==== Mercoxit mining ====

Any ore mining module can mine any type of ore, with one exception: Mercoxit, the [[Asteroids and Ore#Ore variants|rarest ore type]] (and ~~only~~ source of Morphite minerals), which is found only in [[System security#Null security|nullsec]] systems and can only be mined with Deep Core mining modules (any module with "deep core" in its name). In order to use these modules you need to train {{sk|Deep Core Mining|icon=yes}}, and whilst they can be used to mine other types of ore, they are less efficient at it than "normal" mining modules.

Any ore mining module can mine any type of ore, with one exception: Mercoxit, the [[Asteroids and Ore#Ore variants|rarest ore type]] (and main source of Morphite minerals), which is found only in [[System security#Null security|nullsec]] systems and can only be mined with Deep Core mining modules (any module with "deep core" in its name). In order to use these modules you need to train {{sk|Deep Core Mining|icon=yes}}, and whilst they can be used to mine other types of ore, they are less efficient at it than "normal" mining modules.

Mercoxit mining has one other notable feature: when you mine a Mercoxit asteroid, it will randomly release a cloud of toxic gas which will damage your ship if you're caught in it. Fortunately, the cloud only forms within 5 km of the asteroid, so keep your ship further away to escape any damage (note that this precludes you from using the basic Deep Core Mining Laser I module, as it has a maximum range of only 5 km). Alternatively, you can train {{sk|Deep Core Mining|icon=yes}}, which reduces the chance of a cloud forming by 20% per skill level - in other words, at {{sk|Deep Core Mining|V}}, no clouds will form when you mine Mercoxit.
