Ice harvesting skill 5
Coverter with 3 ice harvesters, or the new ice harvesting exhumer, with 2 lasers but a 40% bonus...
And, in a perfect world, how much would the exhumer mine - as the coverter can do 24 units an hour...

I say the Exhumer will mine less ice than the Coveter.
(these figs are made up, but that doesnt matter as we are looking at the percentages.)
1xStrip Miner = 1000 units of ice per time period, so.. 3=3000 per time unit.
2=2000+40%=2800 per time period.
Are the skills LESS for the new Ice Miner ship compared to the Large Barge? If so then they are prolly worth it.

I've got an idea--an idea so smart that my head would explode if I even began to know what I'm talking about

the exhumer is the fastest ice miner now its 40% faster, not 40% more
so your cycle time will be (ignoring ice skill) 10 min for covertor vs 6 min for exhumer 3 every 10 in , vs 2 every 6
meaning after 30 min their cycles will be in sync again 9(3x3) mined for the covertor vs 10(5x2) for the exhumer
exhumer got even a slight bonus of 3% per level if i recall correctly (can't check atm) so it defenitly will win then

So so here is the full calculations
Ice Harvesting 5 = -25% cycle time Ice Miner II's = 400 Sec cycle time Thus, it is a 300 sec cycle time default. Now thats out of the way,
Covetor x 3 Ice Miners II's
= 3 Turrets x 300sec = 3 units every 5 mins.
Ice Exhumer = - 40% cycle time = 300 - 120 (40%) = 180seconds
= 2 Turrets x 180sec = 2 units every 3 mins.
Thus after 15 mins
Covetor has 9 units. Ice Exhumer has 10 Units.
So The Ice Exhumer is better if you are mining for 15 mins or more. Otherwise a Covetor is better. Hang on, What about the exhuners skills? I will edit this post later when I check that up --- Order Now!

do not forget, the exhumer also gets a 3& reduction in ice cycle time per level in Exhumer.
The medium Enchumer will out icemine the Covetor, but not the heavy exhumer

Originally by: Rafein do not forget, the exhumer also gets a 3& reduction in ice cycle time per level in Exhumer.

Lets compare the stats then
Heavy Exhumer = 3 Turrets with 300 Sec cycle (Ice Skill at 5, t2 Turret) so it is 1 ice every 100 sec on average. But with exhumer skill at 5, that is a 100-15% = 75sec for each unit of ice.
Med Exhumer = 2 Turret with 153 second cycle time as discussed in my previous post. That leaves a total of 1 ice per 76.5 seconds
So there you have it folks!!!
Best Ice Harvester is the Huge Exhumer with 1.5 seconds less per each unit of ice.!! (Unless you are mining for exactly 153 seconds, in which case the Medium Exhumer is infinatly better) --- Order Now!

i believe theres a new mod that reduces the cycle time on mining lasers does this work on ice miners as well?
