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.

Hey Artie, letters like Ää Öö Åå don't get turned into - in Wing chatter. Since I'm from the nordics, these letters get used a lot. Just a headsup.

Now, would it be possible to add a link to a favorite blueprint? I'm I'm looking at my current cargo, I can see the list of my favorite blueprints on the right. It seems it would be useful if you could click on a blueprint name and be taken to that blueprint's page. The reason being I sometimes want to see the other blueprints, change my favorites, etc. Right now, I have to click on Galaxy -> Engineers -> Blueprints -> the actual blueprint.


Link added.


Wow! Thanks, Artie!

So FYI there is a new community goal at Jaques Station. They need more goods from the main bubble for a new outpost.

Is it in the Discord chat directly? I am afraid I can do nothing about it, it's completely out of my control. Or is it somewhere on Inara (like the names listing)?

Feel free to add it here as the new community goal, if it is still missing in the list.

Can I ask where I should find notice that in subscribed author logbook was made new entry? ... just found by coincidence that in one are 3 new entries and I see no info about it . Or are only subscribed logs on news page without further "warning"? (please if no notice exist, can be it added?)

It's something I want to improve in the future for sure, but for now please use this page (you can also put it into your shortcuts)

Oh, no. This is when you're vieweing some Wing's discussions and it turns all letters into "-"-characters.

Ah, my apologies, I am blind and I completely misunderstood what you wrote. I will fix that.

Americans know words too
The wrong ones
Becci - Today at 1:50 AM

M. Lehman - Today at 1:50 AM
Good
lordpsymon - Today at 1:50 AM
They teach it here too
People are just stupid.
M. Lehman - Today at 1:51 AM
They ought to do that here instead of "well, you tried, so you're an extra special winner anyway!!!"(edited)
lordpsymon - Today at 1:51 AM
Extra special F for fuck off and do it again
M. Lehman - Today at 1:51 AM
Right?

lordpsymon - Today at 1:52 AM
Oooh Lemon, you saw how Snowflake the Penguin who is now Snowflake the Someone else claims to have all those things in his Eagle right?
M. Lehman - Today at 1:53 AM
I did
I beheld his TardisEagle (thanks, Marra) with never-before plumbed depths of contempt(edited)
lordpsymon - Today at 1:54 AM
"It has two bedrooms, a bathroom with actual hot water, ..., and a study, with all the books, novels, and research papers that I could ever require. "
Because you could totally fit all that in an Eagle...
M. Lehman - Today at 1:55 AM
Yeah
I feel like a PM would just be a waste though
He clearly has no interest in reality
Becci - Today at 1:56 AM
all the books, novels and research papers you require probably fit on a standard flash drive in 3302
M. Lehman - Today at 1:56 AM
^^^^^
And hot water should be the easiest thing in the world in 3302
It's the  piano room that does it for me
That's a new one
lordpsymon - Today at 1:57 AM
and that would be his what... fourth attempt at joining Black Omega?
CMDR nxtman - Today at 1:57 AM

Mmk
lordpsymon - Today at 1:58 AM
He's had Travis, something else, Snowflake the Penguin and now Tardis Eagle

I think he's tried for each account he's had
M. Lehman - Today at 2:00 AM
Yeah
Though he dropped a passive-aggressive int at the Inara bar not too long ago
Becci - Today at 2:01 AM

M. Lehman - Today at 2:01 AM
Penguin Snowflake

"I noticed a few of the same guys in here.. Hopefully nothing would spark between them."

