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.

Materials

Thargoid Mats
HIP 17403 A4 crashed ship
1/2 way between the 2 lower ships, sensors will roll down the hill and can be shot to get Sensor fragments. Relog and do it again.
(my favorite location, also available at the location below)

Hyades sector aq-y d81
meta alloys and thargoid mats.

GUARDIAN MATS
Synuefe EN-H d11-96
Look for "convoy" and “ship wreckage” signal sources to find the guardian mats per Will’s post here:

GUARDIAN DATA
Synuefe NL-N C23-4 B 3
48.1808, -48.3718
There are two Obelisks right next to each other. Stand in between them. Scan both, relog, rinse and repeat.
