Gas huffing can be a fun change of pace in exploration, which is why exploration is so great in the first place! You might find a DED site, a relic / data site, a wormhole, or gas, and you can do whatever sounds fun that day. The thought of logging in to stare at the same ice belt in the same system day after day with a huge investment in ships to make a tiny amount of ISK sounds like a punishment rather than something I'd want to spend my free time doing.
To get an orca booster fully trained to be good will take about a year including all the extras you need e.g fitting and industry core etc, 2 years to really round out a boosting orca ice miner
@@Expedishun Just remember get the implant and the syndicate scoops So much faster. I know a fella uses Gnosis with scoops and 2 covs insane how fast he clears a gas cloud
Yea, I use the Buzzard or the Astero for scanning then jump into a Prospect. What you can do if you’re travelling for it is, bring a mobile depot with probe launcher and use the prospect for it alp
wiki.eveuniversity.org/Gas_cloud_harvesting check out this site. It has the locations for each gas cloud, find the one in your region. You will need to scan it down across multiple systems
Please don't tell me he is just figuring this out now lol When your ready to be a big boy put them syndicate scoops on your Cov and Get out your Porp. LS all the way ! Also If your in a LS corp they probably run a system that has ice, like we do. Then you mine the hell out of it too
As someone who is a solo player, getting a Cov and Porp into low sec, just seems like Suicide for me. I prefer to take in the Prospect so I can get in and out fast

And then you get someone with 20 alts quickly swallowing all the ice.
Gas I do in my free time, for this reason specifically. If and when Im in work, I will do Ice mining, because it doesn't require a lot of input
@@SaintLiam3000 The amount of Omega those people go through is insane

Whole-heartedly agree gas way before ice.
Good timing on the gas stuff, just getting into again atm. Cheers
Gas is so lucrative, especially due to how fast it can be huffed!

Do you need to scan a gas site in a different (scanning) ship?

Love your play style!
I appreciate that!
Interesting orca fit. Whats your EHP on that? I gank my orca to 1.4 mil vs Antimatter / Torps.
If I'm honest, I am not sure. I sold the Orca, as no longer doing any form of Ice mining
can you help me out. i can't find gas sites in my low sec region. any suggestions?

i fly an Ice Mining fleet.. 1 Orca 3 Hulks and 6 Macks :D clears an ice belt in a little over 2hrs :D
You must go through some amount of Omega to keep all that running haha
@@Expedishun the orca is subbed til 2027..the Exhumers til 2025.. i mix ice mining with homefronts.. 🤘🤘
i don't...but it gives me peace of mind knowing that even if im not playing the skill training continues.@@niemand123

Is that little fleet able to pay,if you wanted, for everyone’s omega?
only 5 toons running homefronts can pay for all those toons Omegas twice over :) @@maggoteye87
Nice video

@@Expedishun yeah def wouldn't recommend need a little corp if your really wanting to mine ice, but then you can huff LS gas as well
I do only 320 and 540 and I buy the rest to make t3's
I just sell it all, I dont use it for anything other than ISK
Haha yeah you can’t even use ice mining equipment without omega it is physically impossible
