I have wondered for a long time now the answer to this question....

Do ore processing skills reduce the 25% loss penalty that a refining array gives, set up in a POS tower ?


Example :

Specialization in Arkonor processing and refining. Allows a skilled refiner to utilize substandard refining facilities at considerably greater efficiency. 5% reduction in Arkonor refining waste per skill level.


Intensive Refining Array : Refining Yield Multiplier 0.75 x


Wouldn't every level of Arkonor Processing increase the yield modifier ?

short answer : no
bit longer answer: skills does not change **** when repossing is done at pos, only in station!
Repossing at POS costs you 25% per run

Yes, refining skills do help at a POS, but the POS refining array has a HARD CAP at 75% efficiency. No matter how high your skills are, you can never get better than 75% of your minerals from the thing. This is why POS refining arrays are only used in locations where both outposts and Rorqual support are completely out of the question.
