Be careful of station's buying limits when selling ore. A station will pay less for an ore they already have, unless you have more than they do. To get the most out of a station, sell to them until they have one less than the maximum amount you can carry, then come back later with a full cargo hold. As you will likely be getting multiple types of ore in a single run, this can be difficult without [[game:ships:ship:330M Mule Auton|mule autons]] to help carry things or the risk of [[game:ships:ship:salvager nomad|salvager nomads]] stealing your items and ore. | Be careful of station's buying limits when selling ore.
