Moving either ore or minerals between systems can be quite a chore, given the volumes involved - even a small operation could well require multiple freighter journeys to move materials to your build system.

This is where ore compression comes in useful. Ore compression turns (for example) 100 units of Veldspar into 1 unit of Compressed Veldspar, which takes up only 1.5% of the volume. This compressed ore can then be [[Reprocessing|reprocessed]] into minerals, obtaining the same amount of minerals as if you had reprocessed directly from the ore to minerals. | ||
