Ice Mining extraordinaire

Using max mining mods on hulks, in 2 hours 45 minutes my team is able to extract 390 clear icicles and profit to the tune of 163 million isk. (that works out to 59m isk/hr)

SOLO ORE MINING
xin's mega: 8.93 m3/s (no fleet boost)
warf's retriever: 18.71m3/s (no fleet boost)
FLEET ICE MINING
below assumes lvl 4 exhumer and fleet orca boosting

ice hulk (notank): 19.67m3/s
ice mack (ice mods): 17.21m3/s
ice skiff (ice mods):  15.66m3/s
ice skiff (tank): 12.54m3/s
ice retriever (warf): 12.52m3/s

 Market Index for domain region (highest buy/volume)

This translates to xin making 6.6m isk/hr (plain scordite); warf  13.8m isk/hr (plain scordite), or 8.9m isk/hr (icicles)...one could boost that by up to 10% if massive scordite could be mined exclusively.
my hulks make 14m isk/hr on icicles...in 2.75hrs my income at immediate sale is 77m for 2 hulks. If i wanted to go with skiffs instead (the ice mod ones) it would take 3 hours. It would take Warfdalic 8.65hrs to extract the 390 icicles required, and he'd obviously make 55% more iskies mining ore.
  1. I take that 390 Icicles, refine them and take straight to market making  85.4m isk...I also have planetary interaction materials that are worth 11.7m isk at Jita (buy orders); minus 1.6m isk in import/export taxes = total sale value 95.5m isk
  2. I take that 390 Icicles, refine them and skim off a giant secure can worth of heavy water (9750), liquid ozone (9750) and helium isotopes (26065) leaving surplus to sell at Jita for 61.5m isk. I take the three GSCs to my planetary interaction location and make 65 runs of Amarr Fuel Blocks which produces 2600 units. listing the sale at about, oh, 40.3m isk; minus 1.6m isk in import/export taxes = total 100m isk
  3. I take that 390 Icicles, refine them and skim off a giant secure can worth of heavy water (9750), liquid ozone (9750) and helium isotopes (26065) leaving surplus to sell at Jita for 61.5m isk. I take the three GSCs to my planetary interaction location and make 65 runs of Amarr Fuel Blocks which produces 2600 units. I then use those blocks to power an Amarr Medium Control Tower that's running alchemy reactions for Neo Mercurite for 130 hours. (i also need to replace 650 mercury lost in the process which costs 3m isk at Jita) ...130 unrefined neo mercurite processes into 5200 neo mercurite which sells at Jita for a profit of 104m isk; minus 1.6m isk in import/export taxes = total 161m isk
*note that this does not take into account the surplus P.I. materials.
390 Icicles make enough liquid ozone (9750) to make 2600 Amarr fuel blocks, with surplus ice products
