Mining involves using various specialised tools to locate resource-rich asteroids, extracting and refining various raw minerals and metals from those asteroids, and then selling the collected commodities for the highest possible profit. Although more time-consuming and manual than simple trading, the number of tools available to miners allow for a more custom approach to the task, and massive profits can be earned depending on what mineral is collected and where it is sold. | Mining involves using various specialised tools to locate resource-rich asteroids, extracting and refining various raw minerals and metals from those asteroids, and then selling the collected commodities for the highest possible profit.

A | A salvager is a minor career to retrieve Cargo Canisters found in space, at salvageable wrecks or on a celestial body's surface using a Cargo Scoop. Whether retrieving an item is legal or not can be seen by the GUI text that appears when targeting it - either "Legal Salvage" or "Illegal [[Salvage]]". | ||
Cargo that a player both jettisons and abandons becomes legal salvage, whereas cargo that is only jettisoned is considered illegal salvage for everyone but them. Cargo that is marked as stolen can only be jettisoned. | Cargo that a player both jettisons and abandons becomes legal salvage, whereas cargo that is only jettisoned is considered illegal salvage for everyone but them.
