  • New: Sync online (signed in, under Live log and in Settings → Online account). It keeps
    sc-toolbox.com up to date, and sc-toolbox.com is where everything is kept:

    • Stats and blueprints: at start, every LIVE and HOTFIX game session the website doesn't have
      yet (or has an older copy of) goes up, as a summary (counts, finished missions, blueprints
      received; never log lines). While you play, the current session follows: within seconds of a
      new blueprint, otherwise every few minutes and when the game closes. Sending a session again
      replaces it, so nothing is ever counted twice, and nothing online is removed when this PC has
      fewer logs (after a reinstall, or when the game deleted old ones).
    • Blueprints you have (Mission Database, overlay) now also count your online collection: ones
      received before a reinstall, and ones you marked owned on the website.
    • My Ships syncs both ways. Edit it in the launcher or on the website; per ship the newer edit
      wins. The first sync pairs ships both sides already have, one for one (two Cutters here and one
      online make two, not three), and after a reinstall your hangar comes back from the website. Each
      account has its own list; signed out, the launcher keeps a local one.
    • Sync needs the live log: turning it on turns the live log on, turning the live log off stops
      sync. It needs permissions older sign-ins don't have: Sign in again under the switch.
    • HOTFIX counts as the same game universe as LIVE for blueprints (another build of LIVE).
    • This PC's game stats belong to one player: the first account that syncs them. Signed in with
      another account, sync keeps that account's own My Ships but doesn't send it your game stats;
      Settings → Online account can hand them over (for example to a new account of yours).
  • Online account in the title bar: Sign in is a quiet button with a person icon; while it
    waits for your browser it says Signing in… · Cancel. Signed in, your avatar and name open your
    profile on sc-toolbox.com, and the ▾ next to them has Sync online, Account settings, Switch
    account
    and Sign out. When sc-toolbox.com can't be reached, the avatar dims and says offline.

  • A new look, the same on every tool. Every tool now has the same layout: a header with what it's
    for and where its data comes from, one filter bar, a result line with the count and your active
    filters (click ✕ on one to remove it, or Clear filters), then the results. Explanations that used
    to fill the screen are behind How to read this. The colours now mean the same thing everywhere,
    and on the website: amber is the one main button, steel blue is what you've selected, green is the
    best value or something you have. The text is now Inter, bundled with the app, and numbers line
    up in columns.

  • A tool rail on the left replaces Back. Every tool, the launch screen and Settings are one click
    away from anywhere, and a light at its bottom shows the game's state: Ready, Launcher (the
    RSI Launcher is open) or In game. It follows the running programs, also when you started the game
    without SC-Toolbox or before it, and START says so instead of trying to launch a second copy; signed in, the title bar shows your avatar and name; the window no longer resizes when you switch. Tool pages dim the wallpaper so
    tables are easier to read.

  • Salvage Claims: one table with a single header row; the best net value is green, and a bar
    shows each ship's value split into components and cargo, so they can be compared at a glance.

  • Mining Finder: places are sorted by the best chance of finding the ores you picked, with that
    chance on each card. The ore you picked stands out and the other rocks fade back; the single-rock
    radar signature (RS) is bold. The resource list shows each ore's rarity and how many places have it.

  • New: Mission Database (the Missions tool). Every mission in the game files: search by name,
    contractor or the blueprints it rewards; filter by system, type and contractor, and under More
    filters
    by legal or illegal, events, rewards (blueprints, fixed pay, items) and the work (ship
    or on-foot combat, cargo, repeatable, not part of a chain); sort by most rep, most blueprints,
    quickest, easiest and more. Click a mission for its details: description, rank, rewards, cargo,
    time, difficulty, stages and the blueprints it can give. Blueprints you don't have is worked out
    from your own game logs, without signing in. Event missions are hidden until you pick the event,
    as on the website.

  • The launch screen shows each tool with one line on what it's for and a live line (how many
    missions and locations the game has, your ship count, saved binding profiles…), plus a Last
    session
    card: time played, missions done, blueprints and deaths. The link buttons are now a
    compact group, and sc-toolbox.com has its own tile for the Blueprint and Ship databases.

  • Links between tools: from a mission's details, Find this ore in the Mining Finder; from the
    Mining Finder, Missions with this ore; from a salvage claim ship, its page in the online Ship
    Database. Every tool's header links to its website version.

  • Overlay, easier at a glance: the tools are labelled under their icons, with their key (1–5
    while the overlay has the keyboard). A line under the bar always shows whether click-through is on
    and names whatever the pointer is on, so nothing needs a tooltip. Opacity now fades only the
    background, never the text. Opacity, Hide and Settings moved into a ⋯ menu inside the overlay.
    New: minimise the overlay to one line with your current objective (it wraps rather than
    widening the overlay), how long you've been on it, and where you are. Mission cards show the current objective first, larger; blueprints received this
    session show which mission they came from.

  • My Ships, Maps, Joystick Bindings, Settings and What's new have the same header and filter
    bar as the other tools. Settings has a short list of its sections on the left. My Ships shows fleet totals (pledged, in game, in concept, cargo) and your
    filters as removable chips. Joystick Bindings asks before leaving with unsaved changes.

  • My Stats: new Last 30 days and Last 7 days periods next to All time and Last session, four
    headline figures at the top, and the longest lists as top-5 bar charts with Show all.
