</div>

**Includes:**  
New solar systems, new region, new constellations and new stations (+1 updated image of a station type that was missing)  
_Improved way of updating these elements so they won’t be as long out of sync._  
Added basePrice to item/type cards.  
Latest SDE for types/items.

**Removed:**  
Dogma information for types/items removed. The dogma had been outdated for too long and it needs to be remade with a method that is SDE update compatible. Hopefully this isn’t ruining too many sheets. No data → Legacy data

Only couple of more lower priority remaining data dependencies that will bring us into a much nicer update compatibility to match the SDE rate of release \<3  
Next up on the docket is migrating older code and improving the ESI usage with changes the addin doesn’t yet utilize but are beneficial. (aka I get to refactor a bunch of things)

Thank you for this.

Do we have a way to search for Agents in stations?

I see in the SDE’s npcCharacters.yaml that some of them have “agent:” with agentTypeID, divisionID, isLocator and level properties.

That’s something one could work with, my first thought is creating a function with a level filter, agentTypeID filter and regionID → by reading the stationID of the agents and grouping by regions.

This is an excellent idea, useful to newbros, uses static data mainly and gives me a usecase for bringing in the npcCorporation yaml to help parse npc corps faster.
