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.

Thank you.

Hello, it works as intended. Please set your wing HQ visibility (in wing edit) to everyone and your faction will appear in the list. It's made that way for the case that any wing want to keep some privacy and do not want to have their faction to be listed. I will add some tooltip note to that option to make it more clear.

Hi Artie is it possible to have a messaging system in the wing options so we can send a general message to all wing members private message box ?

keep up the good work.

HI,

I created a Spreadsheet to calculate the Participation thresholds for Community goals. The principle works as has been shown with a few of the CG's ive worked on. However, it needs a proper home, rather than Google docs.

I'd really love to work with INara to have a CG Tab, which would show the curent CG's plus also allow CMDR's to enter thier data and see the crossover thresholds.  

In rpinciple it lets you see if you need to make that extra push to get into the TopX% ...

Heres the link to one previous... ( its not running the current CG's at thE moment as ive only just got back from Holiday).

Thoughts Please.

Thanks, fixed.

keep up the good work.

I am not very friend of mass spamming which then replaces a regular discussion thread, shouldn't be better to let them know via wing discussions in this case?

Excellent, thank you! I will update it ASAP.

ZaphonicusTaurogHI,

Hello, if I understand you right, you know the (more or less) exact formula which calculates the tier requirements distribution based on the total contributions, right? If do you tell me the formula, I would like to put it there for sure.

Hi artie i didnt imply mass spamming as there is a option for squadron and flight messaging , i just thought for wing messaging just for the wing commander and deputy wing commander . preventing the wild spamming but still get importand mesaging across.

Artie : Maybe this has been suggested before but a feature would be nice for engineers where one could "earmark" materials for blueprints. Say I have 50 sulphur and I want to roll 20x g1 efficient weapon rolls and 10x g2 ones. Total would be 30 sulphur. The available units left (20 in this case) could be shown beside or below "You have X units of Sulphur" as "You have X units of Sulphur unallocated". A "Crafting queue" (for lack of a better term) with roll count (that you can edit) could also be shown below each recipe where it now says "Can be crafted XXx". Also show this information where else applicable.

Hi, Not so much the formual. It works by CMDR's entering their data.. Tier level and contribution... then with enough data points i've worked out where boundaries exist as the CG progresses. eg CMDRA is Top10% at 1000000 Tonnes, CMDRB is Top 25% at 999,990 tonnes then the boundary exists somewhere between. It does work and happy to show you the spreadsheet if you want.

I'm sure with a prettier and easier entry page and results page I'd see more CMDR's using, and hence better results..

Does the flight log work for Xbox One? If so can someone help explain how so I can utilize it. Thanks

Ah, so rather something for a notify/alert. I have something on my ToDo list already.

Yes, I want to improve it that way, currently I am just unable to tell when it will be done. By the way, do you know also parameters of those interdictor upgrades? Are the same as we already have or different?

Well, if we presume that the game doesn't lie about percentages for each grade in the community goal (and I do not expect that there is a reason why it should be incorrect), the point is to determinate if the commanders qualification for specific goal grade is based on his effort and/or by the commanders distribution. For example, if the current goal state is 1000t of biowaste delivered total, in case it is based on the effort it means that threshold for grade C (top 50%) is after 500t delivered by the commander. But, if it is based on the commanders distribution and there is 100 commanders participating in total, it means that if 90 commanders delivered just 10t and 10 commanders more than 10t and you are delivering 11t of biowaste, you will end in grade A (top  90%).

So if the goal grade thresholds are based on the effort (tons delivered, for example), it is easy to calculate. But if it is based on the commanders distribution (and their effort), it's not possible to calculate it at all without knowledge how much each commander participating delivered. And even with data collecting tool it will be rather off as you need a really large amount of data across all grades all the time, as the commanders distribution constantly change during the goal lifetime. Does your data hinted something about it (how the goal grades are determined)?

Unfortunately, not. There is no way how to get the data needed from Xbox One game version.

Thanks for the info Artie... Is there a way we could possible get a Universal Carto tab that cmdrs could manually enter first discoveries with option to share. This might give Xbox One players an opportunity to get some competitive juices going also option to enjoy everyones hard work. It would be awesome to be able to upload photos to this tab as well to showcase unique shots. Input from other cmdrs or is this just me?
