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.

Two things which don't really require a response, just throwing them out there.

One is extremely minor, the box where you drag and drop flight logs. If it could be a tiny bit larger, vertically, or maybe be adjustable, or maybe just have a file/path dialog. Again, no big, but when dragging and dropping a day or two worth of flightlog files a tend to get a few outside the rectangle, which results in it just opening the log file in my browser. The relative size on my end is likely at least somewhat browser/browser settings dependent, just as the size of the icon being dragged is OS/OS settings dependent. Could easily be fixed with just altering my behavior, but even being wary of it beforehand I still tend to do it a few times. As I said though, no biggie.

Second, and I know this had been brought up before but I figured I'd add a +1 to the people wanting it. Multiple wings. I'm in more than one group. I play for more than one faction. Which one depends on where I am in game, who is online, etc. I'm pledged Zachary Hudson, so I do some PP stuff now and then. I'm also in Mobius, so I do some stuff for that faction. As well as doing some stuff for The Fuel Rats and their faction. I saw the last time it was mentioned the response was something about focus/priority/one main faction, and I get that. But at the same time, neither of those last two groups I'm in would have any bearing on me being in or doing work for another, nor would there be any conflict of interest. Not to mention time zones, me having a somewhat irregular schedule (which I'm sure I'm not alone in, even if we are the minority) means some times there aren't many people in some of those groups online. That's when playing with another one is most helpful.

I don't think being able to join an unlimited number of factions makes any sense. But even just being able to have a primary, and secondary (and in a perfect world also a tertiary) faction would be extremely helpful. I also think labeling them that, in terms of priority would make sense. As it stands now, to be able to complete wing business for more than one group I'd have to quit and rejoin multiple times a day, which just isn't on. So I end up asking around using sources other than Inara to do what I could do here if I could just access more than one Wing's board at a time.

Again, with no actual idea how much work/effort this would require on your part, I'll stick to just pointing out that this would make Inara that much more useful to me. And I like the idea of doing as much as I can on here, and having to go somewhere else for X as little as possible.

Your faction is still in place and everything seems alright, if do you mean the same faction as me.... But as I see now, you fixed the values you mentioned. The previous values were set by your past member Kim-Shu, I expect as it was your member, you will solve it on your own. But if this situation will happen again, I will solve it using some of my dictatorship tools and it will be not so pleasant outcome for the saboteur.
Player faction not listed in the overall list is caused by the "hidden HQ" privacy set in your wing settings. It will also hide wing link in the minor faction details.

Thank you for comments. I will increase the box size, but there should be possible to open regular dialog window on click, too.

As I mentioned earlier, no multiple wing membership will happen. Not just for a principle, but also to avoid unnecessary complexity and (future) problems. It will just add lot of work and complications with disputable benefits. But I understand the need behind it. In fact, I have two brief ideas how to support "community service groups" like Fuel Rats and similar. One possible solution is to allow wing supporters, which won't be regular wing members, but will have some basic access to its stuff and other solution is to create very stripped "shadow/service" wings or "common groups" based on the similar principle. But, it is just a very sketchy idea for now.

New game update - Engineers is going live today, so there are related (and also unrelated) updates for Inara:
  • New feature: Engineers and components lists in the Galaxy tab. Please be aware there may be some incomplete or slightly inaccurate stuff as data is based on the game beta version and things may change. But let's hope it will be precised in the upcoming days and weeks. Also, there is blueprints list planned and will be added later, when enough data collected for it. I must also express thanks to Qohen Leth, Alex Brentnall and many other community members for providing initial data from the beta.
  • New feature: Commodities, rare goods and salvage lists in the Galaxy tab. It's mostly what was/is buried deeper in the Market, but with minor enhancements and lot of new commodities added.
  • New feature: Wing roles. Wing officers can now assign roles to their members which gives them some additional rights, unrelated to their rank. Hopefully it will help with day-to-day wing "administrative".
  • Minor improvements across the site as usual, implemented new format for flight logs (the old format was also kept, I hope it will work without any issues), Search improvements and few new radio stations added (you can also hear tracks by Matthew Florianz (FDev) on Black Rock station, sometimes), and so on...
Enjoy the Engineers!

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but the pricing for rare commodities tops out too low.
I've been running Soontill Relics to Chacobog (>370LY) and getting a profit of over 22k / ton.

What's the nominal supply of those? Inara seems to lack that data.
