H.U.D Manager · Plain-English version

What this is

H.U.D Manager is a fan-made companion for Star Citizen players. It helps you build ship loadouts, manage your fleet, plan missions, and learn about gear. The website and its tools are free; the desktop Overlay companion app is a paid product (see “What you’re paying for” below). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Cloud Imperium Games. All Star Citizen names, ships, locations, and lore are property of CIG.

What you're paying for (the Overlay app)

You're paying for the overlay — not the data. What you're buying is the mechanism: software that delivers information into your cockpit, live, without alt-tabbing. You are not paying for any game data.

Where the data comes from: everything shown is drawn from public community resources — UEX Corp, SC Trade Tools, Erkul.games, Fleetyards, and the Star Citizen Wiki among them — and we link to each of them directly inside the app so you can visit and get the data yourself, free of charge. We simply present it conveniently.

How it works with your game: the Overlay runs as a separate window over your screen. It does not inject code into Star Citizen, does not read or modify the game's memory or files, and does not automate or alter gameplay. It is not a cheat, hack, or exploit — it passively reads the log file Star Citizen writes to your own PC and displays your own information back to you.

Affiliation: not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Cloud Imperium Games. “Star Citizen” and “Squadron 42” and all related names, logos, and marks are trademarks of Cloud Imperium Rights LLC, used here only to identify the game this companion is compatible with.

Privacy — what we collect

Loadouts and fleet data you save are stored in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device unless you explicitly use the SYNC CODE feature.
Sync codes store your loadout/fleet JSON on Cloudflare KV, keyed by an 8-character code you generate. We never see who you are; the code is your only identifier.
AI requests (build generation, in-page chat) are sent to Cloudflare Workers AI. The request includes the prompt and your current page context. We don't log prompts — Cloudflare may retain transient logs per their policy.
Bug reports include your message and (if you opted in via the form) the current build snapshot. They're stored 90 days, then deleted. We use them to fix things.
No tracking pixels, no third-party ads, no analytics that follow you between sites.

Cookies / local storage

We use localStorage only — for saved loadouts, fleet, sync code, and UI preferences. No cookies. Clearing your browser data wipes everything.

AI use disclosure

This site uses AI. The AI Engineer ship-loadout recommender and AI Assist chat are powered by Cloudflare Workers AI (a Llama 3.x model). AI output can be wrong. Don't bet 10 million aUEC on a single AI build without checking it. If a recommendation looks off, report it via the ⚠ REPORT button — we tune the prompts based on real reports.

What you can do with the data we generate

Loadouts you save are yours. You can export them as JSON, share them via URL, or delete them. We claim no rights over your saved configurations.

Rate limits

AI Engineer: 20 builds per hour per IP.
AI Assist (chat): 60 messages per hour per IP.
Bug reports: 5 per hour per IP.
Hit a limit? The rule-based engine still works without limits.

Data sources & attribution

H.U.D Manager pulls ship, component, weapon, mission, and location data from several public community sources. Credit and thanks to:

starcitizen.tools — the community-maintained Star Citizen wiki. Ship specs, component layouts, and renders are sourced from there under CC-BY-SA 4.0. New ships often appear there first after a patch drop.
api.star-citizen.wiki — the machine-readable backend of sc-tools. Primary catalog scrape source.
fleetyards.com — cross-validation of ship stats and hardpoint inventories.
UEX Corp — in-game shop pricing, terminal locations, commodity prices, and refinery audit data. Community-maintained.
Roberts Space Industries — promotional ship renders (used for thumbnails / cards).
Star Citizen game files (Data.p4k) — parsed via the community unp4k + unforge.cli tools for armor deflection thresholds, hull HP, default loadouts. Star Citizen is © Cloud Imperium Games. We're not affiliated.

If you maintain any of these and want a stronger / different attribution, get in touch.

Liability

This is a free tool, provided as-is. If your in-game ship blows up because the AI Engineer suggested a bad component, that's on you and Star Citizen's RNG, not on us. No warranty.
