Talk:Ice harvesting guide
Hi
Was wondering does the shortest ice cycle time on this page takes into acount the use of the hardwire Inherent Implants Yeti BX-2 ? This give 5% decrase in Ice harvester cycle time. So is it 5.5 the fastest or if you use this hardwire is it 5.225?
Srry I wouldn't know.
Simply logged on to say that Mackinaws only have double yields to Strip Miners. Not Ice Harvesters. All barges yield the same with Hulks having the greatest yield due to exhumer bonuses.
Mackinaws are great cuz they can hold the most ice of the 3 barges. But these days, ice belt yanking is at an all-time high. Skiffs have mediocre bays and are gank-resistant (not gank-proof; just gank-resistant). They're one beam cycles triple efficiency (not yield) to match a Mackinaw, and closely meet the Hulk's time at level 1 exhumer skill. But the Hulk will always be on top, ore and ice. It just has a small bay and no tank which is meant for fleet activity.
If the editor can provide proof that the Mackinaw doubles yield for ice, please provide a reference source. Otherwise, plz hotfix. Btw, I've harvester cycle time for Mackinaws are NOT half-cycle to Hulks. Their 2/3rds cycle time (reduced 33.3%).
