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.

ArtieThe blue dots for the expansion hints just a low faction number in the star systems. As I am thinking about it, I probably should remove it completely as the number of factions displayed there is sufficient (as it lists just the star systems within the cube now and the blue dot was reflecting that too, before the latest changes).


As you've said: it's not needed any longer.


ArtieCurrently is the only 20Ly cube displayed as in most cases it's sufficient. With 40Ly cube the list goes to be quite large and it's an overkill a little bit.


Yes, it's not only sufficient in the bare majority of cases, but also showing more would be problematic in the first case. If you ever decide to show more than this, please do it only after hitting an extended-cube button or so.

Thanks again for having added and constantly improving this great addition to Inara.

The "larger expansion cube" was a thing when you went into Investment when there wasn't a valid expansion target before invasions existed.

Expanding when you have nothing with that 40ly range seems to just fail these days (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that).

I'm a little confused at the numbers displayed in the current station rescues.

Before the operation started, I had a total of 65 passengers (tourists) delivered. After participating in the stations rescues, that number jumped to 1937 (as recorded on my CMDR page).

On this page: https://inara.cz/galaxy-thargoidwar-conflict/1/20320/ it states that I have only 150 civilians rescued.

The number reflected in the "Hero's of the battle" however has dropped twice since I started watching it last week. Now it says I only have 46, while earlier tonight, it was 70.

I realize this is trivial but I worked hard to stay at the top of the list and I only curious as to why the numbers keep changing

Thanks!

Hello,
yes, it takes just the latest values (last 7 days) to make it more dynamic, so the older values are not counted towards the actual stats (but the lifetime values are kept, of course). That's the reason why your number are dropping.

The only possible issue is that missions completed very fast after the previous one (within a single second) may not be counted in (to prevent same missions being evaluated multiple times), but it is just a minor issue not entirely related to this mechanics.

I would appreciate to tag my stories with a specific language and also search for stories with a specific language tag.

Thanks once again Artie.

I appreciate your quick replys greatly.

Artie
Nerys NymeiArtie, may I respectfully request a little feature?

We are using a multi-recipient private message to exchange ideas for our role-playing, and it is already five pages long.

Some time ago you added the pagination even at the top of forum pages, and it has been a great improvement for the navigation. Would it be possible to do the same thing for the private messages, if they exceed the length of one page?

Alternatively (or in addition), another solution could be open a private message directly to the last page. Both implementations would improve the user experience, because now we open the message at page 1 and we must scroll down the whole length to reach and click the Last button.

Thank you!

Nerys


Ah, yes, that's quite annoying behavior. I will take a look on that.



Artie, you have been (as usual) awesome and extremely efficient. Now private messages are perfect! Thank you!

Just a note: CGoal names and descriptions should remain in English for now. I will however add some loca support for them during the weekend. Thanks for updating the goal descriptions! (The existing Russian translation was not completely removed, just stored for the later use.)


SyraelI would appreciate to tag my stories with a specific language and also search for stories with a specific language tag.

Yep, I may add something there later, together with the filter.

If possible, would you please add a column to the rare commodities page that lists their current allocations? Thanks.

Added something. It's not exactly the allocation set but current supply at the station, but better than nothing.

I'm seeing star systems in ED galaxy map that are not found in INARA (e.g. WREDGUIA PE-T B3-1). Is this because the system is too far from Sol?

Inara is more focused on populated systems, otherwise the database would become too large. If you spot somewhere with a station or output far out in the black which is missing from Inara then let Artie know but I'm sure his systems should pick those things up (as long as you are running ED:MC).

This makes sense, thanks.

Also, I didn't know about ED:MC. I will look into that. Does it do more for me/us than Inara's auto update from Frontier servers?

It updates multiple sites in real-time (including Inara) using your journal logs. And it works even when FDev's server don't. I can't recommend it enough, great little tool that just sits in the background and feed all our favourite 3rd party tools.
