The SC Trade mini line in flight: the timer of the phase, the cargo with its purchase price, the target of the trip, the expected profit and the «Прилетел» (arrived) button. The interface is in Russian.
Folded — the mini line in flight
The unfolded SC Trade window: the terminal table on its «Продать» (sell) side — commodities, prices, stock and the best ROI for each. The interface is in Russian.
Unfolded — the terminal table

What it does

You enter the prices you see on the terminals in the game. The app works out the rest, on your own computer.

01At the terminal

A price diary
Write down the prices you see on the terminals. The app keeps them, marks how fresh they are and works out what a route earns.
Your prices come first
UEX reference prices fill in where you have none of your own yet. Until your own price has gone cold, it is the one the numbers use.
The unfolded SC Trade window: a table of the terminal's commodities with prices and ROI, and under it the «Варианты» (options) section — five destinations with price, ROI and UEC per hour. The interface is in Russian.

02On a trip

A trip in one line
Your first purchase starts the timer. Folded, the window is a mini line: the cargo, the expected profit and the mark buttons «Взлетел» (departed) and «Прилетел» (arrived).
Sell here or fly on
When you have a price of your own here that has not gone cold, the app compares selling here with other buyers: profit, UEC per hour, flight time.

03Routes

A route from where you are
The «Маршрут» (route) button shows the best options from your current location, sorted by UEC per hour or by ROI.
My routes
Your trips add up to a ranking of routes by UEC per hour, a history of trips and what a session earned.
The «Мои маршруты» section: a table of routes with the commodity, UEC per hour, number of trips, time, profit and ROI. The interface is in Russian.
«Мои маршруты» (my routes): a ranking by UEC per hour

Beside the game, not inside it

SC Trade is an ordinary Windows window that stays on top of the others. Here is what it does and what it does not.

A window over the game
The game has to run in borderless window mode. The window is not drawn over exclusive fullscreen.
Never takes the keyboard by itself
The keyboard goes to the window only while you type into a text field — after your click on it — and after the input goes back to the window that had it (usually the game). Esc in a field gives it back at once.
No injection, no reading of the game's memory
The app does not read the game's memory and injects nothing into other processes; it opens no handle of another process. To tell whose window is active, it asks Windows which process the active window belongs to (and, with the cursor diagnostics switched on, the window under the cursor), and compares the process number only with its own: the other number is not kept anywhere and not written to the log.
Presses nothing for you
The app sends no key presses and no clicks. Keys are assigned in the settings; nothing is assigned by default. While at least one is assigned, Windows calls the app on every press of any key. For a key that is not assigned the app returns at once: it does not read the state of Ctrl, Alt and Shift and remembers nothing. It passes every press on: the game gets it as usual.
Online only for UEX data
Everything is worked out on your computer. The app goes online only for the UEX reference lists and reference prices (api.uexcorp.uk).
Your data stays on your disk
The settings, your prices and your trips live in one database in your Windows user folder; the five latest backups are kept next to it.
