About

SC DataHub

Features
Read full description

SC DataHub is a fast, offline-ready reference for Star Citizen pilots. Look things up in a glance mid-flight instead of alt-tabbing out of the game. SHIPS Browse every flyable hull: cargo capacity, weapon hardpoints, turrets and missile racks, the stock power plant, shields, coolers and quantum drive, and where to buy or rent it and for how much. Filter by role, manufacturer or hardpoint size. MISSIONS & BLUEPRINTS Contracts filtered by type and faction, with rewards and reputation. Blueprints show what they make and what goes into them. MINING Type the signature from your scanner to identify what is in the rock before you fly over. Pick your ship and mining heads for a verdict on whether you can crack it and which gadgets to carry, then see which ores to hunt and where to find them. WEAPONS Ship guns and FPS weapons side by side: damage, DPS, fire rate, range, spread and more. Compare them head to head. TRADE Commodity prices swept daily from every terminal. Tell it which star system you are in and every margin is confined to runs you can fly without a jump. Data is cached on your device after the first load, so it keeps working offline. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. SC DataHub is an unofficial fan tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cloud Imperium Games. Star Citizen is a registered trademark of Cloud Imperium Rights LLC.
