Capital ship movement early warning plugin for AllianceAuth

aa-captrack

AllianceAuth plugin for tracking and alerting on capital ship activity within your corporation or alliance.

Overview

aa-captrack is an AllianceAuth plugin designed to monitor capital ship activity across characters and accounts, providing:

• Real-time dashboard visibility

• Per-pilot snoozing
• Clear separation between tracked, alerting, and informational states

The plugin prioritises operational clarity and avoids unnecessary alert noise.

Capital Tracking Logic

Ship Class	Behavior
Titans	Always alerting
Supercarriers	Always alerting
Dreadnoughts	Alert when ≥ threshold (default: 5) under same main
Lancer Dreads	Alert when ≥ threshold
Carriers	Alert when ≥ threshold
Force Auxiliaries	Alert when ≥ threshold
Capital Industrials	Tracked only (no alerts)

Threshold logic is applied consistently across:

• Dashboard
• Discord alerts
• Background tasks

Dashboard

• Collapsible cards with rotating chevrons
• Clear separation of:
  • Critical
  • Alerting
  • Informational
• Optional display of unclassified ships
• Configurable refresh interval
• Optional remembered collapse state per user

• Separate webhooks for:

  • Critical alerts
  • Standard alerts

• Configurable ping behavior (roles / policy)

  • System
  • Region

  Snoozing

• Snoozing is per pilot (by design)

• Supports multiple durations (e.g. 1h / 6h / 24h)
