Summary (click me!)
General
Ice fields spawn in volatile storms in HS, LS and NS. 7 units of a particular space's ore (can't turn in ice from HS at a LS site for example) have to be traded at the belt's local Orca for a box of loot.
LS boxes are assumed to be the most valuable ones, followed by NS and then HS.
One can acquire upgraded boxes by turning in Cryograph- items (dropped by Yoiul LADs).
| Space | Anomaly | Cryograph- item for upgraded boxes |
| HS | Fading Volatile Ice Field | Cryograph Diffractor |
| LS | Fresh Volatile Ice Field | Cryograph Resolver |
| NS | Friable Volatile Ice Field | Cryograph Exactor |
Rocks in a particular anomaly respawn ONCE, 3060 minutes after their initial depletion. This requires one ship to remain on grid after the belt has been initially mined out, otherwise the belt despawns. So, each ice anomaly can be mined twice, the entry in the probe window vanishes after the first depletion though.
