Even the basic strip miner is a massive upgrade over mining lasers (the Strip Miner I mines almost five times as much as a Miner I). The tech 2 strip miner has a lower base yield than its tech 1 counterpart, but can fit mining crystals, which will give it up to 15% more yield (with tech 2 mining crystals). The Modulated Deep Core Strip Miner II is the only strip miner capable of mining Mercoxit, and the ORE Strip Miner is very rare, expensive, and not worth using.

=== Ice miners ===

These modules are used to [[Ice Mining|mine ice]] (surprise, surprise), and, like strip miners, can only be fitted to mining barges and exhumers. Unlike ore miners, ice miners all mine 1 unit (1000 m3) of ice per cycle; their distinguishing feature is the length of their cycle (a shorter cycle means more ice mined over time).

The Tech 2 ice miner has 20% more yield (240 m3/min) than its Tech 1 counterpart (200 m3/min), but requires more skill training. The ORE miner (available from the [[Outer Ring Excavations|ORE]] loyalty points store) is just as good as the Tech 2 miner, but it's very rare and expensive, and therefore it's worth investing the time to train Ice Harvesting to level V to use the Tech 2 version.

=== Gas cloud harvesters ===

Gas cloud miners are used to mine [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas clouds]], and can only be fit to ships with turrent slots (which means they cannot be fitted to mining barges or exhumers). For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud harvester (up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5 km (the shortest of any of the mining modules by quite a margin). Note that the table below lists yield per minute (to make it easier to compare modules), while most in-game sources will list yield per cycle.

The two meta 1 gas cloud harvesters have lower fitting requirements than the meta 0 module, however, even an average-skilled pilot should have no problem fitting a [[Venture]] with two meta 0 gas cloud harvesters. The tech 2 module has 50% more yield than its tech 1 counterparts, and is therefore a very worthwhile upgrade despite the long skill training time (and the slightly more demanding fitting - although it should still not cause problems for most miners). The Syndicate harvester (obtainable from the [[Intaki Syndicate]] LP store), is very rare, expensive, and almost never worth using unless you need every last drop of CPU fitting for other modules.
