I was looking up on the net about red ice. Now in the real world it does exist. Now in the game i am wondering. It would be found through out all of the ice fields in eve. Making it fair. I thought of this before i found out about the changes to the fleet boosting mods. Now to give the ice 104 units each of the 4 types of isotopes and about 35 liquid ozone and 2 to 4 units of strontium. Heavy water about 50. Now knowing this and high sec is based on these approx numbers. So low sec and nil sec space it would be more. Just not as much as the regular ice in the same belt. So do we just now d scan for it or do we have to scan the sites for the ice. ? That is a good question. What do you think anyone pm me and ccp please contact me as well fly safe everyone o/ Or do we mix it with the regular ice??JUst certain amounts being allowed at a given time the lower the sec stats the more there is from let's say 0.7 to 0.5 then changes to more in 0.4 to 0.1 and Null and WH space more but in WH space randomly but high sec I will leave that up to CCP

But why would we want an ice added to the game that contains all of the racial isotopes?

This is an idea that is 'cool' but has no interesting gameplay to it.

It's kind of a down side. I could see this "red ice" being a thing that only exists in anomalies or something, kinda like how you CAN technically get lower sec ores in higher sec space, but its not at all reliable and has no chance of distrupting the normal market.

The same could be true of this "red ice anomaly"

It's a random anom, so only a single, small spawn of ice, and on top of that you don't know what kind of isotopes are actually in there. It would give specialized ice miners another thing to do if their local belt is gone without totally screwing over the market maybe?

Bah, I came thinking this was the idea of turning corpses into harvestables.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

Kinda defeats the point of having racial isotopes.... only way I could see this being a thing is if it only spawned in shattered holes
