Ice Mining is the process of mining Ice Fields, commonly refered to as "Ice Belts". The cubes can then be sold or refined into fuel for [[Player Owned Structures]] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Jump_drive Capital Ship Jump Drives]. | Ice Mining is the process of mining Ice Fields, commonly refered to as "Ice Belts". The Odyssey patch changed the ice belts from permanent system features into anomalies that can be detected with the ship's scanner sensor overlay. | ||
These Ice Belt anomalies spawn in systems that used to have the permanent ice belts. One ice belt spawns after down time, and then once the ice asteroids have all been mined, a new ice belt will spawn exactly 4 hours after the belt was exhausted. | |||
A typical belt spawn is 10-20 ice asteroids each with 50-200 units of ice. | |||

Special modules are required for ice mining. Each cycle produces a single ice cube some 1,000m3 in size. | Special modules are required for ice mining. Each cycle produces a single ice cube some 1,000m3 in size. | ||
