Raw ores are very large items and they take a lot of cargo space to haul. The compression offers to convert raw ore into compressed ore which allows to save valuable cargo-space, extended operation time for mining fleets, and more hauling capabilities for haulers. There are two ways of compression: visiting an Upwell Structure with Reprocessing Service online which is available to you, or using a nearby Industry Command Ship with a compressor activated.

Many public mining groups or organizations outside of EVE University may require tipping a booster or a new player may encounter situations where boosters ask for a tip. One should always use their best judgment and be wary of [[Scams in EVE Online#Recruitment Scams|recruitment scams]] and attempts to take advantage of miners. When in doubt ask others for advice if something seems suspicious.
