Volatile Ice Field anomalies | Volatile Ice Field anomalies can also be discovered within Volatile Ice Storms. These fields of stellar ice have been captured by ORE and Mordu's Legion forces who have driven away the Sansha harvesting fleets. These ice fields can be accessed through a special ORE-commandeered acceleration gate that only allows medium and small mining and hauling ships to enter ([[Venture]] and variants, [[Pioneer]] and variants, [[Expedition Frigates]], [[Mining Barges]], [[Exhumers]], [[Haulers]], [[Blockade Runners]], [[Deep Space Transports]], [[Noctis]], [[Outrider]] and the [[Porpoise]], but '''not''' the Upwell haulers [[Squall]], [[Deluge]], or [[Torrent]]). | ||
The volatile ice found within these fields cannot be reprocessed by standard facilities, however Outer Ring Excavations has set up mobile ice collection operations within each of these ice fields, and is willing to trade with capsuleers who contribute to their mining operation. Capsuleers can trade seven units of volatile ice with the ORE representatives in the ice fields to receive a package of valuable salvage and items that ORE forces collected from the wrecks of Sansha ships. | The volatile ice found within these fields cannot be reprocessed by standard facilities, however Outer Ring Excavations has set up mobile ice collection operations within each of these ice fields, and is willing to trade with capsuleers who contribute to their mining operation.
