→Ice Mining Mechanics: added a brief blurb about mining drones, I'll have to use them before I can write more useful things :) |

Exhumers are straight upgrades from their Mining Barge counterparts, and the same reflections hold true for them. One small difference is that both the [[Skiff]] and the [[Mackinaw]] get a smaller (2%) reduction to ice harvester cycle time per level of {{sk|Exhumers|icon=yes}} (the [[Hulk]] gets a 3% reduction per skill level). The [[skiff]] also gets an additional low slot giving all three Exhumer three low slots, unlike it's Barge counterpart the [[Procurer]] | Exhumers are straight upgrades from their Mining Barge counterparts, and the same reflections hold true for them.

There are ice mining drones, but they use considerably more bandwidth and drone bay space than their ore mining counterparts (50 vs 5 m<sup>3</sup> / Mbit/s), so they can only be flown by Exhumers and the Covetor (who can fly one drone at a time). | |||
