Mining has several advantages over other [[Money Making]] strategies, the paramount reason being the easiest and most accessible way to grind for ships and credits, especially in a VIP Server.

To mine, just get a mining ship and click on an Ore's name box, it will light up and then when you click on the buttons for your [[Turrets|Mining Laser/Turrets]], or press their hotkey, they will start to mine, if they are in range. After a while either your Ore Hold gets full or the ore disintegrates. If your Ore Hold is full, find the nearest friendly [[Starbase|Starbase,]] preferably your own team, and dock, then open the Menu and click "Dump Ore". There are two options for what to do with your ore: Selling ''(You give the starbase the ores and you get credits in exchange) and Transferring (The starbase refines the ores and transfers most of them to your warehouse)''. | To mine, just get a mining ship and click on an Ore's name box, it will light up and then when you click on the buttons for your [[Turrets|Mining Laser/Turrets]], or press their hotkey, they will start to mine, if they are in range.

*It is heavily advised to go home immediately after your team either declares or has war declared on them, as the 90 seconds of peacetime is likely your only chance of getting back to your base alive - miners don't have much health and are very slow and easy to hit, in addition to being expensive. This makes them very big targets for enemy pirates. | *It is heavily advised to go home immediately after your team either declares or has war declared on them, as the 90 seconds of peacetime is likely your only chance of getting back to your base alive - miners don't have much health and are very slow and easy to hit, in addition to being expensive.

*A [[Rorqual]] or [[Orca]] will assume slightly larger prices at the cost of some extra mining time. Always mine at high loyalties if you can spare the time. | *A [[Rorqual]] or [[Orca]] will assume slightly larger prices at the cost of some extra mining time.

*If you're in a private server with 2-3 people, you can dump into one NPC base and keep dumping into it until you can't. Then, when you feel the time is right, you can blow up the base to collect the 10% of ore you put in. This is called '''Boom Mining''' (It's only worth doing when your base has a TON of materials). | |||

In Mining, there is a dedicated class of Ships called [[:Category:Miner|Miner Ships]]. Miner Class ships are solely used for mining Ores. These ships do not have any form of dedicated weaponry and tend to be slow, and have no damage resistance, which makes them extremely weak against attackers. | In Mining, there is a dedicated class of Ships called [[:Category:Miner|Miner Ships]].
