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.

Artie: Is there anything that can be done if the equipment/loadout search results are incorrect?
05 Mar 2016, 9:37pm
Well, if the data are outdated, it can be updated via Market Connector/EDDN. Please also note that outfitting availability may be gated by local minor faction reputation or may be temporarily "sold out", but it is something that is hard to handle/filter without knowledge how exactly it works in the game. There is also bug in iOS API that sometimes provides outfitting data even if the station has no outfitting service (then it can be solved by disabling that service in the station edit). I am afraid there is nothing more I can do with it otherwise. We can just push Frontier to fix the bugs and/or to make proper API for such kind of data (which may eventually bring more actual updates).

Thanks Artie. That's a way more detailed and thoughtful answer than I could have expected. I'll write it off as most likely "out of stock".

So, commanders, there is new Inara update with some new stuff and improvements:
  • New feature: Search page for the most common stuff like star systems, minor factions, commanders, etc. It has basic functionality for now, but it should serve its purpose.
  • New features in Galaxy: Star systems, stations and minor factions listings with detailed informations. Please update/add your wing minor factions if you are having it in the game and not present (missing minor factions will be removed from your wing settings in two weeks or so).
  • Partial Market page overhaul to provide more detailed information here (and also due some optimizations made)
  • ...and as usual - various improvements, tweaks and minor features added (ship roles in fleet, wing related stuff, elite ranks statistics, etc. etc.)

And... one question: Does anybody know exactly how minor faction states works in the game? Let's say when faction XYZ which is present in star systems A, B, C enters a Boom state due actions in system A, is this state valid just in system A or also in systems B and C? In other words - is the minor faction state system dependent or is always valid for the whole minor faction, doesn't matter where it is?

Thanks for the site updates!

States should exist across all systems that a faction is present it. Although (I believe I am right on this but need to check) conflict states (war, civil war and election) do not show in all systems, only the one in question. However, it is still a universal state, as a faction cannot have another state elsewhere.

I think that is all correct.

Many thanks, Artie!

It is indeed the case that conflict states only show in the System where they occur, and not anywhere else. The other States do show throughout every System the Minor faction is present in. That's a crucial thing to know if you're trying to take over a certain Minor factions property. If you're unable to trigger anything although the needed requirements would be met (60% influence to trigger a conflict state for the dominating Space Station in a System OR matching influence % for every other Station and possible planetary Port.) you need to locate the System where the faction you want to beat has expanded to and is locked in a Conflict.

If planetary Ports can be taken over this way needs to be tested still, unless someone else already has done such and would like to share the results with the community.

Thank you for answers, guys. I also expect that war/civil war in some system removes other states for the whole faction, right? So it is not possible that some faction will be in war in the system A, but also having state Bust (for example) in system B and C from the past, before the war started?

Conflict states cancel out all other States. Before we had our War starting in our newest expanded System we had a Boom for three days which was cancelled out by War. Normally a Boom state can last up to 2-3 weeks.

Can we get a 'results per page' option please? I'd rather see 200 systems at once than 849 pages

Artie - site updates are awesome. Thanks very much!

Artie, would you consider a "compare markets" feature, where commodity data for two selected systems would be viewable side by side so that trade opportunities would be easily visible? Maybe later that could extend to compare al systems along a multi-hop route, to help spot opportunistic trades while travelling to a specific destination?

The current trade opportunity data focus on profit, but not really the destination.

Or.. Does this already exist, and it's another one of those cases where you've solved a problem I didn't know I had?

Great, thanks.

No options for this, but I doubled number of records per page right now, so it should be better.

James HussarArtie, would you consider a "compare markets" feature, where commodity data for two selected systems would be viewable side by side so that trade opportunities would be easily visible?

Yes, I has it on ToDo list already, but I am unable to tell when it will be done at this moment. Still so many stuff that can be here...

Please send me a PM and tell me which e-mail are you trying to set for your account, I will take a look where the problem is.
