Star Citizen – Community Tool

Verselancer – Connect the Verse

Verselancer is an independent desktop app for Star Citizen. It lets you trade in-game items, create and accept jobs (crew, logistics, escort, support …) and coordinate everything in one place – using in-game currency only (aUEC / UEC), never real money.

FAQ

What does the app actually do?

In short, Verselancer is a community marketplace for Star Citizen that lives on your desktop.

  • Market: create listings for items, ships, cargo and services or browse offers from other players.
  • Jobs: schedule crew runs, logistics, escort or support jobs with time window, system, location and languages.
  • Chat: every offer and job has its own chat so you keep all agreements in one place.
  • Reputation: after a completed trade or job you can rate each other with +1 / −1.

The app only talks to the Verselancer backend. It does not read your Star Citizen login, does not touch your RSI account and has no access to your payment data.

Terms – Short Version

What data is stored & why?

Verselancer stores only what is required for the service to work:

  • Account: handle (player name) and a secure password hash (no plain-text password).
  • Seed phrase (optional): a hashed value that lets you reset your password.
  • Content: your offers, jobs, chat messages and reputation ratings.
  • Technical metadata: timestamps, last seen etc. to calculate account age and online status.

There are no payment details stored. All trades use in-game currency only.

This page is a human-friendly summary and not a replacement for jurisdiction-specific, lawyer-reviewed terms of service. For a full production release, final legal wording should be checked by a qualified professional.

Privacy

Why only handle + password?

Verselancer follows a strict data minimisation approach.

  • You do not need an email address to create an account.
  • No real-name requirement – your handle is all that matters.
  • The password is stored as a hash only.
  • The optional seed phrase is also stored as a hash, never in clear text.

This means that even if someone gained access to the database, they would mainly see handles, hashes and gameplay data – but no email addresses and no payment information.

Of course, marketplace listings, jobs, chat messages and ratings are visible to other users – that’s the whole point. Don’t share anything in chat that you wouldn’t say to strangers in game.

Reputation & Limits

Reputation, account age & listing limits

Reputation is a safety mechanic, not decoration

Each account starts with a neutral reputation score (for example 100). After a completed trade or job, both sides can rate each other with +1 or −1.

  • You cannot rate yourself.
  • Only one rating per deal and direction is allowed.
  • The score moves slowly – a single mistake doesn’t destroy everything, but consistently bad behaviour will show.

On top of that, Verselancer uses account age tiers. The older your account, the more simultaneously active offers and jobs you may have:

  • Fresh: very few active listings (strong anti-smurf protection).
  • Experienced: slightly higher limits.
  • Regular / trusted: significantly more room.
  • Veteran: highest limits and visibility.

Offers and jobs count together towards your limit. Trying to scam with throwaway accounts means constantly hitting hard caps and having almost no reach. Building a clean main account with a good history is always more valuable than a pile of fresh alts.

Download

Get the client

Test / beta build

The Verselancer desktop app is currently in a test / beta phase. Features, performance and stability may still change; bugs, outages or data loss cannot be ruled out.

The client will notify you inside the app whenever a new version is available and an update is recommended.

The download comes as a .zip archive; there is no classic installer:

  • Download the ZIP file
  • Extract it to a folder of your choice
  • Run the Verselancer executable from that folder
Download Verselancer 0.7.0

Using this test build is at your own risk. Create backups if needed and make sure your antivirus allows the app to run. File name and version may change in future releases – check this page from time to time.

SHA256 hash of the current ZIP: 07C2187BCC976F29DF231374D707C6694059C505E4A86F5E0CAD87262A057D2F. You can verify it locally (e.g. with Get-FileHash in PowerShell) to ensure the file has not been tampered with.

Note: the file is currently not signed with a paid Microsoft code-signing certificate. Windows (SmartScreen, Defender) may therefore show additional warnings – that’s normal for small community projects. If you’re unsure, simply cancel the launch.
