FizzlefestAny chance of bringing the clock back? Really useful to see game time when I'm not logged in. Thanks!

ArtieYou are not able to see link for the settings or the page with the settings (via Commander > Settings)?

Probably my fault, that I didn't realize that COMMANDER > Settings is not the same as MY PROFILE > Settings (a bit misleading as it shares the nickname part).
You've been really quick with fixing. I have added one more about the squadron members ranks.

One more thing...
When the fleet carrier docking access is set to squadron and friends, the fleet carrier market should have been visible only to them as well. Now it is always visible to everyone (it is in both versions of Inara).

Please bring back the Set As Current Location button when viewing a system page. That was extremely useful to search stuff around any given system without having to copy/paste the system name.

Also please bring back the clock, very useful as well.

Last but not least, a petition long time due: for material trader search please add material type as an additional search filter.

Thanks! o7

GodthabHi Artie,

Just my 2 cents; it would be great if you could bring "squadron organization" feature back on the new Inara - so far I have no success to find it. :/

Thanks for your hard work!

YeOldeTravellerJust a note about the shortcuts.
I used those all the time. They worked quite well for me, so I saw no need to customize them. I guess just using them was not enough for them to be seen as valuable.

I'll deal, but like most updates that try to use the same UI for mobile and desktop, the navigation becomes longer for the desktop user. There are actions that used to take a single click in Google Mail that now require 4 or 5.

I get that mobile is 25% or more of the users, and they have difficulty with the old site (I'd call it current, but I cannot get back to that UI since I tried the new UI). However, catering to the mobile users is adding friction to the UI for desktop users. And the goal of any UI is to reduce that friction to the extent possible.

The old site would present more complete information in the Components by Type screen. Now, I have to think about what the actual limits are. I actually appreciate the more compact display, but this would benefit from the option to have more data displayed if the user wants it.

Any handling of the Engineers is going to be a compromise, and both the old and new presentation are quite useful. With the number and type that need to be handled, the new solution is a good one. Once I have unlocked an Engineer, it is less important to me how they relate to each other. This is a case where the multiple screen reduces the friction when one is working through the unlock path. The key for me is that all relevant information is presented on a single screen.

I'll deal as the information provided by this site is quite valuable, but this update doesn't improve my workflows, and in some cases, increases the effort.

• I felt immediately lost - this is somewhat understandable and often expected when using a "new" system, but in this case it felt more than that
• the personal shortcuts I rely on so heavily for fast site access were gone
• the new roll-over menu on PC, while tidily organised in concept, felt very busy, too wordy and hard to navigate quickly
• the show/hide menu feature felt distracting and got in the way lots, I kept popping it up by mistake and this was frustrating because it hides content
• having to open the menu and find the nav item I wanted felt so much slower than using existing static menus
• on mobile, it felt even harder to find things - having to tap the hamburger menu first felt a step backwards and was a real pain
• it consequently took me a long time to find the pages I needed
• the various sections/boxes on each page (eg Galaxy/News etc) were hard to distinguish and no longer stood out from each other with their new uniform visual styles (perhaps this is planned to change)
• this compounded the general feeling of "where is everything?"

Yep, the ship names were mixed-case originally in the journal, but then at some point Frontier changed that long time ago and are all upper-case.

Yuna SakashiroI noticed that new CMDR names are now all upper case, at least if you start the game in Odyssey.

A.CyprusHello Artie

First up: I 200% appreciate all your work and the huge gift you have given us with Inara and can safely say, as many others would agree, that playing Elite effectively without it would be almost impossible.
...
I hope this feedback does not offend, I understand the need for progress and updates to the site, and support your efforts.

Hello, the button will be back. The specific material trader type search noted, thanks for the feedback.

ArtieAh, it seems that I have slightly misunderstood the question - for the other fleet carriers' bartenders it's currently based on updates of their respective owners. For example The Profanity mentioned was updated quite a long time ago, so the listing may be wrong (it's always good to pay an attention to the update time). This may improve once the EDDN schema for the bartenders will be made and the respective tools feeding the network will send the data, so anybody will be able to update that same as the commodity markets. But until then, it's the way it is.
