I've been asked how much I'd be willing to pay to see someone do it. I was curious if the colossal endeavour of actually making an ice roid pop (in this case dark glitter 90k unit roid) has ever been done?

If they respawn every downtime, I don't think it would be feasible. The trick would be managing to mine it out before the next downtime. If you start off with a 90k roid and each pilot mines two units every 8 minutes, that'd give 6000 manhours. To get that done before downtime on a normal 23-hour day would require over 260 pilots.
Do they respawn every downtime? Anyone know?

a mack pilot will do 4 units per 6-8 minutes, depending on skills and fittings. a covetor would do 3 units in similar time.
but... Good luck >.>

It would be interesting to test, but its 100% sure someone would fly a smartbombing Battleship into the cluster.

Plenty were popped when the belts were removed from 0.8+ as they just stopped respawning them there afaik.

yup. Can be done, has been done.
I has fond memories from before I was a Dev with a crew of Alliance members and about 60+ macks killing a roid in deep 0.0 .... much ice for the after event party and drinks.
Very nasty hang-overs afterwards ....

Those characters where all deleted when I became a Dev. My corp/alliance mates had strong opinions about dev involvement. So rather than lie to them I told them goodbye and deleted the characters .... They know who I was and we still have a beer at fanfest and chat on other forums ...
It is the sacrifices that you sometimes have to make.

From what I have gathered from the announcement at the time, ice belt have stopped respawning in all high sec more than a year ago, while those in 0.8+ have been manually deleted, not depleted.

I believe in another thread you pretty much said who you were, at least unique game item-wise.

I wish that the other asteroids were just as resilient as the is roids. Or atleast make the ice last as long as all the other belts. Seems like mining in empire is slowly coming to an end in eve. Ice is virtualy (no pun intented) non-profitable, atleast where Im at. All the roids in and around duripant to ashokon and from stayme to duripant are nothing more than pebbels at best. At least I can "loot" mine (hmm wonder if i coined a new phrase) atleast until the loot dries up also. Oh well. Question is will CCP decide to re-adjust the respawns on the roids. So that they will respawn at a faster rate? Or will we just stay stuck with the status quoe, and deal with the bi monthly respawn rates.

Honestly, I don't know. I have been playing since march 2004 and had multiple accounts through most of that ...

Does Ice respawn in 0.7 and lower? Seeing how big your average ice belt is... ------------------------

If I remember correctly Ice Belts don't repopulate in empire. I vaguely remember an EVE-News story about one belt that was killed in empire space. The sword can only strike one enemy at a time, but tactics can defeat ten thousand men at once. |

they still respawn in Empire, they just turned off all the 0.9 and 1.0 Ice belts, because people were macroing them since there are no belt NPC's, thus no risk.
Ice still respawns from 0.7 space and lower.
