Compression offers significant savings in valuable cargo-space, allowing a non-mining ship like a hauler to bring a large number of materials between structures and trade hubs. In the case of fleet operations, a ship-based compressor also allows mining ships to mine for a significantly extended time, as there is no need to deposit their mining hold regularly. Compressed ore still fits in the | Compression offers significant savings in valuable cargo-space, allowing a non-mining ship like a hauler to bring a large number of materials between structures and trade hubs.

There are two ways of compression: an Upwell Structure with Reprocessing Service online which is available to you, or an Industry Command Ship with a compressor activated. Compressing ore is free (and the structure owner cannot set a tax for it) and there is no limit on how many of them you can compress at the same time, despite bringing a Reprocessing Service online or bringing an Industrial Core active cost fuel to operate. | There are two ways of compression: an Upwell Structure with Reprocessing Service online which is available to you, or an Industry Command Ship with a compressor activated.

There is no limit to the count of compressor that can be fitted and active at the same time, but since a mining site only yields one category of ore, fitting more than one compressor is unnecessary as you can easily refit your ship to change a compressor type, saving the high-slot for other utility modules. | There is no limit to the count of compressor that can be fitted and active at the same time, but since a mining site only yields one category of ore, fitting more than one compressor is unnecessary as you can easily refit your ship to change a compressor type, saving the high-slot for other utility modules. | ||

This helps if a ship is accidentally outside compressor range and mined uncompressed ore, they can simply fly back to compressor range to get their ore compressed. | ||
