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.

Alright got another request if you can, and a question. First the question, I notice sometimes the distance indicator for routes is a question mark. Like for example if you look at this page here (http://inara.cz/market/18248). Under distance in the Export section you see several "?" rather than the actual distance in light years. My question is, is there anything we can do to improve that so it shows the distance rather than a question mark? Do we need to submit data to SDSC, or what? What can we do to help with that?

Ok now the request. In those Export, Import and Roundtrip sections. Can we get the System name and Station name in two separate columns? Right now they occupy the same column separated by a "/" symbol, so when I copy and paste those cells into Excel they are in the same column. If the system name and station name were in separate cells it would make importing that data into Excel a little easier.

Alternatively if there was a CSV link in the header of each of those sections that would display the Export, Import and Roudtrip sections data in a format similar to what I have below, that would also work well.

HR 571, Kopal Station, ?, Imperial Slaves, 1264 Cr, 55%, ±130Cr, older than 24 hours
HR 571, Schmidt Dock, ?, Imperial Slaves, 1259 Cr, 55%, ±120Cr, older than 24 hours
Baal, Tousey Orbital, ?, Marine Equipment, 782 Cr, 56%, ±120Cr, older than 48 hours

Got an error on loading the market page for a bit, went away though. Was happening on multiple systems market pages. here is the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function calculateProfits() in /mnt/data/accounts/a/artie/data/www/inara.cz/pages/starsystem.php on line 832

Laynor: Yep, also it is too narrow in low window size, it will be fixed today.

Zatzai: That "?" instead of distance is current limitation. I hold some pre-calculated distances (up to 80Ly I think) around selected star as it make things faster and when using favorites, there is possible that some are out of this distance. It will be alright in next update (today).

Stations/stars needs to be in a single column, as it makes the line shorter and whole table has much less problems to fit into page right column. Good idea with that .csv export, I am adding that to my ToDo list. Meanwhile it can be probably solved by macro on Excel size, or by exporting into .csv, replacing all "/' and importing back.

Thank you for report of that error. It seems to be just some temporal hiccup, fortunately. Or it is still happening?

@ZATZAi: Here's a work around within excel for you...

These two formula's will grab the system and the station name from the original copy'n'pasted info for you

Example Usage:
  1. Copy'n'paste the system/station info into A1
  2. Copy this formula into B1 =LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-2)
  3. Copy this formula into C1 =RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-FIND("/",A1))-1)

If you need any help integrating the formula's into your spreadsheet give me a poke

So, today's update is there:
- Wing can have custom discussion threads (can be created by wing commanders and squadron leaders)
- added two new radio stations: Hutton Orbital Radio and Third Rock
- various minor improvements and fixes
16 Aug 2015, 1:20pm
Yeah! thanks for that Thread's new possibility.

i started to use it and thought that 1 or 2 things missing.

1. add a post-it on the top of the thread (to remind the objective, rules, target, advencement, result, etc. of the topic)
2. reorder the position of each thread

Can the Wing Page default to the "Overview" section instead of the discussion page?
16 Aug 2015, 2:12pm
Veyder: Ah, fixed. It should jump to the discussion page just when there are some new posts.

Laynor: There can be thread description info set, which is permanently displayed on the right side. It can be used for it. I will add thread ordering later today.
Edit: Threads can be now manually ordered.

We need to update the powers more because they're currently inaccurate
16 Aug 2015, 8:19pm
For Xbox One they are probably off, this game version is running on a "beta" universe so it's not reflected here. But for live universe for PC/Mac it should be very accurate (Xbox One will go to this universe after release). Or do you noticed something wrong?

I can't have the top menu, if i zoom with my iphone.
It's like if the menu was going out of the browser.

Lol I'm on PC. How else would I have a tycoon rank? Go onto the game and check the powers section. I'm talking about the part where they rank them.

Example, Rui and Duval should be switched.
