How about making the respawn time semi random, like 3.5-4.5 hours to increase variance and give players more chances without forcing them to exactly plan their time ("I have to be back in exactly 4 hours to not miss the new belt").
it is semi-random, its 4 hours after the belt is depleted, not every 4 hours on the clock.

I think what amuses me the most is that the "culture" of afk en-mass ice-mining is only a recent bi-product of the mining barge buff last August (less than a year ago). Throw in the very recent "freighter-mining", and these people start crying about taking something away they just started. Just in the last couple weeks miners in the belt has DOUBLED (first time in forever!)
As someone who supports his own POS towers, I have very little sympathy for people who have to revert to pre-August levels of ice mining. I'll still be in the ice belts, still slaving away at PI and POS fuel blocks after June 4th.
What I am most curious about is how badly "bumping" will be to control those who want to cartel the ice (which would be awesome if someone had the time/effort). Everything CCP is doing still fits the "sandbox model" and I am thankful for it. 
+1 CCP Fozzie!

Jita Bloodtear wrote:What numbers are you using to calculate our ice need?
Firstly, since high-sec does not need JB fuel, I am going to toss those numbers.
Secondly, you are talking about racial ice and not dark glitter or krystallos which would cover those needs.
Thirdly, racial ice is only 300 topes, 25 LO, 50 HW, 1 Stront. Painfully short of LO/HW to even support basic POS fuel blocks. Extra topes are sold to buy LO/HW and make the blocks. I am going to assume you know this.
So please re-do your math(s).

They get rats just like normal asteroid belts, I have confirmed this with my enyo on Sisi.

The tragedy of ice miners right now is that they are all convinced that prices will dramatically increase after patch. What they don't know is that it wont. Just as the 1637 Dutch Tulip mania crash left many in ruin. The price will continue to rise to patch day and then continue to peak and drop like a rock. Those not selling their isotopes now will be left with less isk than if they sold during the price ramp up. Believe me, the price bubble will burst.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. *cough*housingcrisis*cough*

I can't wait around Sigga all night for a ice belt to spawn. Ice mining was my anti-stress routine at night. I'm yet to smell an ice spawn in Sigga.  Im now forced to scale down my eve playing to 3 accounts thanks to this. I can't maintain two posses anymore so Im pulling down my Wormhole pos.... not happy.... I am a wormholer.   PS.. I still go dizzy jumping gates... love it!!!
I have only 1 account and I support 3 pos towers - what are you doing wrong?
Do you not have any corpmates to help with the ice mining or something? We have ice to last through December at this rate.
Eve solo is always a bad idea my friend.
