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.

Hi Artie,
I am in a system which is in alert state so it has missions for goids but it is not that easy to find them there since there is no AX conflict zones. But there are a few systems around which are in goids occupied states but they have AX zones. So it is easier to fly to those systems and fight goids there than in the system which provides the missions. Thus it would be more convenient to have a search which finds the nearest systems with AX zones than to look for them manually.

Aha, thanks for the clarification. As I am already collecting nav beacons, there is not a much big problem to track also the AX zones as it's the same mechanics (it just assumes somebody flew through such star system first). I will take a look at that.

It doesn't always trigger, and when it does, well, sometimes the entry isn't quite as it should be:
From what I can tell, it used to be better, a long time ago.

Yeah, it looks like there is some cleaning missing, although it technically works. Well, I will add it onto my todo list, but no promises (and not a priority at the moment).

Bear McPikeHey Artie,

My fleet carrier info continues to perplex...

If you recall, you had me do the Commander > Import Data to get the additional services rendered by my FC which seemed to work however,

Inara now shows my FC in two systems; Caerus and Yen Ti ...

It looks like a case of FC marketID, etc. changing with fuzzy information provided from the various sources, so the FC is there twice with different parameters. I truly hate the game's FC marketID and name re-using (although it's made for a good reason).
There is some auto-cleanup for such cases kicking in over time, but I will delete the excessive FC manually in a few minutes, that should resolve it (you may just need to import the data afterwards again, in case your FC is outdated).

CWolfXUKIdea for the Starfield section...
Add a forum to share ship builds, photos thread with maybe some ideas for what's in them.

Let's see, I may split the thread later on, if such activity will get popular.

SpandanThe latest and trending section of the gallery in inara are showing the same images. Probably a bug

Not a bug, just a little bit confusing - the trending section is based on the most popular images within a certain time period, but as there aren't many votes on them yet, it may provide same or very similar results as the latest images listing. I suppose it will "resolve" itself over time.

So this is kind of annoying me, but right now, when I try to make a log entry and put the forward or backward arrow in(the ones used to indicate smaller or greater than), they are converted to < and > respectively once the post is saved.

Is that intentional or not? Is not reflected when using the 'View source' function. So when I put < and > in, they look like arrows in the preview... but instead become the above &lt; and &gt; in a logbook. They also retain that format when editing after saving. (Apparently this isn't an issue for forum posts, looking at this one.)

Thanks for the report, fixed. I was refactoring the whole logbook classes two weeks ago and used an incorrect (too strict) sanitizing for the main text by accident.

Appreciated, thanks.

I'm having an issue with the import. I have a market order open on my FC in LHS 1541 however whenever I import data it sets my location as Mainani making it hard to get my FC to show up on the market nearby LHS 1541 trying to buy tritium.

This is what I get on an import

Hello, please try again, it should work now (it was again a case of duplicate FCs, similar to the case discussed here earlier).

Still shows Mainani after trying again. Is there any way I can force it to change?

Might have changed.

Hmmm, it should require both?

Seems alright to me, maybe just some temporal hiccup.

SnarkerTetrian - Nicola Station / Thanatos Minor: dont have Interstellar Factors

Thanks, looks like it may be just an issue with some of the faction's state or so (removing the service temporarily), because the IF is reported there by the journal. Quite an annoying problem.

Hello Artie,

would it be possible to change the Trade Route Search so the "source" can also be a System instead of just a Station?
Right now we can only enter/select a specific Station within a System which makes trying to find Trade opportunities for *any* station in the system (in my case right now to fight/counter BUST state) more complicated than I think it needs to be

As an extension of this idea, a Trade Imports/Exports tab added to the System page itself would be a very nice bonus

Keep up the amazing work o7

Starfield: I am looking for organic materials. Their pages here in Inara say they are available to buy at different vendors - but I want to see the locations and flora/fauna where I can harvest them.

I think we have to report those locations so Artie can edit the pages - am I correct?

And how and where do we report such info?

Just for the record: Beta Andraste I-a have two animals (fauna):

Hello, I am afraid it's unlikely - even current one-to-many trade routes search is pretty expensive and many-to-many will make it even worse, especially from star systems with a lot of stations. But you can try to utilize the best routes search for that - set a reference system you are in and let it order by distance. If there is some good trade route above 7.500 Cr profit, it should appear there.

Thanks! By a brief check I made earlier it seems that I may be able to get it from the game data, so manual gathering probably won't be needed. It has various complications, but it seems it should be possible even with the current limited knowledge about the game's data format. I would like to take a look at that in the next days, so let's see...
