Getting Started
Welcome to Dispatch
Dispatch is your contractor hub for Ordis Interstellar. Use it to claim contracts, submit proof, track credits, and request payouts.

What you unlock
- Live job board with rank-based access
- Ledger + payout tracking with proof links
- Transparent reputation and demerit system

2. Dashboard Tour
Hero stats
- Cleared credits vs pending credits
- Completed contracts + demerits
- Session status pill (Ready, Action Required, Frozen)
Payout panel
- Unlocks at 300k cleared credits and no open request
- Requires a confirmation checkbox so crews understand payouts can't be cancelled mid-flight
Active contract
- Shows manifest data, staff requirements, and SCU rates for your current job
- Submit Proof opens the upload modal
- Abandon clears the slot but adds 1 demerit and notifies Dispatch
3. Job Board & Rank Requirements
Rank ladder
Rookie -> Operator -> Coordinator -> Ranger -> Concierge -> Vanguard. You can only claim contracts at or below your current rank until your rank is updated.
Claim process
- Visit the Job Board.
- Open a card, read the brief, and confirm you meet rank + requirement notes before claiming.
- Click Claim Contract. You'll be redirected to the dashboard once the claim lock engages.
Contracts flagged "Staff Needed" are only claimable while staff are online. If staff go offline, those claims can be released automatically.
4. Submitting Contract Proof
Proof requirements
- Start screenshot (starting location / cargo in ship)
- Finish screenshot (handoff / delivery screen)
- Freemine/freehaul: enter SCU delivered
- Sourcing contracts: include delivered items and quantities
Tips
- Mining/freemine: start screenshot must show required SCU (bottom-right Mining UI)
- Check contract pay type so you submit the correct quantity (flat, SCU, or unit).
- Use Windows + Shift + S OR Ctrl + PrntSc to screenshot
- Need reference? The "See here" link points back to this guide.
5. Ledger & Credits
Pending vs cleared
Submitted contracts post to pending. After review, approved amounts move to cleared credits and become eligible for payout requests.
Ledger entries
- Contract Submitted: proof received
- Payout Requested / Payout: funds in transit
- Deductions: purchases, rentals, reimbursements, or adjustments
Negative balances
Manual conversions, rentals, or demerit clearances may push you into debt. Work additional contracts to restore a positive balance.
6. Payout Requests
Eligibility
- 300,000+ cleared credits
- No pending payout request
- Account not frozen
After submission
- Status flips to "Request Pending."
- Typical processing time is 1-6 hours.
- Guaranteed processing window is within 24 hours.
- You may need to be online and in-game when aUEC is sent.
7. Demerits & Account Status
How demerits accrue
- Abandoning contracts = 1 demerit
- Letting deadlines expire = 2 demerits
- 4+ demerits auto-freeze your account
Clearing demerits
Demerit clearance uses a 45k credit cost per point. If your cleared balance is low, your account can go into debt until you complete more contracts.
Frozen accounts
If frozen, you cannot claim contracts or request payouts. Contact staff on Discord once ready to resolve the freeze.
8. Support & Best Practices
Availability checks
For staff-required contracts, claim only when staff are online and your route is ready. If staff go offline, claims may be released automatically.
Proof quality
- Screenshot must be full-screen
- Ensure if you deliver to a staff, screenshot the delivery in their vehicle.
- Include SCU totals for freemine/freehaul.
