Line 57:

If an NPC station is capable of refining then its equipment will have an efficiency rating between 30% and 50% (you can search for stations with 50% reprocessing efficiency by criteria, for example npc-corp or solar system, at [http://eve-online.itemdrop.net/eve_db/universe/station_search/ Station search page]). Obviously using a station with 50% equipment is better so pilots should take care when choosing a refining station and check this value before use. (You can use third-party map tools like [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ DOTLAN] to quickly check this. A list of the [[Mining_in_the_Apetter_Constellation|stations in Aptetter]] is available)

Now, confusingly, you would think that you would receive 50% of the minerals using this equipment, but ~~actually at~~ this ~~level you actually receive~~ 87.5% ~~of the minerals refined,~~ with 12.5% of the minerals lost as 'waste' ~~if you have no skills~~.

Now, confusingly, you would think that you would receive 50% of the minerals using this equipment, but in EVE nothing is quite that simple. All pilots have a 'natural' 37.5% efficiency. This is added to the station equipment, in this case, 50% + 37.5%, making a beginning pilots refining efficiency 87.5% with 12.5% of the minerals lost as 'waste'.
