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.

Collecting \c(0d0)Loot\c(): When enemy ships are defeated they drop loot which you can sell at stations.

Selling \c(0d0)Resources:\c() Mine asteroids and sell the materials to a \c(0d0)Resource Depot\c()

\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.

\c(0d0)Credits\c() are the Galactic currency accepted by everybody. There are a number of ways that you can generate money:

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.

Move the Strategy View by using the \c(fff)arrow keys\c() or \c(fff)[W]\c(), \c(fff)[A]\c(), \c(fff)[S]\c(), \c(fff)[D]\c(), or by moving \c(fff)[Left Mouse]\c() to the edge of your screen (this can be disabled in the settings menu).

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

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

If you want your ship to perform orders that deal with more than one target or that are stretched over multiple sectors, command it via the \c(0d0)Galaxy Map\c().

Select a ship or a group of ships and then use the icons at the bottom of the screen to give an order.

Galaxy Map Orders

More advanced orders are unavailable if your ship doesn't have a \c(0d0)Captain\c().↵ ↵ See the chapters on \c(0d0)Galaxy Map Orders\c() and \c(0d0)Captain's Commands\c() for more advanced commands.
