Dashboard Tour
A map of the web dashboard — the Fleet Command server picker, the six guild tabs, and the Features card/modal pattern.
The StarBot dashboard is deliberately small: one server picker, then one page per guild with six tabs. Once you know the layout, nothing on it will surprise you. This guide walks the whole thing so you always know where a setting lives.
Logging in and picking a server
- 1
Log in with Discord. Go to trystarbot.com and click log in. Discord OAuth asks you to authorize — StarBot only reads which servers you're in and which you can manage; it never gets your password or messages.
- 2
Land on Fleet Command. After OAuth you arrive at
/dashboard, the server picker titled Fleet Command. It lists every server where you holdManage GuildorAdministrator. Each card carries one button:- Initialize Link — the bot is in this server; click to open its dashboard.
- Invite Bot — you can manage this server, but the bot isn't in it yet; the button takes you to the invite flow.
- Upgrade — takes you to the tier upgrade flow for that server.
- 3
Check the status chip. On a guild's dashboard, the header shows a connection chip: "Systems Online" means the bot is in the server and responding; "Signal Lost" means it's offline or was removed. If you see Signal Lost, re-invite the bot before changing settings.
Fleet Command only shows servers where your account has Manage Guild or Administrator. If a server you help run isn't listed, ask the owner for one of those permissions, then log out and back in.
One page, six tabs
The guild dashboard is a single route — clicking a tab switches the view in place without changing the URL. The six tabs:
| Tab | What it holds | | --- | --- | | Features | A grid of 12 feature cards — the home of most configuration | | Permissions | Per-command role overrides | | Server Stats | Live member/channel counter channels | | Analytics | Command usage stats (Elite) | | Events | The full event system — types, events, schedules | | Tokens | Voice-participation token economy and reward catalog |
The header above the tabs shows your guild's tier badge (Free / Pro / Elite), the Systems Online / Signal Lost chip, and a "Return to Fleet" link that takes you back to the server picker.
The Features tab pattern: card → Configure → modal
This is the one pattern to internalize. The Features tab (the default tab when you open a guild) is a grid of cards. Every card has an on/off toggle, and most have a Configure button that opens a centered modal with that feature's settings. Modals always end with two buttons: Cancel (discard) and Save Changes (apply).
There is no separate "Citizen tab", "Orders tab", or "Applications tab" — those are all cards here. Only Events, Tokens, Permissions, Server Stats, and Analytics are big enough to be their own tabs.
1–90
The 12 feature cards
- Order Fulfillment — delivery orders category and role, plus the credits-based Org Funding section (channel, optional separate leaderboard channel, officer role, officer user). See Orders.
- Voice Relay — cross-channel voice relay roles and log channel. Pro
- Applications — recruitment forms; types and questions are managed in Discord via
/config-appsadmin, and the card holds a checkbox to require a verified RSI citizen to apply. See Applications. - Citizen Data — RSI handle linking with an allowed role, plus the Verification + Reminders section (enable, delivery style, channel, interval, max reminders, custom message). See Citizen Verification.
- Ship Sync — sync members' RSI ship lists; allowed role.
- Hangar — hangar browsing; allowed role.
- News Feed — Star Citizen news posts to a channel of your choice.
- AI Story — interactive AI adventures in a dedicated channel. Elite
- Analytics — toggle only, no modal; turning it on unlocks the Analytics tab. Elite
- Moderation — mod log channel, exempt roles, trap channels, and cross-post duplicate auto-ban. See Moderation.
- Rules Verification — verified role, rules channel, and an optional "require Citizen link before verifying" gate.
- Star Citizen Q&A — an AI Q&A channel with an optional restricted role. Elite
Each card's modal maps to a /config-* command in Discord — /config-ordersadmin, /config-citizenadmin, /config-modadmin, and so on. Both write the same settings; use whichever surface you're closer to. The command reference has the full list.
The other five tabs
Events
The scheduling hub, in three sections: Event System Settings (enable, default IANA timezone, auto-voice category), Event Types (a table with New Type — each type sets its broadcast/board/log channels, ping role, and reminder offsets), and Events (a table with New Event — time or goal mode, start date/time, duration, capacity, repeat rules, and an opt-in auto-created temporary voice channel for token earning). Full lifecycle in the Events guide.
IANA name — not CST/EST
| Type | Board | Reminders | Active |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server-Wide | #events | 1440, 60 | Yes |
| Logistics | #ops-board | 60 | Yes |
Tokens
The voice-participation economy: Token Settings (enable, tokens for the first hour, tokens for each later hour, a per-session cap, your currency's name, and the redemption channel) and the Reward Catalog (name, cost, a role to grant or a custom reward). Members earn by spending time in an event's voice channel. See the Tokens guide.
Permissions
Per-command access control. A search box and an "only commands with overrides" filter sit above a table of every command (name, category, status, default). Click the pencil on a row to choose Everyone, Specific roles, or Disable for everyone, with a Reset to default escape hatch. See the Permissions guide.
Server Stats
Live counter channels: pick a type (Total Members, Human Users, Bots, Online Members, Channel Count, Role Count), set a name format with a {count} placeholder (e.g. Members: {count}), and the bot creates and keeps a locked voice channel updated. Existing counters are listed under Active Counters and Managed Channels.
Free covers up to 3 counters, Pro up to 10, and Elite up to 50. See tiers.
Analytics Elite
Read-only usage stats: total commands, commands today, most-used command, active users, and a 7-day usage chart. The tab unlocks when the Analytics card on the Features tab is toggled on (Elite tier).
