\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.

Instead, they'll only break down asteroids into bits of \c(0d0)ore\c().

Most asteroids that are worth mining can be recognized by the colorful material residue on their surface.

They deal \c(0d0)more damage\c() and have a \c(0d0)higher efficiency\c(), but won't refine materials on the spot.

They will be able to extract materials from asteroids.

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

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.

Raw Mining Lasers (or short: \c(0d0)R-Mining Lasers\c()) are a special kind of Mining Laser.

Press \c(fff)[${shift}]\c() while issuing certain orders to enchain them.

R-Mining

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

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

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.

All ships and stations in the sector are listed here, and you can see the goods that are being bought and sold, the crew members waiting to be hired and the missions availabe at bulletin boards.
