Do not forget to include [[Hauling]] time into your profitability computations. There may be different strategies involving [[Compression]] or lack of such, [[Refining]] ore or selling it in raw form, selling locally or in [[Jita]], hauling yourself or paying someone to do it. | Do not forget to include [[Hauling]] time into your profitability computations.

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. | 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.
