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.

ArtieThanks for the details, I will double-check that. Yeah, Inara is not displaying the sell prices when there is no demand bracket (to make it more obvious at first glance), but should be used for the calculations otherwise. It seems that I may have mismatched for the buy price in somewhere (but as you mentioned, the difference should be small as they buy/sell prices doesn't differ much there).

Yeah, the differences are often tiny (or only one price will exist anyway) but when they are big it could get painful.
I just realised that I still had some of yesterday's trade data on my disk in the shape of the monster file that Trade Dangerous creates ("TradeDangerous.prices").
I checked the entry for Landis and at that point (probably a couple of hours before I used Inara) there was an even bigger difference, almost 8k.
(PS: it's Sunday, so no pressure to reply to this!)

I noticed that highlights of your ships and ranks no longer show up on the statistics page

So, thanks again for the feedback about the CMDR profiles - I have made some changes and improvements (which will be live tomorrow). The credits will stay (as it's quite useful to have it there) and for now also the achievements history (until something better will appear, also it may be useful to visitors). The ranks placement will be adjusted, the squadron rank+logo and Inara rankings will be back there as well.

The rank in the "license" on top of the page is decided by the highest rank (including progress), but I may re-introduce the option to set the type later on (I would like to make some general settings for the license as some things aren't exactly obvious like main ship settings, etc.). The option for hiding the CQC rank... well... probably not, as it's shown in the game as well. It was not very used and it was there as an annoying exception from the CQC early days.

Yeah, it was a mess with the more ships owned and half of the table "randomly" highlighted, so I removed it.

Thanks for the details. I have really identified an issue that may in some cases occur. The fix will be deployed in the middle of the next week.

This means I'll have to actually play CQC to not have a rank that's basically ... nothing? Damnit.

That would fit with about 99% of everything else in Elite...

Nice one, ta!

I regularly see "false" data points for influence in a given system's influence chart, where all influences get reported as 0%. Would it be possible to implement some block, so that such obviously not valid submissions don't make it into Inara's data pool?

Reason I'm asking is because whenever this happens, the graph for that system becomes much harder to read trends from (as it becomes a huge zig-zag line)

I second this. These artifacts tend to be removed once things get smoothed into the weekly, but it would be nice if they could be invalidated without being entered.

Do you have some star system(s) to check, please? I will make some query to clean it up later (and some additional checks for the influence sum on inserts), but I am curious about its origin and which app sent it first.

Here are two: https://inara.cz/starsystem/19214/ and https://inara.cz/starsystem/17701/

Thanks, I have identified the problem (it's caused by the retreating factions and the data collapsing over time, when the older records were added recently (and it fell outside the pruning time range)). I will fix that today.

Thank you very much for the quick fix, much appreciated!

SEARCH NEAREST... is missing the faction state "None" which makes it impossible to search for systems that do not have a current state: Leaving the checkboxes empty searches for all states.

Quick question: we can no longer hide CQC rank, as we used to? Not that this rank was ever relevant at all given how poor connectivity and match-making is on Arena (you are basically booted out from the main game when there's just ONE player waiting, instead of full crew).
