EVE Online gas huffing calculator

Pick the ship and the scoops you fly and see which cloud pays best - per hour, at the market you sell to, with the residue each one burns.

How gas harvesting is worked out

  • Scoops on frigates and destroyers, harvesters on barges. A Venture or Prospect doubles scoop yield and Mining Frigate cuts the cycle by 5% a level; barges and exhumers cut harvester cycles instead.
  • Gas Cloud Harvesting allows one module per level - the calculator will not let you fit a third scoop with the skill at II.
  • No critical successes. The Catalyst crit mechanic does not apply to gas, so the yield per cycle is exactly what the module pulls.
  • Residue matters in wormholes. A Gas Cloud Scoop II wastes as much gas as it harvests in about a third of its cycles - your hold does not notice, the site does. The Syndicate and ORE modules waste nothing.
  • Boosts and implants - the Mining Laser Optimization burst shortens gas cycles just like ore cycles, and the Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' implants take another 1-5% off.

What it does not include

Travel and scanning time are left out, and so is the danger: sleepers arrive in wormhole gas sites after a while, and some cytoserocin clouds damage your ship each cycle. Prices come from one market - booster gas often sells better as a finished booster, which the production chain can price for you. Ore has its own calculator.
