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

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

The ores can then later be refined at a \c(0d0)Resource Depot\c()'s refinery into normal materials.

The ores you collect won't be stored in your bank immediately, but in your \c(0d0)Cargo Bay\c(), so to effectively mine with these lasers, \c(0d0)Cargo Blocks\c() are required on the ship.

They will be able to extract materials from asteroids.

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

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.

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.

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.

Captain's Classes

Lower tier captains can be hired at stations while Tier 3 captains have to be found by other means.

Captains with higher tiers are more experienced and will be more successful when sent to carry out commands, but they do ask for a higher salary.

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

To find asteroids with hidden resources, install an \c(0d0)Object Detector Subsystem\c().

Only a very small percentage of the bland looking asteroids may have resources hidden inside of them and it is generally not worth mining non-resource asteroids.
