Hello miners,
I am looking for an advice. The other day i was paying a visit with my Covetor to an ice belt and found competition quite fierce. However what shocked me the most was another fellow capsuleer who having same ship as mine managed to cycle his ice harvester twice in one my cycle.

I just wonder how is that possible???
me:
mining - 5
astrogeology-4
ice upgrades -0
fleet boost -0
implants-0
covetor with 2x ice harvesters I, no rigs.

I am not well trained, but i expected the difference to be less than 100%.
Any ideas are welcome how to improve my hobby mining.

What level mining barge?
Why don't you have rigs on and what is your fit?

I'd crunch the numbers with EFT if I were you, see what's achievable or not.
I agree a 1:2 ratio looks a bit surreal but... you can never be too sure.



PS : I retrieved the link from the E-Uni's website ;)

Max Orca booster: -32.34375% cycle reduction

This translates to: +47.8% more ice.

All ice bonuses are cycle reductions, and many of them multiply so with everything going I could see max skills+t2 harvester+boosts+rig+t2 ice harvester upgrade(s) getting close to half the cycle time.

This plus a couple mining laser upgrades and ice mining implants and ice mining rigs and better skills, probably gets pretty damn close to 2x the speed.

Thank you all!
Actually i played a bit with EFT (i am ******** enough to not know how to use it effectively) and also got some results close to +100% more throughput of ice collection.

Then 2 days later i realized that i was not in Covetor but Retriever. I apologize for trolling the forum. It was unintentional. And good lesson to me.
