They will be able to extract materials from asteroids.

To mine asteroids, special \c(0d0)Mining Lasers\c() are necessary.

R-Mining

To learn more about them, read the chapter on \c(0d0)Refining\c().

After claiming one of them you can found a mine on it to extract goods or you can sell it to a nearby faction for a huge sum.

There are \c(0d0)Refining Mining Lasers\c() and \c(0d0)Raw Mining Lasers\c().

Many of them contain treasures, and it is definitely worth it to try to open them.

All \c(0d0)Mining Lasers\c() are made for specific materials and are only capable of mining the next higher and all lower materials.

Sometimes, \c(0d0)Secured Containers\c() can be hidden within asteroid fields or large container fields.

Once transformed, the station will only be able to move if put into \c(0d0)Transport Mode\c() and docked to a ship.

\c(0d0)Iron\c() is the simplest material.

Those can extract the metal ores and scrap metals very quickly, but your ship will have to collect and store the unrefined metals and it will need a \c(0d0)Cargo Bay\c() to do so.

You can assign \c(0d0)Captains\c() on your ships, either to command a ship of yours while it is in a different sector, or to profit from your captain's experience while you're still in control of your ship yourself.

Once you own, it, you get to decide what to do with it: you can keep it and found a \c(0d0)mine\c() on it, which is expensive but which will eventually generate considerable income for you.↵ Or you can \c(0d0)sell\c() it to a nearby faction for a huge sum.

If you build too many stations in a sector controlled by another faction, you will eventually take over the sector and your relations to that faction will suffer.
