About the Seals
Why Seals? FAQs
Many frequently asked questions about the Seals
Why do you do this?
Simply? We like helping others. It is fun to have to go out and help another CMDR, and we get to see sights we wouldn't have seen otherwise.
What do you do if someone shoots you?
Please see our page on PVP for our full position on it.
What do you think about modding the game?
Please see the page on cheating in the game located here.
Will the Hull Seals please help my faction/player group?
We take a similar position as other organizations on being allies with, supporting, or otherwise contributing to a specific faction or groups goals in the game.
We are here to help all players regardless of their play-style or opinions. Aligning ourselves in some way with another faction would result in their enemies becoming our enemies, and that would impede our ability to provide our services.
This does not mean that we wont be friends with any faction, we gladly will be friends with all factions in the game and provide anyone with free assistance. If you have an event happening, some of the seals may decide to assist on their own time. We love this game and everything we can do in it.
Can I contract the seals to provide services for an event?
Yes! We get paid in fish.
If your event is one that would benefit from having our services on standby, we will gladly create a "beachhead" (specific point for repairs) or have seals accompany your expedition so as to provide assistance.
We will repair all players that come to a beachhead, and our team accompanying your expedition will be on call for fast repairs through our regular request system. We have the following services available at this time:
- Hull repair.
- Canopy breach assistance
- SRV rescue - primarily for console but also available on PC for RP purposes
- Decontamination - for getting rid of caustic damage
- Beachheads - Stationary locations for rendering the above services.
Can you repair my modules?
Currently we do not have that ability to do so. that can only be done with an AFMU, (except for a powerplant or blown canopy) or at a station.
How do you repair my canopy?
If your canopy is just cracked and not blown, you can repair it with an AFMU. And we also can repair it as part of the hull with a Limpet.
If your canopy is blown however... we can't.
While we can't repair your blown canopy with a limpet, we do have an extensive set of procedures in place to greatly increase your chances of getting to a station, or ship with landing pads that can repair your canopy. We can increase your chance of survival greatly, as the more lightyears you are away from a station, the lower your chances of making it on your own are. We have a near 90% success rate of saving players, if they
- Log out immediately when they loose their canopy
- Listen and follow all our instructions
- Stay calm
So if you ever blow your canopy and are not close to a station, LOG OUT IMMEDIATELY. Then contact us. We will let you know when to log in to your game again.
Other Games
Other Games
The Hull Seals are first and foremost an Elite: Dangerous player group. Our services are geared toward Elite, and all members are CMDRs and Seals in Elite. However, the Seals also have ties to a number of other games, and in some, dedicated Guilds, Clans, Squadrons, or Factions.
Destiny 2
The Destiny 2 clan was the first out-of-Elite group set up to represent the Seals. The clan gathers to attempt Raids, Nightfalls, or other events as set up by members.
At present, the D2 clan is inactive
Arma 3
The Arma 3 squadron was the second out-of-Elite group set up to represent the Seals. The Arma 3 player squadron operates their own Wasteland server, and teams up to enjoy themselves in a casual and enjoyable setting with each other.
At present, the ARMA squadron is inactive.
Steam Group
The Seals, given the size of games available on the warehouse of Steam, do maintain a presence on the Steam groups platform.

And more!
Seals play more games than we maintain established groups for. We have Seals who play all sorts of games in community, including games like Star Citizen, Stellaris, Minecraft, Among Us, Racing Games, Beat Saber, and more. Odds are, you'll find some Seals that play similar games to you.
How to Join
If you're interested in joining any of these clans, the first step is to join the Hull Seals. All registered CMDRs are welcome to join the Seals, with the only requirement of also being a Seal within the Elite: Dangerous sandbox. As of yet, we do not accept people into these individual games and not Elite. These clans and groups are for our community out of Elite, to relax and enjoy themselves.
