# Other Tips and Tricks Sometimes, Seals find resources or tools that are useful to share, that we think are worth sharing. However, these don't exactly fit well in other categories or on other pages. This page contains a few resources that we've found over our time in the Galaxy. Please keep in mind, this page contains links to resources the Seals are not responsible for and have no control over their content. Please contact us with any questions or concerns, and be careful about what sites you visit on the web. --- ### Charts and Graphs ##### Ship Size Chart [![shipsizechart.png](https://hullseals.space/knowledge/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/scaled-1680-/h4VRk7eObZO7ZXBc-shipsizechart.png)](https://hullseals.space/knowledge/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/h4VRk7eObZO7ZXBc-shipsizechart.png) Source: [View on the Elite Dangerous Blog (Wayback Machine)](https://web.archive.org/web/20210727151842/https://www.elite-dangerous-blog.co.uk/post/Ship-Size-Chart-3305-Edition) --- ##### Stellar Object Scan Chart ![https://i.imgur.com/1meKYTH.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1meKYTH.jpg) Link: [https://i.imgur.com/1meKYTH.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1meKYTH.jpg) --- ##### Stellar Object Value Calculation (Approximate) [![scanvalue.png](https://hullseals.space/knowledge/uploads/images/gallery/2019-12/scaled-1680-/9CZq54f9IEhApwWr-scanvalue.png)](https://hullseals.space/knowledge/uploads/images/gallery/2019-12/9CZq54f9IEhApwWr-scanvalue.png) Source: Fleetcomm Discord Bot --- ##### Efficiency Target Plotter [![27gYieW.png](https://hullseals.space/knowledge/uploads/images/gallery/2021-03/scaled-1680-/3vmWuDovb7EIjCRC-27gyiew.png)](https://hullseals.space/knowledge/uploads/images/gallery/2021-03/3vmWuDovb7EIjCRC-27gyiew.png) --- ### Reddit and Forum Guides Unlocking Engineers quickly: [https://np.reddit.com/r/EliteOne/comments/8bs6g8/foxs\_stepbystep\_guide\_to\_unlocking\_engineers/](https://np.reddit.com/r/EliteOne/comments/8bs6g8/foxs_stepbystep_guide_to_unlocking_engineers/) Guardian Modules: [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/walkthrough-guardian-module-blueprints.438289/#post6856649](https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/walkthrough-guardian-module-blueprints.438289/#post6856649) Guardian Weapons: [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/walkthrough-guardian-weapon-blueprints.445508/#post6979326](https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/walkthrough-guardian-weapon-blueprints.445508/#post6979326) Guardian SLFs: [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/walkthrough-guardian-vessel-blueprints.446206/#post6993998](https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/walkthrough-guardian-vessel-blueprints.446206/#post6993998) Finding Escape Pods: [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/guide-fast-way-to-find-occupied-escape-pods-near-colonia.447311/](https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/guide-fast-way-to-find-occupied-escape-pods-near-colonia.447311/) Material Engineering Database: [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-scavenger-a-new-database-of-materials-for-engineers.367052/](https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-scavenger-a-new-database-of-materials-for-engineers.367052/) --- ### Mining Info When it comes to the Seals, one of the most important people to have around during Code Blacks is our miners. iMU mining guide.
