In the World Map Control Panel under Services there are both "Refinery" and "Reprocessing Plant." I am having a difficult time conceiving of how these are different. Can anyone enlighten me ?

From the EVElopedia: "Reprocessing is a combination of refining and recycling. Ore, manufactured goods, and loot are refined into their component minerals, and ice is refined into ice products."

Ore and Ice are refined in a Refinery and everything else is reprocessed in a Reprocessing Plant is how I see it.

For all intents and purposes they are the same.

Not everything in the database is used in EVE.

Hmmm, I never noticed that before.

Guess it is true, no matter how long you've been playing this game you still learn something new every day.

Definitely gonna have to check that out in-game and see if all items can be used at both services and see if there's a difference in stats between the two services, such as amount of waste, tax, return, cost, etc.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Semantics. Both are the same thing.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."
