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.

Soldiers, fighters, warriors,
a new feature for Inara was added - brand new Thargoid war section, covering the ongoing war with Thargoids. You will find recent battle reports, individual successes and a few other things in there, mapping the development of the war. I hope this outline will be useful to you and will provide a better information how the war is going. Also, some stuff may be even further improved and extended in the future. On top of that, a new medal related to Thargoids was added to your awards.

Happy bug hunting!

Thargoid war is very cool addition! And I want to contribute to it. But it seems that my combat logs are incomplete. They show only interdictions but no kills or nothing. Are there known limitations to ps4 import and combat log data?

EDIT: summary shows 4 scout kills so never mind. Combat log just didn't show any NPC kills I made last night.

Yep, and at my "Ranks and Reputation" page it shows what I killed 0 thargs. This is noncense. Can I hide this medal? I hate it because it shows 0, and I know I killed dozens and dozens.
I do not want to re-enter all the f*cking log files. Sorry, but I dont like this new medal at all.

Yes, the Thargoid kills are counted just from the recent updates (and any future updates), as mentioned below the medals. There is no way how to do that otherwise, as there are no records for the "life-time" kills in the journal. But, if Frontier will add such numbers to the game stats, it should be no problem to take it from there, so the best way is to ask them for adding that (if they are tracking it).

Hi Artie,

Loving the new Thargoid medal.

Maybe adding others in the future would be good (Materials collected by category or Rare goods traded, modules engineered etc).

Anyone else have a medal they would like to earn?

Thanks for all that you do

@Artie,
I just executed grep and wc commands in game log folder to find how many thargs I killed in total. Exactly 100. So I can live with this. When I will checking the medal, I remember to add 100 to its count =)
I don't believe FD will improve thargoid statistics in their API.
Sorry for my extra-emotional reaction in first time =))
And thank you, as always!

Thargoid war statistics is very welcome.

However Scout kills should be valued much less than Interceptor kills - now they are valued same.
And for interceptors: Hydras are definitely much harder to kill than Cyclops.
And the time it takes ... unless instagibbing.

For starters, if it is possible, use the bond values ... (though I think scout should be valued a bit more - about 50k).

Perhaps a point system would be viable if the information for Thargoid type is available: (Example stats only)

Scout =1
Cyclops = 5
Basilisk = 7
Medusa = 8
Hydra = 10

Yes, for now a kill is a kill, doesn't matter the type. However, I am tracking internally the types of Thargoids killed, so the scoring mechanism may be introduced later (I would like to have a good amount of "hard" data first). It definitely won't use the combat bond values (as Hydra kill is hardly worth 1500 Scout kills time and effort wise), but some scoring system as Renraiku outlined. I would also like to include a modifier for wing/large group kills to precise things even further, which is currently complicated to get and I have asked Frontier for including a parameter into journals similar as Bounty event has (but there is not sure if it will make it to the upcoming game update). So, yes, it's definitely something I would like to improve in the future.

@Artie, is the tracking of the Thargoid kills, retroactive?
Artie
16 Aug 2019, 9:50am
It is not, unfortunately. There are no records for the Thargoid kills in the in-game stats (in the journal), so there is not possible to get the life-time values.

Just a notice: The Xeno-hunter medal requirements were adjusted to more achievable values. Also, big thanks to 100.RUB and AXI for the data and feedback on this!

Anyone know how long it usually takes to verify your account? My frontier link has said "verification pending" for weeks...

Did you just buy that "NO-KEY INSTALL" version of the Elite game from Steam during the last sale?

No (Long ~36 digit) Frontier Developments Licence Key-Code, then you have no registration or authorization of your pilot (or game) with FD. No registration with FD, then no Commander linkup with your Inara account.

This new "Product" Steam is pawning off does not support user third party data links.
Your only licence for the game is with STEAM, and not the author, Frontier Developments.

If you have logged more than 2 hrs of game time Steam will not issue a refund on the game. I tried that too.

I'm sure it's just an oversight and neither Steam or FD imagined this new licencing arrangement would be a problem for their customers and are working hard to come up with a fix soon right?.
