Ore is refined into minerals, which are combined with blueprints to manufacture ships and gear, which is sold to other players via the Regional Market service. This process requires as much skill as combat, takes as long to learn, and is just as much fun to play. While most players learn at least a few combat skills, a significant number of players do very little combat, preferring instead to explore, mine, manufacture, trade or administer. For more, read the detail section, below.

This comes as a surprise to many experienced RPG players. You rez, not at a graveyard, but in your "[[medical clone]]", which you have stored at some station (possibly far from where you are).
