If your long term goal is to efficiently mine ore for your own use and/or for profit, then you probably want to follow a career path that goes something like this:

# Start with Veldspar ore in high security systems,

# Start with Veldspar, Scordite, Pyroxeres and Plagioclase ore in high security systems,

# Improve your refining skills with ~~Veldspar~~ to at least Level IV,

# Improve your refining skills with {{sk|Simple Ore Processing}} to at least Level IV,

# Acquire the skills you need to operate a [[Mining Barge]],

~~# Improve your refining skills with the Scordite to at least Level IV,~~

# Improve your refining skills to at least level III with {{sk|Coherent Ore Processing}} for Omber and/or Kernite processing

# Improve your refining skills to at least level III with ~~Pyroxeres, Plagioclase, and/or~~ Omber and/or Kernite

At that point, you will be able to mine the basic ores profitably with relative safety. Then it will be time to think about mining for ice, gas, and high value ores in more dangerous places, such as low security systems, null security systems, and [[wormholes]].

* Medium Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender - increases shield strength

* Mining Laser Upgrade I - increases the mining laser's yield

* Damage Control I - prevents damage to the ship
