We can ~~reduce the cycle time even~~ further by using Ice Harvesting Upgrades. These ~~basically~~ work the same as Mining Laser Upgrades,but the ~~bonus reduces~~ cycle time instead of increasing yield. A T1 upgrade ~~gives~~ a 5% bonus ~~with a~~ 10% CPU penalty, and a T2 upgrade ~~gives~~ a 9% bonus ~~with~~ 12.5% penalty. ~~Obviously our ultimate~~ aim is ~~two~~ fill all ~~of the~~ low power slots with these modules for a combined cycle reduction of 27%.

Cycle times can be reduced further using Ice Harvesting Upgrades. These work in the same way as Mining Laser Upgrades, but reduce the cycle time instead of increasing yield. A T1 upgrade provides a 5% bonus (10% CPU penalty) and a T2 upgrade provides a 9% bonus (12.5% penalty). To minimise cycle time the aim is to fill all low power slots with these modules for a combined cycle reduction of 27%.

[Note: Training up ~~your~~ Skills:Industry#Mining Upgrades|Mining Upgrades ~~skill~~ will reduce the ~~penalty rate~~ as well as allowing ~~you to~~ use the ~~tech 2~~ at a higher level.]

[Note: Training up Skills:Industry#Mining Upgrades|Mining Upgrades will reduce the penalties as well as allowing use of the T2 upgrade at a higher level.]

As I found when fitting my ship with the Ice Harvester Upgrade ~~II's (IHU II's)~~ I ran out of CPU ~~when i had~~ 3 active and ~~wasn't able~~ to fit the two ~~tech 2~~ Ice ~~harvesters~~.

Personal experience: I found that when fitting my ship with the Ice Harvester Upgrade IIs I ran out of CPU with 3 active and was unable to fit the two T2 Ice Harvesters. The issue was resolved by using a cpu upgrade rig (there were leftover calibration points) and training higher levels of [[Skills:Electronics#Electronics|Electronics]].

I was ~~able to fix this issue with~~ a ~~simple~~ cpu upgrade rig ~~useing the~~ leftover ~~150~~ calibration points and training ~~skill points in~~ [[Skills:Electronics#Electronics|Electronics]].
