==Pilot Skills==

There are two generic skills that affect a player’s ability to refine: [[Skills:Industry#Refining|Refining]] and [[Skills:Industry#Refinery Efficiency|Refinery Efficiency]], both of which are available from NPC stations. Refining is the first skill you will need to improve efficiency, and will cost approximately 45,000 ISK. (This cost can be covered by the university's [[The Skillbook Program|skillbook program]].) Each level of Refining will increase the pilot's efficiency by 2% for a maximum of 10% increase. Using commonly found 50% empire equipment will now give you an output of 91.25% with 8.75% of the minerals being lost.

Each level of Refining will increase the pilot's efficiency by 2% for a maximum of 10% increase. In this case, the pilot's natural efficiency of 37.5% is increased by 10%, .375 x 1.1 = .4125 or 41.25%. Using commonly found 50% empire equipment will now give you an output of 91.25% with 8.75% of the minerals being lost.

Refinery Efficiency has the largest impact on refining efficiency; as such it takes 3 times as long to train as Refining, as well as requiring Refining Level 5 as a prerequisite skill. This skill costs 252,000 ISK. Training Refinery Efficiency to level 3 gives an output of 96.2%. Due to the mechanics of the game, when using an NPC station this is fixed to 95%.
