===Mineral values===
This table shows the RU you can receive at the [[Starbase]] at [[Earth]], per unit of minerals. A [[:File:Cargo-value-shot.png|graphic table]] is also available.
{|border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0
!Category !!Value
|-
|Common ||1
|-
|Corrosive ||2
|-
|Base Metal ||3
|-
|Noble Gas ||4
|-
|Rare Earth ||5
|-
|Precious ||6
|-
|Radioactive||8
|-
|Exotic ||25
|}

===Mineral amounts===
The number and size of the mineral deposits on a planet is determined from the specified deposit type and the size of the system's star as follows:

{|border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0
!Description!!Quantity!!Quality!!Avg Dwarf||Avg Giant||Avg Super
|-
|Trace ||0-1||1-10||5.5||8||15.5
|-
|Light ||0-4||1-10||11||21||31
|-
|Medium||0-4||6-15||21||31||41
|-
|Heavy ||0-4||11-20||31||41||51
|-
|Huge ||0-8||11-20||62||82||102
|}
*'''Quantity''' is the number of mineral deposits of that type to be found on the planet.
*'''Quality''' is the size of each mineral deposit. The numbers given are for Dwarf star systems. Giant and Supergiant systems add +5 and +10, respectively, to the Quality of each mineral deposit in the system.
*'''Avg Dwarf''' is the average number of units of the mineral one could expect to find on such a planet around a Dwarf star.
*'''Avg Giant''' is the average number of units of the mineral one could expect to find on such a planet around a Giant star.
*'''Avg Super''' is the average number of units of the mineral one could expect to find on such a planet around a Supergiant star.

Where the minerals table says "×2" or "×3", there will be multiple series of deposits. So for example a Carbide World will generate three Heavy sets of deposits.

The size of the graphic used for the deposit is determined as follows:
{|border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0
!Quality!!Graphic Size
|-
|0-15||Small
|-
|16-23||Medium
|-
|23-30||Large
|}

Note that deposits of 23 units can appear as either Medium or Large graphics (about a 50-50 chance of either)
