Compression offers significant savings in valuable cargo-space, and can only be done at a | Compression offers significant savings in valuable cargo-space, and can only be done at a Player-Owned Station ([[POS]]), [[Citadel]], or with a [[Rorqual]] industrial ship whilst in its industrial configuration. The compression array has no security restrictions and can be anchored at any POS. Batch sizes are 100 units for ore, and 1 unit for ice, with both compressing down to a single unit of their compressed version per batch. Compressed ice takes 10-times less volume (100 m3) than uncompressed ice (1,000 m3). Compressed ore has various volumes depending on the type. See the [[Ore|Ore table]] below for specific volume information. | ||
A single unit of compressed ore or ice can be processed for an equal amount of materials as their uncompressed versions. As such, compression yields more minerals per m3 of space, but not per batch - 100 units of Veldspar yields the same 415 Tritanium as a single unit of compressed Veldspar, which was at some point made from 100 units of uncompressed Veldspar. | A single unit of compressed ore or ice can be processed for an equal amount of materials as their uncompressed versions.

Once the ore is placed in the Compression Array, or Rorqual's ore hold, simply right click and select compress. For the Rorqual you will need to make sure the industrial core is active, as it cannot compress ore normally. If there are more than 100 units of ore, or 1 unit of ice, they raw materials will be quickly compressed and ready for whatever you plan to do with them, with any excess materials left untouched. Typically, compression is done to maximize cargo space for efficient and safe transport, such as capital production in low/null security space. | Once the ore is placed in the Compression Array, or Rorqual's ore hold, simply right click and select compress.
