To dock with a ship, the player must be in [[Tactical]] view and must line up their [[Docking Port|docking port]] with the docking port of the stranded ship. A ship's docking port appears as two diamond-shaped indicators that must overlap the target ship's diamond-shaped indicators. When done correctly, the docking port extends and connects to the target ship. | To dock with a ship, the player must be in [[Tactical]] view and must line up their [[Docking Port|docking port]] with the docking port of the stranded ship.

Tilium is used to create the [[FTL Charge]]s for evacuation ships to travel away from the void. The [[Ore#Tilium Ore|Tilium Ore]] must be mined from an asteroid belt and, in some cases, smelted into [[Metal#Refined Tilium|Refined Tilium]]. The Tilium Ore or Refined Tilium must then be taken to a trading post for delivery via shuttle. | Tilium is used to create the [[FTL Charge]]s for evacuation ships to travel away from the void.

Asteroid belts may contain hostiles or be in the path of a meteor shower, requiring ship defenses to perform the mining successfully. It is a good idea to review the available ''Combat'' contracts to see if any are in the same system, as that may indicate the level of hostile activity to expect. | Asteroid belts may contain hostiles or be in the path of a meteor shower, requiring ship defenses to perform the mining successfully.
