Ice harvesting requires specialized modules or drones, and so is generally only performed by the same ships used for regular mining: [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Mining Barges and Exhumers]], [[Expedition Frigates]], Industrial Command Ships, the [[Rorqual]], the Capital Industrial Ship. | ||

Ice belts can be found in every region of New Eden, but only in specific systems,<ref>[https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ dotlan]</ref> and each system contains 1–3 ice belts. Ice belts disappear once mined out, and then respawn 6 hours later.<ref>[https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-19-08 Patch Notes - Version 19.08]</ref> This timer does not work across downtime; there is always an ice belt after downtime—a new one or the leftovers of a not finished one before the downtime. Also unlike [[Asteroids and ore#Asteroid belts|asteroid belts]], ice belts are a type of [[Cosmic Anomaly]], meaning that they will appear in a different location in the star system every time they respawn, and can be found using a ship's onboard scanner, though they do not require [[Probe scanning|scan probes]] to find. | |||

The best sub-capital | Like asteroid ore, unrefined ice takes up a large amount of space and can therefore be time-consuming to transport.

In contrast with ore mining, all ice mining modules mine exactly one unit (1000 | In contrast with ore mining, all ice mining modules mine exactly one unit (1000{{m3}}) of ice per cycle; therefore, the only way to increase your mining efficiency is to decrease your modules' cycle time. This can be done by training skills (see above), installing more advanced [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#Ice miners|ice mining]] and [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#Mining laser upgrades and ice harvester upgrades|mining upgrade modules]], fitting [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#Ice harvester accelerator|Ice Harvester Accelerator]] rigs, flying more advanced ships (Exhumers instead of Mining Barges), or using [[implants]] (the IH-100x Inherent Implants 'Yeti' Ice Harvesting series).

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 nothing). [[Mining#Survey scanner|Using a survey scanner]] can be very helpful, as you can see how much ice is left in each asteroid. | 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.
