{{sk|Mining|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Astrogeology|icon=yes}} both give a +5% bonus to ore mining yield per skill level, while {{sk|Ice Harvesting|icon=yes}} reduces the cycle time of ice harvesters by 5% per skill level. Additionally, all the mining ships gain bonuses from their respective [[Skills:Spaceship Command|Spaceship Command]] skills; for example, if you're flying a [[Venture]], {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} improves your ore mining yield by an additional 5% per skill level (or the cycle time of your gas harvesters by 5% per skill level). This last method is also the only way to improve gas harvesting through skills - {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting|icon=yes}} allows you to fit an additional gas harvesting module on your ship per skill level, but doesn't improve the efficiency of those modules.

=== Mining modules ===

:''Main article: [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#High-slot modules|Mining modules]]

Each category of mining module (basic ore miners, deep core ore miners, ore strip miners, deep core ore strip miners, ice harvesters, and gas cloud harvesters) includes a number of different modules which fulfill the same purpose, but some have better performance than others. In other words, mining yield can be increased by using higher-quality mining modules (i.e. modules with a higher yield). The downside is that higher-performance modules may have higher fitting requirements, may require additional skills to be trained, and are usually (but not always) more expensive.

~~=== Skills ===~~

For example, an average-skilled pilot in a [[Venture]] fitted with two Miner I modules can mine about 250 m<sup>3</sup> of ore per minute. If the pilot uses ([[Techs, Tiers and Meta levels|Tech 2]]) Miner II modules instead, his yield increases to about 360 m<sup>3</sup> of ore per minute.

Ore miners, in particular, have a large selection of mining modules to choose from.
