🚀 StarLedger Update: Community Pricing System & DataRunners Wanted!
We are officially in the home stretch! The Community Price Submission System is slated for release this week. To make this a success and ensure our data is the most accurate in the ‘verse, we’re opening up two distinct ways for you to contribute. 📊 The Two-Tier Submission System We’ve designed two workflows to balance quick updates with massive data hauls: Per-Commodity Submissions: Perfect for the pilot on the go. If you're focused on a specific trade loop, you can quickly submit updated pricing for just the commodity you’re looking at—nothing more, nothing less. The "DataRunner" Model: For the professional explorers. This system allows for mass updates of entire terminals. Approved DataRunners simply submit full screenshots of terminal screens, which are then processed via StarLedger AI or a final manual approval step to update all prices for that location at once. 📡 Recruiting: The DataRunner Team We are officially accepting applications for our DataRunner team! If you want to help anchor the StarLedger economy, this is for you. Perks of being a DataRunner: Exclusive Access: Dedicated Text and Voice channels for team collaboration. Direct Line: Direct access to me and the moderation team for questions, feedback, and feature suggestions. Impact: Your contributions will be the backbone of our mass-update system. Between these two systems, we’ll be able to keep StarLedger prices live and reliable for everyone. Interested in becoming a DataRunner? Drop a message in questions or react to this post, and we’ll get the onboarding process started! 🛰️ Build Status: Final Testing / Deployment This Week
StarLedger | Development Changelog
Critical Fix: UEX API Data Inversion Issue Description: A community-identified translation bug between the UEX API and the UEX website resulted in the application receiving inverted market data. The API response was populating buy locations as sell locations and vice versa, creating a complete reversal of the commodity market flow within the app. Impact: Route Calculation: Trading logic was suggesting routes based on inverted data, leading to "profitable" routes that would actually result in a loss of aUEC. Price Accuracy: The procurement and selling price points were swapped, rendering the current ledger data inaccurate for real-time trading decisions. Changes Implemented: API Mapping Realignment: Updated the data ingestion layer to correctly map buy/sell fields to their respective properties in the StarLedger core logic. Source Validation: Implemented a verification step to ensure the API output aligns with the visual data presented on the UEX web interface to prevent future translation errors. Data Refresh: Forced a global cache clear to purge the inverted market data and replace it with corrected pricing. Status: Resolved. All trade routes and price listings within StarLedger are now accurately reflecting current UEX market values.
StarLedger Changelog: Technical Update
Update Type: Infrastructure & Performance Optimization Core Data Migration Transition to Local Storage: Shifted from external API dependency to a locally hosted JSON/SQL database for all ship and component specifications. Reasoning: Inconsistent field reliability across existing third-party APIs led to fragmented data. Maintenance Workflow: Implementation of a proprietary update pipeline to allow for rapid manual data entry and synchronization following RSI (Roberts Space Industries) official data releases. Performance & Optimization Card Generation Latency: Refactored the card creation engine to utilize local data indexing, significantly reducing the time between user request and image/text generation. Auto-Complete Responsiveness: Optimized the search algorithm for the "lookup" feature, providing near-instantaneous feedback during active keystrokes. Bug Fixes & UI Consistency Auto-Correct Normalization: Resolved a bug where search suggestions displayed inconsistent casing. Standardization: All auto-complete options are now defaulted to Uppercase presentation for improved readability and UI uniformity. Build Status: Stable
Ship Information Update!
The StarLedger bot has officially transitioned to an internal local database, now housing comprehensive data for all 249 Star Citizen vessel variants. By eliminating reliance on third-party tools and external APIs, the bot provides instantaneous access to real-time information, including deep-level details such as physicalized components. This infrastructure shift ensures maximum uptime and unparalleled accuracy for pilots managing their fleet specifications.
StarLedger Discord Bot Release!
StarLedger integrates real-time UEX market data with custom formulas for precision tracking of ship stock, pricing, and cargo. It empowers pilots to maximize hauls by calculating the most profitable routes based on ship capacity. Beyond logistics, users can now look up complete ship specifications and detailed component information to fully optimize their fleet and loadouts for any mission.
