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.

Artie - I don't think I've mentioned it yet but INARA is a great site, a credit to your talent.

Request: Is there plans to add in the new Region names into the Galaxy > Systems and Stations screen in the future? And also allow CMDRs to search Regions can find all systems and stations within a Region?

Is there a way for squadron leadership to ignore/override time requirements for ranks? We created our Inara squadron only recently, but we've been awhile for a year already and waiting for 30+ days to assign people their appropriate ranks is annoying. Making this a thing, and limiting it to maybe only Squadron (Deputy) Commanders would solve this problem.

ArtieNo plans for the multiple squadron membership at the moment. But, I would like to add an option for the current squadron supporters to "promote" any of them to "honorary member". It won't be a full squadron member (because it's not possible in the game, too), but some kind of "part-time member".


We have people like that. On discord they get the "reserve" role. You might use reservist as your term on Inara, it fits well (for combat wings).

Unfortunately, the "reserve" role is already in a regular roster. But if there are any other idea, it's more than welcome.

Hannibal0216I'm back after a break, just wanted to say thanks Artie and crew for all the updates and hard work. Lots of cool changes in the time I've been gone.

Thanks.

No immediate plans. As the Bubble and Colonia covers just a few regions, it doesn't seem like an urgent need. But, may be evaluated later with respect to various discoveries (although I suppose it will be mainly covered by the in-game Codex).

These limits are just on three non-officers ranks, so it shouldn't affect any "functional" things. I understand why it may be annoying, but there are no plans to lowering the limits (however, there is a plan to allow a custom limit to be set for each rank).

Something about the Flights:


It is a very complicated thing, to connect Flights and Flight groups with ranks.


For Example: If I promote a Pilot, I have to think about the Flights, because someone has to be Flight Leader and nothing more, like a SQ Leader, to establish a Flight.

I would be very happy if the Squadron Leaders could decide by themselves who could lead a Flight with no further restrictions by ranks.


Thanks as always for Inara. We love it!

Can you alter the current description for Inertial Impact from

Experimental upgrade that increases damage and converts half of it to kinetic, at the cost of introducing aiming jitter.


to

Experimental upgrade that increases damage and converts half of it to kinetic, at the cost of introducing aiming jitter (including fixed mounts). The jitter only applies to the Burst Laser that is upgraded, not other mounted weapons.

Artie, since you're considering adding the ability to comment on gallery images, would you consider adding a "shiny" button to forum comments? For symmetry? I often see great posts/comments and would like to give the author a compliment/thumbs_up/+1 but have nothing substantial to add to the discussion an adding a "me too" comment is just such noise.

Hi Artie just a question, i dont know if it has been asked already .

With squadrons beeing able to align them selfs to a faction and seeing all the faction and system data. will this automatic be transfert to inara with edmarket connector
or do you have to visit every system and station to get the data in to inara?

I would like to streamline this a little bit in the future - not in terms that any rank may lead any flight/flight group, but that people will be automatically promoted/demoted when assigned to/from the leadership. At least that is the idea so far.

Hmmm... what is the source of this information?

I was thinking about that some time ago, but probably not. I would like to have people expressing their opinions rather than just clicking the buttons. It also won't turn into an unwanted popularity contest that way.

It will not, the journals or anything other won't contain such data at once (I think it FDev design decision), so there is still neede to visit respective star systems (or do manual updates).

Hello Artie,

thank you very much für your response

I still think less automatic is better, at least to have the option to give someone access to a Tread or a Flight Leadership without thinking about the entire structure would make my life much easier.


Always knowing, only Inara made our life as we know it in the universe possible.

Greetings, is it possible to make a page for thargoid kill counts? ED Board has one but it is somewhat half-baked and requires manual upload. Different thargoid types can be easily identified by the bounty value, which is how USS-Survey plugin does it.

Thanks Artie, a shame for the design decision of frontier . perhaps in the future .

Indeed, the counter-argument is that people may start doing full "+1" posts. I know I've wanted to give posters here kudos now and then.

Well, it happens from time to time, but generally people rather write something longer than just this (or nothing at all, but that's the risk).

Maybe to some extent in the future, with the transactions log.
