There is no problem with the supply of ICE products on the market.
Rather than mine ICE.
I mine Scord/Kern... Make twice as much as I would mining for Amarr Ice.
Sell the minerals, then buy the ice products
 Quote:
Are you dense? See all the previous comments regarding mineral prices that are capped by NPC supply.
They are actually inflation control mechanisms.
Price rises in EVE are largely due to inflation... If prices rise too much there needs to be a way to get that money out of the market. That's what those items do. People buy from npc's to refine into Trit. All of the money they spend on NPC's leave the market entirely.
I beleive that's the whole point of anything being NPC sold.

It was a generally bad week for math for most of us, but to clarify the max possible ice mining per hour, with full gang and implants bonuses, it would be:
500 sec * 1.25 * 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.95^2 * 0.775 * 0.95 ~= 233 sec
base cycle * Mackinaw * Exhumer V * Harvesting V * IHU x 2 * Full gang * Yeti II
Which comes out to ~ 15.41 cycles per hour or 61 cubes rounded down. That's it. My numbers were off in my initial statement, so my apologies on that.
The maximum cycle time possible.
With maxed out skills is 245.90, about 60units of ice per hour.

If you think your formula is correct, you might want to post to make your formula heard!
That's a lot of training/money/effort to barely beat scordite in a covetor!.
But if you are using the maxed out figures. You have to use the maxed out mining figures ;)
WITHOUT Taking drones into consideration, and assuming the hulk pilot uses a proper mining timer so near 0% waste occurs. A maxed out hulk pilot with CS Ship/Gang Bonuses will produce make
2347.48m3/minute
And then you have to add in what you drones bring in.... etc, you see where I'm going.
In the end it doesn't matter.
Ice isn't worthwhile right now as a career. But I do mine it. You know... when I have better things to do. Like vaccum the floors and doing some dishes. Since I only have to switch the jet cans twice an hour.
Empire Ore > Empire Ice.
0.0 Ore > 0.0 Ice
Ice needs more uses ingame TBH.
