How to Join The Hull Seals

Welcome!

We're glad to see you have an interest in joining us.

Joining the Seals is more than just slapping a repair limpet controller on your ship. We pride ourselves on the quality of our Seals, and so require a few steps before you can become a fully-fledged member. On this page, we'll go through everything you need to know in order to become one of Elite's most dedicated providers: A Hull Seal.

Step 1: Register

Your first step on the journey toward becoming a Seal is to register on our site. Making an account ensures that we can credit you for your rescues, as well as provide useful services and tools to you. To register, simply go to https://hullse.al/register, and make an account. After registration, you will receive an email asking you to verify your account from noreply@hullseals.space. Click on the link in the email to verify your account. Note that verification links are only valid for 24 hours, but you can request a new one by logging into your account using the menu on our main page.

You should only make one account on our site. Any Alternate Names (such as multiple accounts) will all be associated with your account via our profile section. So speaking of...

Step 2: Fill Out your Profile

In order to feed your CMDR information into our database, and add your name to our paperwork and other forms, you need to complete some fields on our website. From your profile (which you can find here), You must fill out the "My CMDRs" section. You should also take this time to register a few IRC names, available through the same link. These will be explained in greater detail during your basic training.

Optionally, however, a fun thing to do is register some of your ships to get your own unique Seal Ship Registry Code. This is just for fun, and is not required.

Step 3: Basic Training

To ensure that all of our Seals are trained and ready to respond to any hull emergency, we have a two-step training process. In order to be trained, currently, you must join our Seal server. Once you have done so, following the instructions in Step 4. To sign up for training, add your name to the form, found at http://hullse.al/tSignUp.

In order to complete your virtual and in-game drills, it is required that you know and are familiar with our Standard Operating Procedures, or SOPs. The most up-to-date copies can be found at all times by visiting our Knowledge Base, at https://hullse.al/SOP.

Step 4: Joining our Communities

In order to be assigned cases, and to complete your drill, you are required to be logged in to our Hull Seals IRC server. You can find information as to how to connect to our IRC server in our IRC and Connection Information Section of the knowledge base!

Currently, our training systems remain hosted on our Seal Discord server, while cases have moved over to our IRC server.

The Seal Server

For your training and drill, and to interact with the Hull Seals social community, you should join our Hull Seals Basking Cove Discord server. The link to join the server is https://hullseals.space/SuperSecretDiscordLink. Add the Trainee role in the #Botspam channel, and read through the informational channels. Be sure to say hello to the Seals in our general chat, and feel free to ask questions. You'll find knowledgable, friendly CMDRs willing to help you.

Step 5: Your Drill

After joining our Discord server, and registering for your drill, be sure to keep an eye on the training channels! You'll be informed as to your date, time, and location in-game of your drill or training. After attending and passing both parts of your training, you'll be granted full access to all sections of our server, and all the privileges as a member of the Hull Seals.

Step 6: ARF!

Congrats, CMDR! You've passed your drill and are now a fully registered Seal.

After being trained, log in to the IRC server and wait for calls. While not incredibly common, the service you have volunteered to provide is essential for many CMDRs, and even being there as the safety net is a great service.

Keep an eye out for cases, enjoy the community, eat lots and lots of fish, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! We look forward to seeing you star-side, CMDR.
