Ice mining works in much the same way as [[mining|ore mining]]: equip a ship with ice mining modules, approach and target an ice asteroid, and activate the mining module. At the ''end'' of each cycle, one unit of ice will be deposited in your ship's cargo or ore hold (despite its name, the ore hold can hold ice too). However (unlike ore mining) ice mining modules can only be fit on [[Mining Barges]] and [[Exhumers]], and the asteroid [[Drones#Mining_Drones|mining drones]] cannot be used. Specialized [[Drones#Ice_Harvesting_Drones|ice harvesting drones]] must be used, which also come in T1, T2, Augmented, and Excavator flavors.
