They will be able to extract materials from asteroids.

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

However, not all captains are equally talented. Each captain can be classified by \c(0d0)tiers (0 to 3)\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.

Once you have installed it on your ship, open the \c(0d0)Trading Overview Window\c() which has appeared in the top right of your screen.

All captains have different character traits, which they can improve by gaining \c(0d0)experience\c() while on commands and thereby \c(0d0)leveling up\c().

Beware though: Stealing goods is seen as offensive and might lead to massive reputation loss!

Buy and sell them for a fine profit, or liberate them from other sources.

A Trading System even allows you to look at price differences and supply and demand of certain goods on your \c(0d0)Galaxy Map\c().

Use the \c(0d0)Strategy Mode\c() to see which stations in the sector sell or buy which goods.

While you are in the same sector as one of your ships, you can tell it to carry out small, single target orders like \c(fff)attacking\c() a target, \c(fff)harvesting\c() an asteroid, \c(fff)docking\c() to a station, \c(fff)guarding\c() a spot, or \c(fff)flying\c() to a position or through a gate.

\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.

Selling \c(0d0)Asteroids\c(): Some asteroids in the galaxy are larger than others, and definitely worth having.

Some stations produce, buy and sell trading goods and will make profit over time, so it is important to have those in profitable area where supply and demand are advantageous.
