Tutorials & FAQ

Getting set up, using each tab, and the community guides this app's menus, missions, ships and officers were built from.

Desktop app or web version?

What's the difference?
  • Windows app (available now): install it on the PC you play on. Everything stays on that PC; nothing is sent anywhere else. Timers and alerts work in the background.
  • Web version (preview): no install. Create a free account on this site and see the same tabs from any browser, including your phone. Your account data is stored on our servers, encrypted, and only you can see it.
How will signing in to the web version work?

You'll sign in to this site with your email (a one-time code, no password to leak) or a passkey. We don't use a Scopely sign-in because Scopely doesn't offer one to other apps, and we will never ask for your Scopely password.

After signing in you get a private sync link made just for you. Add it once to the Community Mod on the PC (or Mac) you play on, the same way the Windows app connects. From then on, every time you play, your account updates on the site. You can turn the link off or make a new one at any time, and delete your account and all its data in one click.

Do I still need a PC?

Yes, for syncing: the Community Mod only runs on the game's PC and Mac clients, and that's the only way game data can reach any companion app. You can then view everything on your phone or any other device.

Installing Fleet Command Compendium

What do I need?
  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit).
  • Star Trek Fleet Command's PC client, signed in to your account. The phone versions can't sync, but they share the same account, so syncing from the PC keeps everything current.
  • The free STFC Community Mod, which sends your account data to this app. Setup helps you install it.
How do I install it?
  1. Download the installer and run it. If SmartScreen warns you, choose More info → Run anyway (the installer isn't code-signed yet).
  2. The app opens in your browser at 127.0.0.1:8271 and shows the setup page.
  3. Follow the steps there: PC client, Community Mod, Connect, game data, first sync.

It installs for your Windows user only, adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts, and can start with Windows so timers and alerts keep working in the background.

I used Fleet Progress 1.0. What happens to my data?

Install the new version over the old one. It replaces Fleet Progress in Apps & features and, on first start, copies your sync key, account data, settings and history to the new folder. Nothing needs re-entering in the mod.

How do I update or uninstall?

To update, download the latest installer and run it over your current version. To uninstall, use Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps. Your data folder in %LOCALAPPDATA% is kept unless you delete it.

The STFC Community Mod

What is it, and is it safe?

The Community Mod is a free, open-source add-on for the PC client, made by fans. Among other things it can send a read-only copy of your account data (missions, ships, officers, resources, research) to sync targets you choose. Fleet Command Compendium only reads that data; it never changes anything in the game.

Scopely's rules ban tools that alter or exploit the game. Read-only sync isn't mentioned either way, so decide for yourself. Many players use it with community sites.

Where do I get it?
Can I keep syncing to other sites too?

Yes. The mod supports several sync targets at once, so this app can sit alongside any others you use. Setup adds its own entry and leaves the rest alone, after saving a backup of the settings file.

Using the app

Overview

The Ops goal card lists what your next Operations level needs and how far along each item is. Running timers count down every building, research, ship and away-team job. On the right: missions at a glance, resources and factions. Progress history charts your account over time.

Missions

Missions are grouped as active, available, locked, alternative paths and completed. Each shows the level it needs, the mission that unlocks it and its rewards. Click any mission count on the Overview to jump straight there.

Ships, officers and research

Your roster with pictures, levels, tiers and ranks, plus what you haven't got yet. Research shows each tree and your levels.

Factions and warnings

Each faction card shows your reputation, faction credits and recruit tokens, how reputation moved in the last day and week, the game's own "how to earn" text, and missions you can do now that raise it. If a faction turns hostile or your reputation drops, a banner appears under the menu and Windows shows a notification.

Timer alerts

When a timer finishes you get a Windows notification and an in-app pop-up, even with the window closed, as long as the app runs in the background. Turn them off or send a test from Settings → Alerts.

Colours and logo

Settings has several colour themes and logos. The banner and menu stay in the bridge red; the theme colours your data.

Data & privacy

Where does my data go?

Nowhere but your PC. The app listens only on 127.0.0.1, which no other computer can reach, and keeps everything in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FleetCommandCompendium. There's no account, no analytics and no cloud. The sync key stops other programs on your PC from sending it data.

Where do mission, ship and officer details come from?

From the public fan database at stfc.space, downloaded during setup and refreshed when the game updates. Pictures come from the same place and are cached on your PC.

Does it need my Scopely login?

No, and it never will ask for it, in the app or on this website. Scopely has no public "sign in with Scopely" for other apps, and typing your Scopely password into any third-party site puts your account at risk and breaks Scopely's rules. Be wary of any site that asks for it. Your data arrives only through the Community Mod.

Troubleshooting

The header says "Waiting for first sync"
  • Make sure the game was closed when you clicked Connect, then start it again.
  • Check the mod is installed in the game folder (see the mod's install guide above).
  • Open the setup page again at http://127.0.0.1:8271/setup.html. Its "Prefer to do it yourself?" part shows the exact lines the mod's settings file needs.
The page won't open

Start the app from the Start menu, then open http://127.0.0.1:8271. If another program uses ports 8270 or 8271, close it and start the app again.

I don't get notifications

Check Settings → Alerts is on and send a test. In Windows Settings → System → Notifications, make sure notifications and Do Not Disturb allow them.

Game guides from around the web

Independent guides we found useful while building the app. Many older guides are from 2019–2021, so check the date before following tier lists.

Getting started
Officers and crews
Ships
Factions
  • Scopely help center: Factions
  • There are few good current guides on reputation; the Factions tab in the app shows the game's own text and the missions that raise each faction.
