Ice harvesting: Difference between revisions

Ice mining is different to standard asteroid mining as only mining barges and exhumers are capable of fitting the required equipment, and the refined products are not used for manufacture, but for the standard operation of [[Player Owned Structures]](POS) as well as [[Capital Ship Jump Drives]].

Ice mining equipment also differs to asteroid ~~miners~~, as the yield is a fixed parameter depending on the ships being used. All capable ships will mine one piece of ice per cycle, except for the mackinaw which has a 100% bonus, ~~thusly~~ 2 pieces of ice will be mined per cycle.

Ice mining equipment also differs to asteroid mining modules, as the yield is a fixed parameter depending on the ships being used. All capable ships will mine one piece of ice per cycle, except for the mackinaw which has a 100% bonus, so instead 2 pieces of ice will be mined per cycle.

~~To improve the amount~~ of ice ~~mined~~, the ~~cycle time is reduced~~, ~~allowing for more cycles.~~

==Ice Asteroids==

In empire space ice asteroid belts are found at fixed locations, to find them use this free map [http://www.ombeve.co.uk/Eve_Regions.pdf] Eygfe is an example of a system with an ice asteroid belt.

Each asteroid can contain well over 100,000 pieces of ice and each piece takes up 1,000m3 of cargo space.

===Ice===

There are 4 basic types of ice asteroid that are aligned to the faction that controls the local space, with perfect ice refine each will allways produce;

50 Heavy Water

25 Liquid Ozone

1 Strontium Clathrates

as well as ice specific isotopes
