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.

Thank for the details. As I see what was received from the cAPI - the problem is in Frontier's data, as locations (Beckman Terminal) of those ships mentioned are different than the rest of the ships. I am afraid there is nothing I can do. You can try to relocate the ships or jump into them for a while, maybe it will force cAPI to export the ship locations correctly (also for the future updates).

Thanks, I'll take them out for a spin and see if that might correct it. I kinda figured it was on FDev's end. I appreciate you looking into it.

PS4 Frontier Data Import

Faction ranks don't seem to be updating correctly. I've been grinding Imperial rank and I'm currently about 70% up Viscount but the import hasn't changed my progress from 27% on the 23rd Jan.

HaloJ: Ah, yes, the cAPI doesn't contain the progress percentage, just ranks. I've decided to keep the percentages and do not reset them for a case somebody will have to set them manually. I should probably mention that in the FAQ as a technical limitation.

Thanks for the clarification!

Hello commanders,
Is it also the material data in near time
from console PS4 to Inrara to transport? That would
save a lot of work and time.

Wojownik: Unfortunately, such data are not present in Frontier's cAPI, so no plans for that (at least until they will add it there). But when (and if) it will be added, it's easy to implement it to Inara updates.

Hello Artie,
First I want to congratulate you for the amazing job, this website is very precious and the community wouldn't be half as pleased to play Elite if wasn't for it.

Now I have a request, and I don't know if it hasn't already been made, to be able to organize the Cmdrs Logbooks by Shiny points instead of chronologically. I would like to be able to read the most voted, since there's some amazing role play and funny entries.

Thank you!

Hello,
I was thinking about some "highlights" feature for logbooks, that will list the most favorite entries (based not just on likes count), even the older ones, so people will have a chance to read the entries that may otherwise miss them completely. Maybe also with some author highlights or stuff like that. It's just a working idea at the moment, but I prefer to do that this way than just sort entries by likes count, as it will just lead to inflating the "score" and quality entries that have just a little bit less votes may be left unnoticed.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Hello, in the Engineer/Synthesis section i miss the Shock Cannon Munition. Is it excluded by design?

Hi Artie,

I have a request. Each faction has its own overview page that lists all the systems states etc, https://inara.cz/squadron-faction-detail/ is the page and the new States and Happiness tab is very useful, thank you.

Is it possible to have the same page, only populated with systems of an individual Cmdrs choice?

Thanks

Shad.

I'm sure that this has probably been asked before, but I suppose I'll ask as well...

In regards to the cAPI, does FDev plan on upgrading it over time, by expanding the data it exports? If so, when can we potentially expect that to come?

Hello, it's my oversight, I will add it there ASAP. Thanks for notice.

I think that I can made something for the favorite star systems. I will put that on my ToDo, but no ETA.

I am not aware any plans for cAPI upgrades. The latest official statement is that cAPI is provided "as is" and is unlikely it will be further extended. The plans may change, of course, but won't bet on that too much...

Love the new "Import frontier data" option, but would it be possible to have it so that the user can set up some sort of timer for it to update on its own? It's not really necessary but would like it to be like that.

Keep up the good work as well.
