	* Returning minerals frequently will usually leave one or two free inventory spaces. Use them for [[Ship Items]] such as a [[Small Shield Generator]] or a [[Frequency Nullifier]]. Both improve your chances of survival. '''ALWAYS ask for permission before buying such equipment, minerals have more important places to be. You should be fine surviving without such items.

	* [[Frequency Nullifier]] is essential late-game (or early-game if you're getting harassed) to prevent harassment and wraith sniping. A wraith can't shoot what he can't see, so nullifiers are a good investment. However the enemy wraith can spot your mineral packages and follow their trajectory back onto your location, do not think you are safe with just a nullifier.		* [[Frequency Nullifier]] is essential late-game (or early-game if you're getting harassed) to prevent harassment and wraith sniping.

	* Always position your miner at a safe place within an asteroid field. The further inside the field you are, the more difficult launching an attack on you will be.

This can help you with late game scouting, or if you want to steal a field from the enemies grasp early game. For example; If a large field is located on the top right of the map, the exact same sized field (not always the same mineral types) is going to be located on the bottom left of the map also.

	* If you wish to take mining to its most difficult degree, Watch kerm asteroids as they fly on the mini map, they do not change course unless they hit something. You can use this to predict its next rotation on your side of the map, being there early will allow for more kerm gathered as it passes.		* If you wish to take mining to its most difficult degree, Watch kerm asteroids as they fly on the mini map, they do not change course unless they hit something.
