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.

ArtieUnfortunately, it's not possible - I know in which star system and (sometimes) in what distance from the main star the fleet carrier is, but no further details like which body it's orbiting and such. The only option that comes to my mind is to assume that similar distances may hint the fleet carrier's closeness to the station (in a similar distance), but no idea how much reliable that can be. I may take a look at that and explore this option, but no promises.


The metric you want for loading a carrier fast isn't actually distance but travel time - for example for stations gas giants you might want to park around a moon rather than in the deep gravity well of the gas giant. Similarly parking around the same body as the station but on the opposite side isn't going to be that fast and usually results in having to reposition the carrier to get it to work.

It'd be possible to figure out a "fastest travel time from carrier to station" from the journal and assume anything below a certain value is next to a station or equivalent. Not sure if it's worth the extra parsing/code needed esp since it's something that's only valid for a short amount of time (due to carriers jumping and orbiting at a different speed than the station).

So, how often does the trade route information update? Is it manually updated by players visiting the stations in the route? Or is it some sort of bot system?

The market prices for the individual stations are updated by players (via tools like EDMC, EDDiscovery, etc.). The trade routes listings are real-time otherwise (there may be just a couple of minutes delay for the best market routes to appear after an update due to the caching, but if the route is not valid anymore, it will disappear immediately and cache has no effect).

Bi Dhorora is in a Thargoid Invasion State In Game yet Inara says it's in Recovery. Something may be wrong with the API Key and Logging.

Same issue as above for Gliese 9035

Thank you for the reports, both were fixed.

I am trying to make a overview of factions by controlled systems (not the "supporting" amount on Inara).

Nether EDDB or Inara or any other third party tool I know displays this calculation in a table.

Using EEDB I could just combine every system for every faction (No way I am gonna do that).

Inara is more useful, because it does calculate controlled system pop. Unfortunately I can not copy the text on this window...



Is there a way to get those numbers? Or at least show the window long enough so I can copy them somewhere else?

Thanks for any answer

Not really, since it does not list the controlled star system population that I asked about.

I am trying to come up with a list of factions by raw population of systems controlled, not the numbers divided by influence.

Since Inara does have these numbers (see screenshot), I would like to ctrl+c those.

If you have some coding skills you can take the raw data from eddb.io api and generate all sorts of reports.

If you don't have the skills then provide me with a list of say a dozen Factions and I can generate some stats for you to show you it's do-able.

There used to be a Galactic Census website, but it's sadly no longer running.

I cant add a non-Odyssey surface installation (undockable) to the database. Its at Col 285 Sector XP-O d6-95 system, at body 6 A. Called "Cixin Horizons". EDDiscovery linked.

Hi Artie,

quick reminder to an older question: is it possible to include system allegiance and/or factions as a n option in the commodity search? That would make it way easier to look for specific systems with regards to Powerplay/BGS.

Can someone tell me where the Manual Update button is, Most of my info is missing.

Just click on the "Commander" tab text, and on the next page there is a lightblue (or red if its inactive) "Import Game Data" option on the right side of the screen.

Is there a better way to find info about FC vendors? Saw that you can finally search for stations, but still no info about any FC at all. Just where a bunch is located. I would like a little more details to maybe purchase one later on.
