Hi, I hope to start Ice mining next week and want to supply POSs in the most conveniet way. Ie. mine the ice, refine it and haul it to a safe empire point where it can be escrow'd. As I will be mining in empire I think the strontiun clathrates are out of the question but I hope to supply all power ans cpu needs.
Anyone interested in buying the full needs for 1 day, 1 week, or a month off me and I will deliver?

My large covetor could get 24 pieces of ice per hour once the skills are at 5 so I'll see what I get from refining it and then hauling to the location once I've got an idea how many hours mining Ineed to do.

thanks Karl. Looks like its still not very profitable to mine ice lol
Some more numbers:
ok so say I mine 24 pieces an hour then refine
Will take me roughly 41-42 hours to mine enough ice for a POS for a week. i.e. 23 hours x 7 days = 161 hours of pos powering at maximum.
then x this by all components needed:
Enriched Uranium = 4 x 161 = 644 pieces
Oxygen = 25 x 161 = 4025
Mechanical Parts 5 x 161 = 805
Coolant = 8 x 161 = 1288
Robotics = 1 x 161 = 161!
Isotopes (depending on race) = 500 x 161 = 80,500
Heavy Water = 150 x 161 = 24,150
Liquid Ozone = 150 x 161 = 24,150
Damn!
How much is that worth and is it really worth me mining it or should I mine me some veld instead?

Glad there is interest, just need to get some more covetors and retrievers to make it possible.

Well there is alot of interest but I suppose I need to pick a racial type of tower to mine for as only mined blue ice so far. Looks like as always the galente tower looks cool but doesn't have the best pg or cpu lol so I will have to move. It does look that I would be a mining monkey though. Most people seem to be offering 200k at most so not worth it.
