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.

Quick question - When looking at Market prices I can see that they are in all different colours. What do those mean please?

Anadromous#1229A new thing that popped up for me after the last server update (the weekly at 7AM UTC one) is that all the engineers that I have not actually unlocked yet are showing with Grade 1 access. All the ones I have unlocked are levelled up to G5 (except Martuuk), and they are all displaying correctly. I have not even met the criteria to unlock Jameson, yet.

Wondering if this is related to the journal updating issue that was flagged with Frontier a while back.

I am having a similar issue. I have unlocked most Engineers and done upgrades with them, yet from the 22nd to yesterday, keep producing "Unlocked Grade 1 Access".

I would prefer that FDev spend time fixing the game rather than adding content.

Actually, that looks like a problem on my end, I made some changes recently because of rank value 0 with "Unlocked" state that started to appear in the journals so I made some changes for the Inara API as it was causing problem and I forgot to handle that also in the internal journal parser (so it was translating rank 0 to rank 1, which then made the engineer as "Unlocked" regardless the actual state). It should be fixed now, so your engineer ranks should be corrected after your next session start and its import. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I will prune the achievements logs later on (once all the ranks will be back as they should).

Blue = better than average price, yellow = one of the best prices available.

There is a bug in Elite where when playing in a wing in horizons you get spammed with promotion events on basically every kill; possibly related to having a post-elite combat rank.

Either way my achievements history tab from yesterday has 8 pages of combat rank promotions.

Any chance these could be ignored when updating? I don't expect FDev to fix this in a hurry.

Uh uh, thanks for reporting. As I see in your journal, there is really a ton of promotion events, going back and forth between Elite and Elite I. Yeah, I will do something with that for the achievements log and prune the excessive records there.

I'm curious about the "Residents" minor faction statistic.

It's interesting because, the statistic is called "Residents", not "Supporters", and yet you choose to display supporters, with residents only visible on mouse-hover.
Maybe you should rename it to "Supporters", if you are interested in displaying supporters. Or, revert it to showing residents, with supporters on mouseover.

(If I ask "How many residents live under USA government", would you tell me the number of Democratic Party supporters (current ruling faction) or would you just tell me the USA population?)

Just a thought.

Yeah, I didn't want to mix it with the existing term "supporters" (used for players supporting the given faction) and I also didn't want to mix the numbers with the term "population" in a meaning of a population in the entire star system. So I chose "residents" as a lesser evil, although not entirely correct.

I think I speak for the entire BGS community when I say, the more correct the statistics, the better...
But it's your website, of course.

This maybe just me being picky, but the there is an Odyssey firearm engineering called "Improved Hip Fire Accuracy". In your convenient blueprint etc. section you have it listed as "Higher Accuracy". Yes, the effect description specifies it only improves Hipfire accuracy, but, I think that using that generic "higher accuracy" may confuse people into thinking it is a general improvement to the firearms overall accuracy. If "Improved Hip Fire Accuracy" is too verbose for space/memory reasons perhaps 'Accurate Hipfire" might work?

Thanks for your consideration Artie o7

Is it? I had "Higher accuracy" on Odyssey release there, which was on par with the data Frontier kindly provided. Then somebody came it's actually "Improved hip fire accuracy", so I've changed it and then, later, somebody else came it's wrong and it's "Higher accuracy", so I've changed it back again.
I have a suspicion that actually both terms may be in the game and it's an inconsistence, displayed as "Higher accuracy" at one place and "Improved hip fire" at another, as far as I remember some screenshots. I will put a note it's about a hip fire accuracy there and leave it as is (as I have all the localized strings for that version). Thanks for the report.

From the company that gave you factions that always expand from your happiest system...

They have no idea how their own game works.

That was something they had planned, but never actually fully implemented. I don't think they said anywhere that it should now use the happiness system, always only that they wanted to change it to that (and never did)

Content Recap: Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream - Background Simulation and Scenarios

And I quote...

A faction in Expansion after a certain amount of time will attempt to expand from the happiest system that faction is present in. Therefore, you will be better able to coordinate your expansion efforts to ensure which system you want to expand from.

...the prosecution rests.

Hi Artie.

I've had a look through the docs but I can't see what I'm after.

Do you have or can I request an API to manage my squadron. Reading last active times, updating ranks, creating missions etc....

Thanks.
