any other station that doesn't match your preference, that's what the commodity search is for. There is no limit on the distance, unless you set it in the search settings.

Feature request:

The star system information pages give a daily estimate of commander traffic within a 24 hr period. Would it be possible to have a graph that tracks this activity over a time period of 4 weeks or so? It may be useful to BGS operatives and probably even moreso with the advent of PP2.0 to form a baseline of player activity in each system, and to know when player activity is abnormally high or low in a given system and how that data compares to changes in faction influence. If no graph, perhaps a simple average for player visits to the system over the last 4 weeks would be useful to compare it to the daily counts.

all Starfield DLC entries to have a font-letter size indicator (ie symbol or icon) of what DLC it comes from and distinguish it from Starfield vanilla or other DLC to come

There is a DLC tag at some places for the most important stuff already, but I needed to tone it down elsewhere temporarily as it was a mess on places like a location page for Dazra where everything was marked as DLC. But I will address that once all the data from Shattered Space will be in.

It's not likely at the moment for various reasons (it's just a rough estimate and thus not entirely accurate, its use is limited and misleading and it may even discourage people for updating their data in some cases). But, I may reconsider it after PP 2.0 and use something more general as an activity indicator, but that's depending on what data will be available in the journals.

Artie,
Strange thing, there was a FC with Risk Assessments - [TWH] Alice's Rest (N7Y-71Z) in Yokusu. Went there, they had no items listed for sale. Updated my Pilot with Update Game Data and Alice's Rest still shows the Risk Assessments. Rinse and Repeat, still there.

Weird.
