Mining

Overview
Mining is a Job where many new to the station get their start with the simple exchange of Time for various Ores which can be stockpiled for later use in other Jobs or sold for that sweet Space Coin. A dedicated miner with an assemblage of gear can get more experience, mine more quickly, and maybe find some extra items.

The mines await.
