Hence we can all agree it's an important difference, which becomes even more important
Mining Foreman Link - Ice Harvesting: Ok so we know your cycle time will be reduced by 22.5%, but how many extra cycles do that give Knight gold? Again, the math to the rescue:
500 sec * 1.25 * 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.95^2 * 0.775 = 245.90 sec
Roughly this means almost 15 cycles per hour, which is 4 extra cycles. Here's our edited table from section 9:
And our original table from section 9, for comparison's sake: As you see the Mackinaw will roughly mine 16 extra ice units per hour. Hence we can all agree it's an important difference, which becomes even more important when a whole group of Mackinaw attach an ice belt! And now on to the good stuff...
Roughly, one unit of Mercoxit will refine into two units of Morphite, and at the time of release of this guide, one unit of Morphite goes for around 15 000 ISK/unit give or take.
So we do the math and end up at a ISK/hour ratio of 49,200,000.00 ISK/hour. It's definitely not bad, especially for such a cheap ship (20mil ISK in Jita at the time of release of this guide).
We already know this is a 29% increase over our pimped Hulk, so no surprises there. How about our retriever from the very beginning?
Well, it's a 254, 99% increase! Yes, you read right... amazing how efficient we can become when we know how everything works!
