Inara updates, bug reports, requests

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.

There goes the timed reminder tool - or not. [Little inside joke]


As for the feature request I had mentioned, I actually had a few ideas.

I have recently bought a fleet carrier, but I'm missing an option for "My Fleet Carrier" in the shortcut bar.
Also I tried using a workaround by using the direct link without the specific numbers (inara.cz/cmdr-fleetcarrier/), but it only brought me to the fleet page. (I believe that is not intentional)
Keeping on the fleet carrier topic: While there is the option to upload my own picture of it, it sadly only displays in small format on the fleet page. Instead there's an ever-same banner on the fleet carrier page. I would wish for more screen space to display my FC's might beauty!
I also found that bug where my overall assets plummeted after the purchase. Added to the report accordingly already!

Also cool for the shortcut bar would be some specific "Nearest" searches: like Mat Trader, Tech Broker, FC Administration. This list is not conclusive and may be extended, of course.

I do like the new "Nearest" page, with the quick searches on the side, which you said wasn't concluded either. Maybe you could even link those two.


Next point on my list was already mentioned earlier: grouping crafting lists per ship.
If you would want to take it a step further, you could even take the current ship loadout, compare it to the target loadout, and then auto-generate crafting lists per ship (which could be "disabled" crafting lists by default). Whenever the current loadout gets an update, the list could be adjusted to reflect an estimate on what is left to craft.
I find it a tedious task to add crafting lists for that manually everytime, checking if I have the resources, only to forget to remove the point from the list when I'm done with it, to end up wondering why it marks materials as "missing" and then searching which was the right one to delete.

The CG items are and will be indefinitely available for everybody at human tech brokers. The base material costs are given in the CG descriptions. The FSD can still be obtained at a discount for a little over one week.

Thanks for the clarification.

...

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will make a few improvements in a minor update this week (shortcut, FC page link without ID, carrier's illustration). The search shortcut will be rather a part of the general solution for the custom/stored searches than hooking that to the shortcuts. The crafting lists improvements mentioned are something on my radar for sure.

Please re-link your account, it seems your access token expired after a month, so a re-auth is needed (Frontier's requirement). Just click the import button and proceed as for the first time.

Hello All,

INARA Radio stations are simply amazing, is there a chance someday the GALNET include them in the game? Like, "GALNET - INARA RADIOS" or something like that?

It will be fantastic travel between star listening the radios. I'm trying that now, but the sound is not good due the conflict with the game's own sounds.

Not sure if something is bust at my end, but my flight logs are updating fine today whereas my CG contributions are still listed as "unknown"... (It worked fine on yesterday's CG.)

Hello, as Inara Radio widget serves just as a player for other radio stations, it's not so simple. You can try to ask Radio Sidewinder or Lave Radio guys about that.
But, also, there are multiple options in the game for the Galnet text to speech, so you can try to finetune it (for example, it won't be interrupted by ship voice alerts, etc.).

It's most likely a problem of the journal not having the proper community goal event there, which is quite common problem. In the worst case, it will be there (and also updated on Inara) at your next session start.

OK, thanks - will see how it goes over the next day or so.

Regarding this modified Frameshift Drive: It's an tech broker purchase, not an unlock. I just went to a tech broker thinking "ha, quickly unlock this for reduced costs to buy it whenever I may need it in the future" but to my surprise instead of having it listed as "unlocked" it got placed into the module storage at that station.
Now I have two of them, one from the CG and one wrongly purchased. Well, might aswell throw it into my python or asp.

When creating a document in squadron documents and adding a table, is there a way to edit the number of columns/rows after the table has been added?

Alright, the tech broker "unlocks" are up (with a few other minor improvements here and there).

Yes, but unfortunately just via the source text edit and not in wysiwyg mode at the moment.

Haven't had a chance to log in for a bit and I see the shortcut bar is across the top instead of along the left side as it was last time I was here. Is this a general format change? Or is it something I can put back to the more convenient way it was before?

Basically, is it something you did, or that I did without realizing it?

Maybe, depends on your screen/browser window resolution. If your screen/window width is 1440px, please try to force reload the page (Ctrl+F5), I made some adjustment to be sure. If the width is lower - yes, it's an expected behavior. If equal or higher - no, the menu should be at the left side, please check your page isn't zoomed in or something like that.

Thank you. Widening the browser was something I hadn't thought of. That fixed it.

Hi there, I'm playing on Xbox One, but I'm not able to import frontier data. It says "Download Failed". Any idea what this could be?

When I import data first time, I got the same message. But data got imported. Logout, login, maybe it works.
