Ores & cargo
Ore types, selling prices, refining recipes, ore upgrades for lasers, rockets, speed and shields, and your cargo space.
Ore types#
Ore drops from aliens in cargo boxes (see the Aliens page for what each one carries). Click a cargo box to fly over and collect it.
| Ore | Type | Sells for |
|---|---|---|
 Prometium | raw | 10 C |
 Endurium | raw | 15 C |
 Terbium | raw | 25 C |
 Prometid | refined | 200 C |
 Duranium | refined | 300 C |
 Promerium | refined | 1,000 C |
 Xenomit | special – takes no cargo space | cannot be sold |
 Seprom | special (from the Skylab) | cannot be sold |
Selling ore#
Sell ore in the Trade window (icon at the top right) while you are at your home station. With Premium you can sell from anywhere.
Refining#
Open the Refining window (icon at the top right). Recipes:
- Prometid = 20 Prometium + 10 Endurium
- Duranium = 20 Terbium + 10 Endurium
- Promerium = 10 Prometid + 10 Duranium + 1 Xenomit
With Premium you can turn on auto-refine in the settings (Gameplay): the game refines with these recipes every time you pick up ore.
Ore upgrades#
In the refining window you can load ore into your equipment as an upgrade. 1 ore = 10 charges. The strongest loaded ore counts.
| Upgrade | Prometid | Duranium | Promerium | Seprom | One charge is used per |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lasers | +15 % | – | +30 % | +60 % | laser per salvo |
| Rockets | +15 % | – | +30 % | +60 % | rocket |
| Speed | – | +10 % | +20 % | – | minute |
| Shield | – | +10 % | +20 % | +40 % | minute |
Cargo space#
- Your cargo space is the ship's cargo (see Ships), +500 with Premium, ×2 with the GEM-XI extra, plus the pilot skill Logistics (up to +25 %).
- More ore from alien cargo boxes: the RES booster (+25 %) and the skill Tractor beam (up to +6 %).
