Horizons Ice ring mining issues?

aside from the fact that fragments in ice rings only carry half the amounts that I'm used to from metallic rings (and therefore make it even less attractive), when I ice mine an asteroid, my FPS drops from 60 to 40, then 30, then 20 and lowest I got it was 18.

This doesn't happen in metal rings or rocky rings.

Anyone else have this?

Yeah, experienced it as well. Also picked that on while mining at the sunny side - besides this fps drop or stuttering whatever -, mining laser beam becomes a tiny line without having any visual effect on it. This happens in cockpit view and sometimes in 3rd view too, depends on the angle and the main light source.

its the mining lasers i think, i get a constand 144fps everywhere, untill i fire my mininglasers.

happens both in metal rich and ice.
still dont see the use of mining in ice rings when my sell stations pays 73k for painite :D

Same, one of the first thing I noticed when I went ice mining. I have no prob with performance mining metal or rock rings. I think its related to the amount of debris that flies off the ice asteroid when you laser it. Seems to be a lot more of that stuff in ice rings.
