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.

[FEATURE REQUEST/QUESTION]
Is it possible to get forum-style threads inside the Command Room, or even better, a "Command Room" for events and statements and a Internal Discussion with threads for internal discussions?
Problem is, as it is now, discussions get very crowded if all end up in one thread.

Of course only if it is not too much to do and you have the time! The tool is fantastic as it is already!

Another idea: A "Notify all wing members" feature would be great. So they receiva a PM or mail (their settings) that something is happening in their wing
Again, just take your time.

Yes, both is possible. I want to join some kind of notification with goals/missions list for wings and also with a twitter-like feature. Two threads for wing doesn't harm anything, too, so I will add it there as soon as possible...

Don't know if this is a useful idea but in the credit screen could there be an option for having a saving target? For example I need to get enough money for a Python, it could be great to see a line on the credit graph that indicates that point. Maybe also as part of where the site already estimates how long it would take to get to certain amounts?

An idea: A Wing calendar: Showing the next X dates where and at which time people of a Wing can be online to play together. Bit like a Doodle maybe?

Hmmm... there is question what principle will be better - if something more like a classic "raid" planner where the event is set to exact date or rather list of player availability, like Doodle, an on the results is decided when the event will be? Both principles has it's cons and pros.

It may be handy, I will try something that won't broke the graph...

Not sure if it just me or not but finding quite hard to pin down where current community goals are. Could we have a function that tells us what's current, where it's happening and possible options/sides/roles to take.

Good idea, I was briefly thinking about it, too. But it will need to be user-filled, there is no automated way how to get it. Also, at this moment I want to wait what brings Powerplay update...

The main forum suffers from the CG not being updated quick enough..... it's often faster to sign in to the game and check status that way. User-filled will suffer the same fate on this application as well... IMO

The problem on main forum is that this thread is updated just by one person. In our case it may be faster, but it depends on you, of course.

But on another point - I am playing with idea that there will be short background story/bio for each commander. Everyone can set it in few easy steps (for example: star system where commander was born, family background, early career, etc.) and background story will be generated. Also, it can be further "written" by ranks achieved, ships bought, allegiances set, etc. But, I need someone who knows Elite universe, knows Elite books eventually and most importantly - is able to write nice texts in english. I won't do it without that, as it is beyond my english language capabilities.
Technically it will be just few sentences for each option and these options are still open to any ideas. Is anybody interested and willing to help?

I like the Idea of a commander back story

I would love there to be more for Wings on here - the idea of having an Elite community for Wings is fantastic. There should be a simple form implemented for people to apply to join wings and for those in charge of the wings to vet their prospective new members
