*'''Shared Can (SC)''': This is a jetcan mining fleet where the miners place the raw ore into a jetcan (which was jettisoned by someone and named so it will last two hours), and a hauler regularly takes the ore out of the can and when full, takes it to a station for later processing.

*'''Bring Your Own Can (BYOC)''': This is a fleet you can join to get "boosts" from the fleet ~~commander~~ while in the same ~~system~~, though miners will ~~mine different belts and often~~ haul their own ore to the station. This is typically an Orca pilot with a few spare fleet spots that he lets others use. There is no shared ore or profit. More information on the [[BYOC]] page.

For a [[BYOC|Bring Your Own Can fleet]], you will need to do the following:

#After joining the fleet, find an asteroid belt with no fleet members in it, target your asteroids, and activate your mining lasers/drones.

#After joining the fleet, find asteroid belt with fleet members in it, target your asteroids, and activate your mining lasers/drones.

#Once your hold is full return it to a station or jetcan it to be picked up by a hauler ~~that was already arranged~~.

#Once your hold is full return it to a station or jetcan it to be picked up by a hauler you own or someone provides.

#It is customary to tip the booster a small percentage of your profits, as a thank you for providing the boosts.

#A [[BYOC Boss|BYOC Fleet Boss]] needs to maintain the fleet; this does not require any special skills.
