Line 185:

She then upgrades her ship to a [[Hulk]] (with some training to {{sk|Exhumers|IV}}), and installs an Ice Harvester Accelerator rig for good measure, which brings her cycle time down to 2 minutes 40 seconds. Going for broke, she upgrades all her modules to their Tech 2 variants and trains her skills to level V, dropping her cycle time down to 1 minute 49 seconds, for a total reduction of 60%.}}

As mining ice often turns into a race, with large number of miners competing to mine as much ice before the belt is emptied, having short cycle times can be an advantage beyond simply mining more ice in a given period of time. This allows you to beat your competition to those last few pieces of ice in a belt (as, if two miners are attempting to mine the same asteroid with only one unit of ice left, whoever finishes their cycle first gets that block of ice, and the other gets ~~nothings~~). [[Mining#Survey_scanner|Using a survey scanner]] can be very helpful, as you can see how much ice is left in each asteroid.
