ICE harvesting Drone 1 = 50 Mbit/sec
Ice harvesting drone 2 = 50 Mbit/sec
"ecxavator" Ice harvesting drone = 25 Mbit/sec


how so?

I agree. It's weird, when you compare the size of the drones.

Also, the ore drone mining bonus on the orca is 100%, while the ice drone harvesting cycle bonus only is 25%, wich should be 50% to make it equal.

But i think i know the reason for that.


A fully skilled orca pilot with a max fitted mining orca will make 1 block ice with 1 ice harv drone II in around 49 sec + drone travel time. Still 51 sec., if you stay close to the rock because of the drone orbiting the rock.

A fully skilled and max fitted skiff or mackinaw without ice harv drone will make 2 blocks in around 76 sec, with max boost around 45 sec.

If you give the orca a second ice harv drone, it will be the best single player mining boot. The mackinaw will vanish and code will have to invest a lot more into their ganking fleets. Cool And think CCP don't want that.

If the orca comes and stays like it is right now on sisi, i still suspect to see a lot of single mining orcas in the belts. But less effective then macks. So, more ice for activ miners. Big smile
