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.

HuboI found a small visual bug. On the squadron join request page, the player's "Verified" badge is missing the blue background.
I have some QoL feature requests.

It will be nice to be able to add equipment to the crafting list by clicking on some button next to the commander's equipment.

Crafting grade should be a dropdown list (1-5) instead of edit field.


Thanks, I will fix that. I may take a look on the equipment together with the shipmodules-to-craftinglist. The edit fields are here by purpose, as often you may not want to upgrade from 1 to 5, but for example from 3 to 5, because you bought the gear from the vendor. And also, you may not always want to upgrade to 5 at given moment, for various reasons, thus it's kept flexible.

I understand that, but you misunderstood me. I mean, that there should not be 2 edit fields, but 2 dropdown lists, so we don't have to enter the number (1-5). We will just select the numbers from the dropdown list. I think it will be a small improvement.

I've found a thing in the new layout that could be quite of a drawback for readers and writers. Old layout has 'latest 5' tiles with author portraits on the top, and 15 compact links below. New one can 'boast' only 8 'big' tiles on the main page. 8 vs. 20. It means, give it a day or two, and your entry is gone and nobody except your regular readers will get to know about it. And also I think it can encourage people to write frequently, but in lower quality.

Small suggestion:
Link fleet carrier name & registration to "station" profile when details have been hidden by the owner to make it easier to obtain public information about the carrier. (CMDR's profile page)

Would it be possible to have an option to keep the "advanced options" visible all the time in the commodities search? I access and tweak those options constantly when searching and it closes each time I update a search.

Hello was wondering what is required for "items and civilians rescued" for the Samaritan badge. Do occupied escape pods count? do i have to turn them in?

Look for damaged stations and collected floating goodies inside the station, and do bulk passenger missions. Then complete missions in the rescue ship which requires the items you picked up in the burning station.

I use a cargo Cutter with collector limpet controllers, lots of economy cabins, and some cargo containers.

Would like to suggest allowing scroll on mobile when in station market view.

Right now in vertical mobile I can't see supply as it is the last tab, and can't scroll as the other columns are fixed size. I have to force desktop site to see it.

So this is completely not doable outside of some sort of CG which creates a damaged station

That is how i have been doing it but its just so boring moving passengers all the time. And got to wait for a limited time event from FDEV to do it as well...

Does the Current attacked system have passengers to save? in HIP 22460? Did not hear anything about it.

Thargoid attacks aren't limited to CG events, they ebb and flow but there is usually an active one going on somewhere. If the station is damaged there will be rescue missions to be had.

I see, updated, thanks for the suggestion.

Exactly
I also been thinking about something like "mission bubbles" where there are only few populated systems within a certain distance that guarantee that you will be getting mission to only those and between them.

I may do some search for that under "Misc", but no promises...

Currently, the front page is covering last 2-3 days, which seems alright to me as it's supposed to be dynamic (and the rest is the in Logbooks section). Also, I want to keep the chronological order as it's less confusing. But I understand your point, I will think about some possible improvements, highlighting longer texts more or so...

Apoc_vWould it be possible to have an option to keep the "advanced options" visible all the time in the commodities search? I access and tweak those options constantly when searching and it closes each time I update a search.

The detailed options are supposed to be those not changed frequently, thus they do not clutter the form, but some adjustments may be possible. Which parameters are you tweaking frequently and why, please?

KilladarkHello was wondering what is required for "items and civilians rescued" for the Samaritan badge. Do occupied escape pods count? do i have to turn them in?

Yeah, currently it's mostly about the burning station rescues. There is a stat with refugees in the in-game stats that I would like to use for the medal, but unfortunately it's not exposed in the journal. I have poked Frontier about it, so let's see...

Hmm.. you should be able to see all the column details by clicking the '+' button on the row left side? Unless you mean something else, in that case please send me a screenshot, so I will get the better idea where the problem may be.

In the galleries, I think (but am not sure) the old Inara would remember what folder you last used to upload your pictures from. If so, that would be handy.

It was not a thing - I want to force people to think about the category they put their image in and not mindlessly use whatever they set last.
