The **Structure Commander** on HWS Connect lists every base and ship you own on a server, privately or through your faction, with information the game doesn’t show you, above all the **30-day inactivity wipe timer**. With **Manage** you can send rescue, home, insurance, recycle and sell commands to the game without typing them.

## 🔍 What You See

The header shows your number of **Structures** , how many are **Wiping soon** (idle 20+ days), how many are **Deleted** , and your **EGS Recycle level**.

| Column | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Name of Structure** | Opens the structure in the 3D Structure Viewer |
| **Structure ID** | With a copy button. Always give this ID when you contact admins about a base or vessel |
| **Wipes in** | Time left until the inactivity wipe (see below) |
| **HWS Connect Control** | **3D** preview and **Manage** |
| **Structure / Owner Type, Owner** | Base or ship type, Faction or Private |
| **Playfield, Solar System** | Where it is. Click to open it on the HWS Universe map. Misplaced a ship? Find a forgotten SV on ECC before it costs you taxes or gets wiped |
| **Position, Last Warped, Last Touched** | Coordinates, last warp, and how long it has been idle |
| **Class, Powered, Block / Device Count, Lights, Triangles** | **Powered** shows whether the generators are on |

- Sorted by default so the structure closest to its wipe comes first. Sort and export as CSV. The column filters are an [HWS Pro+](https://connect.empyrion-homeworld.net/patreon-tiers) feature
- **Card view** shows one card per structure with a 3D thumbnail and the wipe bar
- Deleted structures are hidden by default (switch “Show deleted structures”)

## 📆 The Wipe Timer

Structures that nobody visits for **30 days** are wiped. **Visiting the structure in game resets the timer.**

- 🟢 **Green** : idle less than 20 days
- 🟠 **Amber** : idle 20 days or more, counts as “Wiping soon”
- 🔴 **Red** : “Past the 30-day limit”, the wipe may already have happened

In game, `cb:wipe` and `cb:NextWipe` show your personal wipe timer.

### 🔔 Wipe notification (HWS Pro+)

Turn on the **Wipe notification** on this page (or in **Settings → Notifications** ) to get a browser notification **1–29 days** (default 3) before one of your structures hits the 30-day wipe: “ _will be wiped in 2d 4h — log in to reset the timer._” Needs [HWS Pro+](https://connect.empyrion-homeworld.net/patreon-tiers).

## ⚙ Managing Structures

1. Be **online in game on that server**
2. Click **Manage** on the structure
3. Click the action you want. Actions with input (Lock Code, price) have their own field and button
4. “Sent to game =\> …” confirms the command was delivered. The game’s answer appears in your in-game chat

 ![Structure Control dialog](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/uploads/default/original/3X/5/4/5494dca5a98356d5ca851d158ab6083117e5701a.png)

> 🌀 The **Stargates** tab of the same dialog links the Stargates you bought. See [HWS Pair of PvE Stargates](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/hws-pair-of-pve-stargates/14622).

| Action | Command | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Execute Warp Rescue** | `cb:warprescue:ID` | You warped, disconnected and ended up in a different orbit than your ship. Only shortly after it happened |
| **Move your ship to you** | `cb:getshiphere:ID` | |
| **Bring your ship down to you** | `cb:getshipdown:ID` | |
| **Go Home / Respawn at Home** | `cb:gohome` | Within 2 minutes after you died |
| **Set Structure as Home/Respawn** | `cb:sethome:ID` | Because the in-game “Home Spawn” is sometimes buggy |
| **Use Insurance** | `egs:insurance:ID:LockCode` | Needs a saved template (Control Panel) and its Lock Code. See [EGS Insurance](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/egs-insurance/38621) |
| **Recycle** / **Recycle to OCD** | `egs:recycle:ID` / `egs:recycleocd:ID` | Use Recycle to OCD to get your Patreon Core out (the core itself can’t go into the OCD). See [EGS Recycle](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/egs-recycle-structures/7112) |
| **Sell ship to Garage** | `ts:sell:price` | Only in an Elemental Garage Zone, acts on the ship you are in. See [HWS Garage](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/hws-garage/4643) |
| **Sell ship for credits** | `ts:sellcredits:ID` | PvE: Dealer Origin, Patron Master+, Master Origin or in a Trading Zone. PvP: only in a Trading Zone |
| **Destroy your structure** | `cb:destroy:ID` | Asks for confirmation, can’t be undone |
| **Stealth Ship** | `egs:stealth:on:ID` | See [EGS Stealth](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/egs-stealth-technology/7111) |

> 💡 Find a structure’s ID in the Structure ID column, on its card, or with `di` in the in-game console.

The **Open EGS services** button leads to the Elemental Galactic Services page (ship jump, blueprint time, starter ship, Recycle / Insurance upgrades).

## ❓ Common Questions

- **“No structures on this server”** : nothing is registered to you on this server yet, or check the server selector.
- **“Sent to game =\> …” but nothing happened** : check that you were online on the right server and met the command’s in-game conditions (zone, Origin, Lock Code …).
- **Why can’t I click Manage?** The structure is already deleted.
- **The 3D preview** only works for your private structures and your faction’s.

Use the Structure Commander regularly to avoid losing structures to inactivity or taxes.
