 '''''Mining''''' is one of Galaxy's core functions and is one of the roots of the economy in Galaxy. Its one of the main sources for Building ships and Gaining credits. Though mining is considered to be tedious, menial, and a grindy job in the game, as it requires lots of patience for average pay, at least for new players.

-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". It will pay you for all of or most of your ore depending on your loyalty and will take all of or most of it depending on how many credits the [[Starbase]] has.

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)''.

 <h3>'''Tips and Tricks'''</h3>
-*When mining in larger miners that can mine multiple asteroids in a single run, it's best to assign a mining laser to several ores, instead of focusing them all on the same one - this reduces the number of times you need to reassign your mining lasers, as each individual asteroid will last longer.

-*It is heavily advised to go home immediately after your faction 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.

This makes them very big targets for enemy pirates.
 *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.
 *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).
-*Shutdown mining, a variation of this strategy, can be a viable way of gaining Credits if no bases can afford or will allow you to sell there and/or just want Credits rather than materials. It requires a [[VIP Servers|VIP Server]]<nowiki/> that the player '''owns'''. Steps are to get to a full ore hold then shut down the server through server configuring. Each run can make up to 15,000 Credits in a [[Galaxy]]. This is due to the refund system that, when the player is either kicked or the server shuts down, will reimburse the player for what was in their cargo or ore hold at the time. The player must own the server, as simply leaving will not give the refund.

-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 weaponry and tend to be slow, and have no damage resistance, which makes their defenses weak against attackers.

 '''Important Notes:'''
 *Miners larger than the [[Rorqual]] CANNOT dock at the [[Mega Base]], and will show a message that you cannot dock.
 *NEVER Mine during a war, you will be guaranteed to get dived by a [[Pirating|pirate]] if you have a large and expensive miner.
+*Mining lasers can be used as weapons, however their damage is extremely low.

 '''''All''''' ships in the [[Build Menu]] ''(excluding the [[Wasp]] and [[Wyrm]])'' require at least some Silicate, Carbon, and Iridium. Higher tier ships require Adamantite, Quantium, Titanium, and Palladium as well as Uranium.

 '''Common Ores'''; Silicate, Carbon and Iridium are found commonly scattered throughout the map of Galaxy. These ores also spawn in a large cluster near [[:Category:Starbase|Starbases]] and [[:Category:Planets|Planets]].

+*[[Loyalty]] now affects the percentage of ore that is transferred into your [[Warehouse]] via this second dump ore option in version .64h.
 * Version .64h, players can transfer 14% of their mined ores into their [[Warehouse]]. This method makes dump to the warehouse more profitable than selling to a starbase after about 11% [[Loyalty]] and is recommended for new players in the game, although it is still a viable option for all players to use, especially at higher loyalties.
 *Ores were remodeled in version .66b by bomb_pops.
