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.

RealzonderDoes inara count in THARGOID WAR REPORT items resque missions?

Yes, you need to perform the journal import via the Import Frontier data on your CMDR page though, Inara API updates are not sufficient (it's made that way so nobody can cheat with numbers).

Hi, maybe someone already asked this, but would be possible to have multiple squadrons joined per player on Inara? Different squadrons have often different fields of interest and activities, so it could be really a nice feature to support multiple groups, stay in touch with them and contribute in several ways.

I've seen this asked a number of times here, and the answer has always been that it would be problematic to implement, first and foremost because there are more than enough squadrons that don't take kindly to multiple memberships (there's always a risk of conflict in interest).

I'd recommend to create a duplicate account(s) to enlist in the other squadron(s), and you'll probably want to inform those groups about what you're doing

Yep, on top of that, the game doesn't allow multiple-squadron memberships either and it may bring problems or close the door completely for future implementation of some roster sync, etc. So, no, nothing like that is planned I am afraid.

The Odyssey expansion for Elite is going to be released today and so was also Inara updated for it. Alongside various improvements, there are new crafting components, items, ranks, personal equipment loadouts, crafting lists handling the new components exchanges, the journal import is handling new Odyssey stuff and so on.
There is however still a list of things and issues that needs to be resolved and there was not possible to handle that during the past Odyssey alpha stages (there was no known information about things like engineering, not all upgrades, weapons, etc. were present or there were things that may differ in the release version). Please see the list below for the details.

There is still a ton of work ahead and I will try my best to make the updates as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, enjoy the Odyssey!

Known problems and upcoming updates:
  • Rank images for the new ranks (like Exobiologist and Mercenary) are currently missing. I am trying to get an overview of all ranks from Frontier.
  • The list of items and data may not be complete and their sell prices are missing. Please share the sell prices here in the discussion, if you know them (from the Odyssey release version).
  • A list of personal equipment upgrades is heavily incomplete (including the parameters), as there were just a few upgrades present in the alpha and also not all weapons were there.
  • The personal equipment engineers and blueprints are missing. Those weren't present in the alpha, so it needs to be added ad hoc after the release.
  • Personal equipment loadouts are just in a basic form. There are currently no engineering data reflected (no engineering was available in the alpha to test it) and even the upgrades may be off (the upgrade value was not present in the journal during alpha, will be hopefully added in the journal release version).
  • Haggling and not accepting a mission from an NPC may lead to a mission still being added to the mission log. It's an issue with the journal reporting the mission as being accepted although is not. You can remove such missions from your mission log once expired.
  • Inara API may not be supporting some Odyssey-specific events yet but will be added soon. I want to be sure everything is working as intended on the live version first.
  • Journal auto-updates are temporarily disabled (for a day or two) until the situation with the game release stabilizes. You can however still perform the manual imports by clicking the Import Frontier data button on your CMDR page (once Frontier's companion API server will be back online).

Suggestion: Rename "Odyssey: alpha" thread to "Odyssey: beta".

Please define "messed up"?
Something appears that may be really odd, I will investigate and fix it ASAP.

I think he means that the formula has changed by the looks of it. I moved from 423rd to 2nd place.

I've found the problem. By the patch notes, there are new five ranks after Elite, so I've increased a cap. But, the journals are reporting the progress at the Elite as 100% (same as before) instead of 0%, which now technically means it's a rank "Elite I" (if the patch notes are correct). I will report that to Frontier and will make some workaround for it meanwhile.

One of my squadmates went from 2001 rank to 2nd

Yeah, pilot's rank adds a lot to the score. I will make the full rankings recalc shortly.
