	The ore compositions of your cargo bay are provided in a much higher resolution in this menu than that of what is shown on the [[Head-Up Display\|HUD]], being good to more accurately figure out how much more you can fill the cargo bay from what's there. As for processed ore storage, the total is displayed next to the cargo bay display. It will show the total of each ore, as well as any contained in a [[Cargo Container\|cargo container]]. Any equipment listed that contains ore will have the mass of the specific ore contained within it on top of the power button underneath the specific ore label.

Any equipment listed that contains ore will have the mass of the specific ore contained within it on top of the power button underneath the specific ore label.

	The options given for any equipment that handles ore will be displayed sequentially. Any equipment that handles it will use the toggle grid displayed, with each power button signifying an ore that the equipment is allowed to hold, alongside the other restrictions. Equipment involved in external handling of ore will be restrained by the ore type selected. If an ore is selected, any chunk containing it will be grabbed if passing the other filters (NOTE, water is a mineral found in all ore chunks, selecting this will grab any ore chunk that passes other checks). The other options given to handling equipment ~~are Unmarked tags~~, which will ~~allow~~ the ~~grabbing~~ of ~~ore before it is fully identified (ID'd) by the geologist~~, and may grab other objects depending on the equipment ([[Nanodrones\|Tug and haul drones]] will also attempt to grab [[Lifepod\|lifepods]] with this option, the [[AR-1500 Manipulator\|AR-1500 Manipulator arm]] will attempt to grab rocks, lifepods, [[Uranium Crystal\|serenity torbernite crystals]], ~~and~~ derelict ships), ~~but~~ the NT companion will only attempt to capture ores. Handling equipment also has a price slider, which will stop IDing ores that do not have a total value greater or equal to the value set.

If an ore is selected, any chunk containing it will be grabbed if passing the other filters (NOTE, water is a mineral found in all ore chunks, selecting this will grab any ore chunk that passes other checks). The other options given to handling equipment is the [[Albedo]] slider, which will adjust the targeting of unidentified ores based on their metal content, and may grab other objects depending on the equipment ([[Nanodrones\|Tug and haul drones]] will also attempt to grab [[Lifepod\|lifepods]] with this option, the [[AR-1500 Manipulator\|AR-1500 Manipulator arm]] will attempt to grab rocks, lifepods, [[Uranium Crystal\|serenity torbernite crystals]], derelict ships, and a select few other objects), based on the selected albedo. Albedo is ignored on any ore chunks once identified (ID'd) by the geologist.

			The NT companion will only attempt to capture ores. Handling equipment also has a price slider, which will stop IDing ores that do not have a total value greater or equal to the value set.

	Containers work on a different system, where only ore toggles are displayed. These toggles allow you to change what is allowed inside the container. This feature is especially useful for the mono THICC, where you would only want to allow one or two specifics inside it. If there is ore within a container that has that specific ore disabled, it will drain to the internal processed cargo hold, where it will be distributed between other containers if any exist, or just stay in the internal hold. It's useful when wanting to release a THICC to capture another object with the cradle.		Containers work on a different system, where only ore toggles are displayed.

	The astrogation points are split into three different types: Large objects, anomaly points, and intractable events. Large objects will for the most part include [[Moonlet\|moonlets]] and [[:Category:Stations\|stations]], anomaly points include radar anomalies (usually ships), big ~~lidar~~ contacts (usually moonlet-like objects), and [[pirate]] drop points, and interactable events include your [[B8 Claim Beacon\|claim beacons]], racing events, Vilcy rendevouz, and Vilcy drop points. It is generally recommended to hire an astrogator for this job to extend the tracking time, as all points (exc. claims) will only last for 12 hours without their input, meaning they can only be seen that dive. If a large object's contact is lost, the point moves to the lost destinations list (shown by the toggle of the same name). A lost point will still be there, but the object will drift further from where you astrogate to it the longer it is left unfound.

	Astrogating to a point involves selecting the point, and pressing the "plot a course" button. The default settings will automatically guide you to the target. Astrogation will be blocked when the ~~lidar~~ sweeps over an object in the way of the course, which will stop the calculation until no object is detected. This can be mitigated by adjusting your course to avoid them, or choosing a slower speed to not run into rocks as fast. It may also be a good idea to disable the "use autopilot" option, as this will automatically set a velocity and orientation for the ship, which may be undesirable in a given situation, especially if it would throw you right into a rock or fling something held by a manipulator arm into deep space. Tuning speed will change how quickly you travel to a destination, ranging from 10 m/s to 100 m/s when the max autopilot velocity is tuned that high (the [[Bald Eagle]] can astrogate as fast as 190 m/s due to it's custom hull) Going faster may be useful if you want to complete a dive quick to do more before the paychecks are due, but is significantly more likely to cause collisions.

			Each of the materials at the top bar can be clicked on to show a gradually broader readout of the ore abundance within asteroids around you, which is incredibly helpful for refueling (Iron fields have alot of water, which converts to propellant), replenishing drones with the Voyager Mineral Processing Unit (They use platinum), replenishing mass driver ammo with the Voyager MPU (You need Vanadium), looking for beryllium, (Beryllium has the highest monetary density per unit, but is also the lightest and easiest to fling away, be careful with high powered mining equipment), or looking for Wolfram (Also known as tungsten, wolfram ores chunks can have the highest density per ore with a good value behind each unit).
			The geologist screen also gives an incredibly up to date, incredibly accurate readout on your cargo bay composition in the bottom-right of it's screen (For a more rapidly accessible screen, look in the bottom-left of your K37 HUD, in the center of your Eagle HUD, or on your ship with the Elon Interstellar HUD while you're out of the OMS screen), which is useful for accurately seeing whether there is available space or not.
			And finally, with active drones, mining companions and/or other automated ore grabbing assistants, you can determine their parameters for ore targeting in the geologist tab, from setting them to ignore certain types of ore, to only picking up ore above a certain value, both of which are useful to conserve drones and/or cargo space.
