Title: Ice Mining Skills
Post by: Mangala on January 04, 2009, 10:41:09 AM
Which characters out of the mining focused ones we have are skilled for this or are skilling towards this?

So far I know Ammik can Ice Mine and will be moving her to Kamio/Halaima to setup a place there, since its Caldari space the Ice will help with Port Robinson's upkeep.

I got a Hulk and i got some ice miners with upgrades, but last time i tried finding a icefield near Anttiri i couldnt find one even tho i was sure i had seen one. :s
But say where to go and if there is a need for ice and i could see about mining some. :)

Kamio & Halaima are the closest belts according to the EVE Maps books :) (2-3 jumps out of Anttiri)

Oh its not THAT bad...
If i go ice mining i usually log onto Noj on the laptop and do something else on the main computer. You dont have to watch the screen as much as when mining normal ore. :)
(In the past i have also spent almost a whole weekend just mining ice solo, but that was while i was still crazy about mining  :D )

Just bought Ammik a Mackinaw :)

I'd be willing to subsidise other peoples (pay a percentage of the cost) should people be willing to provide a percentage of ice mined to KASEI (could then sell the rest to the market) :)

Not that I would be able to do that but how much ice are we talking about? I mean how much will KASEI need?

I'll have numbers in a day or so.  Need to work on a couple of things first.

We'll need isotopes for cap ships and liquid o for cyno fields also.
Both also sell well in 0.0 - both for cap ships and running towers - so it'll be worthwhile to stockpile any surplus.

I take it specific isotopes for specific racial ships? As it is for POS's currently?

Liquid Ozone comes from any type so thats always a bonus.

Aye - racial specific isotopes.

With ice mining - would be better to do a corp op - we can benefit from the bonuses of the orca's and it's waaaaay more interesting as a group.
The orcas will come in handy with the cargo space - ice takes up so much damn space.

What is the minimum skills and gear needed to mine Ice? Swuliina could read the Ice Harvesting skill book, but I presumer Ice Harvesting I and a Bantam isn't exactly the bare minimum to actually mine anything :P ?
Title: Re: Ice Mining Skills
Post by: Dlarah on January 04, 2009, 06:49:10 PM
You would need a Mining barge to fit the ice harvester modules.
The harvester modules require Mining lvl 4 and ice harvesting 1 to use. Ice harvester upgrades requires mining 4 and mining upgrades 1.

Ill be adding ice mining to Chalcs mining skills list for around march time. Her training is fully booked until then. Eventually she will be able to mine and process anything and everything. She will be purely mining though. no manufacturing / hauling or combat.  :'(

Epsillon has Harvesting but not Processing - I just need to grab & fit a Mack.

Where's the nearest Ice Belt?

I could consider making an ice mining alt, would be on the same account as Hrod though so it would have to wait until i have a cruiser and some skills for that (Sunday or Monday I would suspect to have a Stabber depending on funds).
About 2 weeks I think it would take to get into the medium mining barge.

Swuliina will have the skill to fly a Mining Barge next Wednesday, and will have Ice Harvesting 1 then too. Just need to find a Mining Barge and the harvesters  ;D

About 3 weeks for Myene, she is on astrogeology V at the moment.

Make sure it is the second tier barge, more useful for mining since the first one is rubbish.

That is needed for ice mining? Dang, then I surely won't be able to mine ice next Wednesday... I thought Mining Barge I  and and Ice Harvesting I were the bare minimums to get into the business, and I'd be able to train the skills better while taking part in the mining operations :(

The Covetor would be available for Swuliina some time late March, so if that is what is needed, then I won't be available for ice harvesting in a looong time...

Eh? sure? If I make a brand new char it would take 15 days according to evemon to get to the retriever which is the second tier one, the covetor is third tier.

Ok, I may be confused with tier and tech and level and whatnots... So, just to be sure:

Procurer is tier one and I should not touch it. I woud be able to fly one next Wednesday.
Retriever is tier two and is good. I would be able to fly one next week on Sunday.
Covetor is tier three and takes a godawful long time to get but is really worth it in the long term.

So, I should stay clear of the Procure?

From what I understand yes. For normal mining the retriever is decent, some battleships still outmine it but they can't mine ice. The procurer can only mount one strip miner and apparantly (going by the mining guide so anyone feel free to correct me) that means it mines worse than the mining cruiser.

Ok, thanks again Peo :)

Sorry, what I meant to say was:

Myene's currently in the middle of Astrogeology V, which is a 10d remaining training.
After that, she'll work on Spaceship Command for the three pips required to get her to Covetor.
She could train to fly retriever first - I'll plug it into EveMon when I get home tonight ;-)

I have a covetor and a retriever. ( i got them as a done deal together which saved me around 25 mill on the seperate prices   ;D) Both will be available for others to use around the end of february when my mining alt goes into a hulk.
I don't intend to sell either of them and will keep them for corp use. So dont go spending huge amounts on advance buying them if you are currently training towards a mining barge.

Santola is just a few jumps away, has 2 ice fields and is 0.8 sec.
Not looked their yet but could be a possible site for White Glaze
Title: Re: Ice Mining Skills
Post by: Mangala on January 13, 2009, 07:16:51 PM
No ice there anymore - CCP let ice in 0.8 and higher vanish after it got mined out. Ice is now only found in 0.7 and lower. 

As for would it have been White Glaze - yes it would as Santola is Caldari space :)
Title: Re: Ice Mining Skills
Post by: Rubino on January 13, 2009, 07:23:52 PM
Humm - ok.

Kamio is 0.7 and 3 jumps away
Halaima is 0.6 and 4 jumps
Juunigaishi is 0.6 and 1 jump

All however have 1 Ice Belt.
Title: Re: Ice Mining Skills
Post by: Mangala on January 13, 2009, 07:26:51 PM
Junni also lot its one - was removed a few patches back (Ive lived in that area along time :D) - although not sure why it did, Kamio and Halaima on the otherhand still have the belts there.
