== Compression ==

Compression offers significant savings in valuable cargo-space, allowing a non-mining ship like hauler bring a large amount of them between structures and trade hubs, and in case of fleet operation a ship-based compresser also allows mining ships do their mining job at a significantly extened time, as they are no need to despot thier mining hold regularly. Compressed ore are still fits ore hold.

There are two way of compression: an Upwell Structure with Reprocessing Service online and available to you, or a Industry Command Ship with compresser actived. Compression ores are free (and structure owner cannot set a tex for it) and there are no limit how many of them you can compress at the same time, despite bring a Reprocessing Service online or bring a Industrial Core active cost fuel to operate.

Compression ratio in nowadays are simple: compressed ore are either 1% (for asterolid ore, moon ore and Mercoxit) or 10% (for ice and gas cloud) volume compared to their uncompressed version.

Compression will not change the reprocess yield of ore, same type and amount of uncompressed ore and compressed ore will yield same amount of materials, and thus compression only helps hauling.

=== Ship based compresser ===

[[Porpoise]], [[Orca]] and [[Rorqual]] can fit Compresser: a high-slot module that enable compression for one type of ore. Compresser comes with their type and size, and they can only compress ores with right type and can only be fitted to ships with right size.

There are five types of compresser: Asterolid ore, Gas cloud, Ice, Moon ore, and Mercoxit. Compresser are comes with three sizes: Medium Compresser for Porpoise, Large Compresser for Orca, Captial Compresser for Rorqual. Additionally, these are no medium sized compresser of Ice, Moon ore, and Mercoxit for Porpoise to equip.

To active the compresser, the ship has to active their Industrial Core first. An actived compresser will affect all fleet member with in range: 44 km for a medium compresser, 83 km for a large compresser, and 144 km for a captial compresser. When a ship is mining within compresser effect range, they mined ores are compressed ores - ores that automatically compressed by compresser in fleet.

Additionally, have a compresser actived will also enable manual compression, that allows you or your fleet member compressed their uncompressed ore in their ore hold, by simply right clike it and select "compress". This helps if a ship accidently outside compresser range and mined umcompressed ore, they can simply fly back to compresser range to get their ore compressed.

=== Structure compresser ===

There is still a change for players to compress their ore if one don't have access to a ship with compresser. Upwell Structure with Reprocessing Service online and available (Refinery, Engineering Complex, or Citadel with it, NOT NPC station even if they have reprocessing service!), will allows players to compress their ores in item hangers. Simply right click ores and select "compress", and then they will have them compressed that fit most haulers easily.

=== Gas decompression ===

Gas cannot reprocess, and blueprints don't accept compressed gas as input. Compressed gas can be decompressed by simply right click ores and select "decompress". This will return the exact same amount of gas before compression.

Like compression, gas decompression needs a structure with Reprocessing Service online.

=== Batch compressed ore ===

[[File:pos_compress.gif|center]]

Prior to [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-20-03 Patch 20.03], ship based compression was exclusive to Rorqual and there is no compresser module - Industrial Core do the nowadays compression work. At the time, asteroid ore and Mercoxit have to be compressed by a whole batch: 100 units of ore compressed to 1 unit of compressed ore. After the introduction of 1 to 1 compression, old compressed asteroid ores are now call "Batch Compressed" ore and are no longer available to creating more of them.

A batch of batch compressed ore to reprocess is 1, since they are created by a whole batch of 100 ores.

Batch compressed ore has various volumes depending on the type, unlike the current compression which is all 0.01 or 0.1 ratio. See the below for specific volume information.
