Short-cycling comes in handy when mining asteroids with little ore left in them. If you used a [[Mining#Survey scanner|survey scanner]] to check how much ore is left, you can short-cycle your mining laser to harvest just that amount of ore, and therefore not waste the rest of the mining laser's cycle. This technique becomes particularly useful when using [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#Strip miners|strip miners]], as they have very high yields and long cycle time (and can therefore waste a lot of time when mining nearly-empty asteroids). Short-cycling is equally useful when [[Gas Cloud Mining|harvesting gas]], but should never be used while [[Ice Mining|ice mining]] (as ice miners only harvest 1 unit of ice per complete cycle; short-cycle your ice harvester, and you mine nothing). | Short-cycling comes in handy when mining asteroids with little ore left in them.
