Actions to take
Open your company dashboard. Complete character conversion first. New companies see their saved starting setup step: choose support, commit starting pilots, choose starting units, then review GM approval. Merchant, contract and mission tasks appear after starting setup is complete. Starting equipment uses its separate allowance, not merchant purchases; returning to setup never grants funds again. Conversion stays in Get your company ready until every selected living pilot finishes.
Switch between Actions to take, Finances, Units, Pilots and statuses, and Hall of Honor without reloading the page. The dashboard shows loading or error status beside the tabs; select a tab again to retry a failed load. Tabs also work as ordinary links without JavaScript.
Finances and remaining units
Finances shows maintenance at the accepted operating scale, current contract base pay and the estimated first negative monthly balance. A smaller mission roster does not reduce maintenance. The forecast ends base pay with the current contract term and excludes purchases, repairs, travel, mission rewards, salvage and bonuses; it does not declare bankruptcy.
Truly destroyed units are omitted from the active dashboard and equipment register. Open Archived irreparable losses from Units to review retained records and history. Repairable units remain visible.
Pilots and statuses shows skills, health, named or reserve status and remaining conversion SP. Open Manage pilots and crew for changes.
Readiness and Hall of Honor
Actions to take shows Warchest, non-destroyed unit BV, deployable BV, selected unit BV, current operating scale and living uninjured/injured pilot and crew counts. Both Destroyed and Truly destroyed units are excluded from BV totals. Deployable BV requires a living assigned pilot or crew of the correct category; track budgets and contract roster restrictions are checked separately. Injuries remain visible and do not independently subtract BV. Selected unit BV excludes extra support value.
Pilots and statuses lists living personnel. Hall of Honor remembers personnel with saved Dead status, showing their service category and existing notes. Original records and history remain intact; no death date or circumstances are inferred.
Legacy unit roles and render links
After uploading release 276, a site administrator runs Admin → Database updates. Verification links legacy model-only designations and trailing quoted nicknames to unique same-type exact catalog variants. Saved names, nicknames, BV, prices, assignments and history remain unchanged. Ambiguous or unknown variants remain for GM review.
Saved catalog links supply exact roles and render lookup names. Changing the designation or type clears the prior catalog link and its derived role; use exact variant suggestions and review before saving.
Equipment Edit record now opens its form correctly. Model status shows saved physical allocations and preparation needs. Review archived losses shows prior losses; destroyed units automatically release their physical models. Players do not need to assign models after acquisition.
Select an uploaded custom design
In Equipment → Edit record, type part of the uploaded name or model. Campaign custom design suggestions are listed before published variants, with reviewed or needs-review value labels. Select the upload rather than its stock counterpart; available values fill the unsaved form. Missing values still require review.
Saving stores the uploaded design identity after campaign, name and unit-type checks. Custom previews use that upload and its own role when supplied; no stock role is assumed. Keep the selected designation unchanged until saving, or select the upload again. Uploading by itself does not convert equipment or charge SP. Use Mek conversion for paid design conversions.