M. Lehman - Today at 2:03 AM
"You will die alone and unloved."(edited)
lordpsymon - Today at 2:03 AM
"Datura looked up at what's-he-called and furrowed his brow. 'That guy looks awfully familiar...' he said."
and also that
M. Lehman - Today at 2:03 AM
Heh
That would be awesome(edited)
"Yeah, fucker- we know it's you."
lordpsymon - Today at 2:05 AM
Lol. Alright. I'll do it.
"Fiona responded. 'Yeah, he looks a bit like that guy who was wearing the hooded robe' "
M. Lehman - Today at 2:07 AM
No no
lordpsymon - Today at 2:07 AM
a not-so-subtle "Yeah, fucker- we know it's you."
M. Lehman - Today at 2:08 AM
More subtle
Fiona: "I don't like him. He's got a real changeable look about him."
lordpsymon - Today at 2:08 AM
Ooooh, you're good.
M. Lehman - Today at 2:09 AM
Hmmmm
Yeah
Fiona: "Who's that?"

Simon: "Over there, at the bar? No idea. Haven't seen him around before."

Fiona: "Something about him seems off. He's got a real changeable look about him."

Simon: "Come to think of it, something does seem off. Like... new face, familiar presence. Does that make any sense?"

Fiona: "More than I care to admit!"
lordpsymon - Today at 2:13 AM
Heh yes!

lordpsymon - Today at 2:16 AM
I nice and subtle "Yeah, fucker- we know who you are"
M. Lehman - Today at 2:16 AM
Yesh


This will be made publicly as well. Word for word. I don't care how you handle it, but unless taken care of, I will not be using your site anymore due to this constant harasment. Oh all things to crawl under my skin regarding the game, I cannot believe that it is the fellow players.


Or- if this lovely
Little scrap gets removed, then I will formally write out a report regarding every player that has degraded me personally in any way shape or form and directly sending via letter email and report to Frontier.

Well, as you decided to put this to public, so I will also publicly answer. I was solving this in the past and here we go again. I consider myself a very patient guy which is trying to help anytime it is possible, but if there is some thing I really don't like, that thing is ultimatum. So I will keep things straight, without any diplomatic formulations, exactly in the tone the ultimatum was served.

1. What I see in that Discord history log quoted is not so polite and nice as it should be, but if I should rate it by the "severity" level, it will end somewhere on the level "kindergarten gossips".
2. You apparently saw this and you did nothing to explain what you wrote in your logbook what was criticized and your standing. If there should be any dialog about it and any solution, there must be a will to talk. Apparently, there was none.
3. This is my site and my rules, enforced by the mighty Hammer of the Dictatorship. You can write to Frontier if do you like and I am sure they will gladly help you with anything related to the game, forums, etc., but I don't think they will consider this as any serious break of their rules even when this whole thing was written on their official channels/forums/etc. Which was not.

In other words - do you (and I mean both sides here) want a solution? Take a cup of tea, biscuits and talk together about it like intelligent mature people. I am sure the mutual acceptable solution can be found.  ;)

Enjoy your tea. The unruly fat american drunk over here will go cry in a corner now.

Hey Artie,
Would it be possible to add Nearby Player Factions-box somewhere when browsing a star system and / or a station?
I can't speak for others, but knowing if there are any headquarters nearby would be very useful for me personally.

Hipster CutthroatHey Artie,
Would it be possible to add Nearby Player Factions-box somewhere when browsing a star system and / or a station?
I can't speak for others, but knowing if there are any headquarters nearby would be very useful for me personally.

The player factions near the current location are already listed here, as you probably noticed. Technically it is very easy to place it also to star systems page, it is matter of few seconds to do appropriate changes, I am just not sure if I want to do it with respect to possible performance impact. Any "nearest [something] to [starsystem]" function isn't very cheap even when using a relatively limited/clamped range so I am placing it just where it is necessary. As I am expecting star system pages may be even more visited in the future (I am planning to add planetary/material information here), for now I will say that nearest player faction box won't be there anytime soon (but, may be eventually added later with some additional caching, when it becomes very cheap).

not a real big deal but, for those of us who have an xbox and PC account , a choice to choose both. ( I use the same name on both). THank you

Why is it that every time I search for something the website is defaulting to the system "V1688 Aquilae"?
