♦ Mining

---

Pristine Ice is best mined 11k above the ecliptic plane, at about 22k from Oceana, in sector 5D.

DSE Rhino freighters with Light Mining Arrays in slots 4-8 are ideally suited to mine the ice at optimal speed, extracting about 5k ice in the time it takes a transport to travel from the ice field to Oceana and back, leaving the the ice drifting in space, ready to be tractored in by the transport on arrival.

Miners who prefer working alone can alternatively use a DSE Hegemon Asteroid Miner with Heavy Mining Arrays in slots 1-4, and use its cargo space to haul ice to Oceana itself, albeit with lower profit and efficiency than a team.

Rhinos are available on Planet Manhattan, and Hegemon Asteroid Miners on Planet London, Planet Pittsburgh (New York), and Valley Forge Flight School (Pennsylvania).

Our local DSE representatives can provide you with DSE IDs and mining arrays if needed.

♦ Ice Mining vs Trading Profits

---

Oceana Shipping Platform currently buys and sells Pristine Ice for 3000 credits per unit.

This leads to a profit of 83299 c/s for a Mining Freighter + 5k Transport duo working together (41600 c/s each if they split equally) selling their ice to Oceana.

A Hegemon Asteroid Miner working alone will make 24800 c/s because of smaller cargo and slower mining.

5k Transports buying Pristine Ice from Oceana and shipping it to Nauru in Omicron Delta make 32900 c/s on the one way trip. Similar profit on the way back is made by buying Iridium Ore and selling it to Sabah Shipyard in Coronado.

5k transports who ship the ice to Planet Miura in Okinawa or Planet Metz in Lorraine make 30000 c/s one way.

Non-minable trade commodities rarely go above 12000 c/s profit.
