Ice harvesting: Difference between revisions

Line 160:

Like asteroid ore, unrefined ice takes up a large amount of space and can therefore be time-consuming to transport. The best sub-capital ship for transporting ice (and ore) is the [[Miasmos]], a Gallente industrial which can transport up to 63,000 m<sup>3</sup> (63 blocks, or about two loads from a [[Mackinaw]]) of ice. If you need to haul even larger quantities, it may be worth training to fly a [[freighter]] (which can hold over ten times as much), or to ship the ice by courier contract.

Like asteroids and ore, different types of ice spawn based on the racial [[Topology|quarters]] of space. Faction ice (both normal and enriched) will spawn only in that faction's quarter, while standard ice types are available in all lowsec and nullsec areas with the exception of {{co|slateblue|Dark Glitter}}, which does not spawn in the Gallente quarter. As with asteroids, more valuable ice spawns at lower security ratings, and each system can spawn all ice types of higher-security systems in the same quarter.
