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.

Laynor: Ah, yes, fixed. It was checking for duplicity deleted threads too, which is nonsense.

ArtieMcLeod: Ah, wait, I didn't knew we have author of amazing Coriolis there! Nice work!
There is currently no Inara API and just very brief and future plans for it so far, also definitely no open source. But, it would be nice to have some integration between our tools for sure, we can discuss it via private messages. Do you have some idea already?



Yeah I have a few ideas! I will PM you


Can't wait to see what great new features this will bring.

the "Sticky post (optional)" is always confusing with the "new post".

is it possible to change the color with something else?

Hello Artie,

i've got again a new problem. In the private discussion, i have an alert which appear in 0 thread.

probably that my members will have the same problem.

Laynor: Yep, it's caused by alerts from deleted threads. It's fixed for the upcoming Inara update, until then it needs to be fixed individually. I expect it should be OK now for you (and your members). No problem with the sticky post color change, will be there.

Laynor: Ah, it should be alright after few posts, depends on user and state of his history. If not, this complication will end next Tuesday or Wednesday

Artie, could you enable multiple wing-membership, at least with a 2-3 wing limit?
Since Mobius went live on INARA as a wing as well, and that does make sense IMO, I would hate to abandon my beloved Blood Serpents wing ... yet since I play in Mobius most of the time, membership there would be the most sensible thing ...

A moral dilemma ... can you fix that ... pleeeeease?

Well,  it's rather a feature than a fix and I have it on my list under section "maybe". It's not clear "yes" or "no", but to be honest I am rather inclined to the second option. In my experience from MMO games there is better to stick with "one wing, one loyalty" as multiple guild/wing membership usually leads to loyalty problems, one guild becoming dead or both guilds merging together sooner or later anyway.

It seems to me that IBS is hibernating a little bit at this moment, so why do not re-establish it as a squadron under Mobius wing? You can get similar autonomy that way and same way it can give Mobius wing solid player base, which can lead to increased activity and more stuff that can be done, also for Imperial Blood Serpents.

Instead of multiple Wing Memberships would it be plausible to create a mechanic on Inara where multiple wings could co-operate. Perhaps a common thread or cooperative page that can be viewed and posted to by only Allied Wings.

Doing something like this would solve the issue of loyalty and multiple wing membership. Members could remain loyal to their wing, yet work with potentially many other wings.

Plus if Wing Commanders wanted to work together towards a common goal they could easily coordinate between Allied wings in a centralized place.

Ah good idea, an alliance page.
But that would be good to set an expired time which will remove the alliance automatically after some days.
As said Veyder, we could work an unique goal. But not forever.

Yes, alliances seems to be a way to go. I was thinking about it when Powerplay appeared in the game, but then interest in PP faded out, so it was no priority. But something like that is definitely on the list.

I disagree with the expiration time limit. The alliances should last indefinitely or until the Wing Commander removes his wing from the Alliance.
