Refining is trash right now, the areas look cool but you lose both time and money, needs a significant rebalance. Then there are the issues with transferring the refined cargo to another ship so you can sell it, at a loss, at one of the major stations.
Plus the travel on the stations takes a ridiculous amount of time, Levski is probably the best place to sell quantanium.

I have no idea what refining is about right now - does refining the unstable time-limited Ores stabilize it so you can get it places without it going off/exploding? Might be worth the faff if you can get it in to a stable state for the riskier loads?

Refining it makes it stable, but the elevator rides are so long you're greatly increasing the risk of losing everything.
Plus, refining is also 'all or nothing' right now, so if you just refine the unstable materials you lose everything else or if you refine everything you're stuck having to transport all of it together (at a loss.)

I guess that's the end of my 10 minute trips back to olisar with half a million in Quantanium. :(

Sad times.
