I'm pretty sure mack and skiff were the same on ice too, just the skiff cycled twice for the macks one cycle on two lasers. What it actually meant is a mack could start cycling to get the last block and a skiff could race in and mine that block out before the mack finished cycling.

What it actually meant is a mack could start cycling to get the last block and a skiff could race in and mine that block out before the mack finished cycling. Affraid not, The Skiff cycle time was about 40 seconds were the mack had about 60, so in 5 minutes of mining for example the skiff would get just shy of 8 where as the Mack would get 10, The longer you mined the better the Mack was. Not sure about ore mining though, Pretty sure the Mack still had alittle extra because of the extra laser, your talking tiny amounts tho. I don't mind that they mine the same, its more the fact that the Mack is useless as no one in the right mind would take something so weak in tank just to get alittle extra cargo. Atleast when it came to Ice mining the Mack had a slight edge over the Skiff but now there is no contest, Skiff is just better. All going from old memory right now, but I'm sure the skiffs bonuses made it exactly the same. Like i think they matched on all stats except the mackinaw had a 20% reduction while the skiff had a 60% reduction. That meant the mack had 2 harvesters at 80% of their native cycle time while skiff had one harvester at 40% of it's cycle time. And 8 v 10 is not a "slight edge", it's an extra 20%. What you're suggesting here is that skiffs ice yield has been boosted by 25% of it's old maximum which I very much fail to believe.
