In addition, NPC stations take a tax for using their refining facilities. The tax is based on the player's personal or corporation standings with the station's owner, whichever standing is higher is used. The tax starts at 5% with 0 standings and falls to 0% at 6.67 standings with the station owner. Hence, it's a good idea to refine at stations for which you or your corp have the best relationship.

==Refining==

==Refining in a station==

Before you can refine your raw materials, or reprocess modules and scrap, you must place the ore in your hangar at a station with a refinery, or into the cargohold of a player-owned starbase reprocessing array. Compressed ores require 1 unit to refine, while uncompressed ores require 100 units. You cannot refine uncompressed ores with less than 100 units of a single type, e.g. 75 units of Veldspar cannot be combined with 25 units Dense Veldspar to refine together. Both compressed and uncompressed ores yield the same amount of minerals per batch. All ice require 1 unit to refine, with compressed ice simply takes 10x less volume (100 m3) than uncompressed ice (1,000 m3).

To refine, you can right click the item from your hanger, or drag it to the opened refining window. Once done, you'll have screen that looks similar to this

In this example, we have approximately 120,000 units of Plagioclase selected from refining. With 39% overall efficiency, refining yield will give approximately 51,850 units of Tritanium, 10,000 units of Pyerite and 51,850 units of Mexallon.

To see more detailed information about exact yields and refining calculations, simply hover over any item in either the input or output window. For example, hovering over the Plagioclase in the input window shows us the following:

* The base yield from station equipment is 32%.

* With Level V Refining skill we have a x1.15 yield increase.

* With Level IV Refining Efficiency skill we have a x1.08 yield increase.

* With level II Plagioclase Refining skill we have a x1.04 yield increase.

* With zero stations (individual or corporation) we have a x0.95 yield reduction.

As a result our total net yield is 39%.

To calculate this manually, or import into a tool or spreadsheet, you can use the following formula.

''Station Equipment x (1 + Refining skill x 0.03) x (1 + Refining Efficiency skill x 0.02) x (1 + Ore Processing skill x 0.02) x (1 + Reprocessing Implant)''

==Refining in a POS==

Refining in a player-owned starbase is very similar to refining in a station, with the exception that there is no NPC tax. All other calculations remain the same. A reprocessing array can be anchored in any security space and provides a 52% base yield (2% greater than then best NPC station), while the more advanced Intensive Reprocessing array yields 54% base but cannot be anchored in high-security space. To use either array, you must be withing 3,000m of the structure. From there, either open your ship's cargohold or right-click the structure and select "access reprocessing array." To use the array, you must drag your item(s) from your ship's cargohold or nearby container, and drop them in the reprocessing array's cargo hold. From there, right click the item(s) and select "reprocess." You will not see the refining window like you do in a station, so make sure you want to refine your selection. Once done, the minerals will in the array's cargo hold next to whatever excess materials were left over.
