I am confused on what the actual purpose of the new Prospect frigate is. Can you please fill me in?

Yes abc mining and ontop of that AFK cloaking!

With this boat you can crush all of nullsec just by being present, cloaked and make people cry in the forums about how bad they feel about afk cloaking.

Do it and become a legend.

Not only is it great for mining in low and null, its also great for frustrating CODE in hisec.

To give AFK cloakers something else to do besides **** off everyone else in local...while still being able to **** off everyone else in local.

Why would you use the Prospect in high sec when the Procurer is harder, better, faster, stronger...

This is the most code compliant mining ship yet!

Don't get me started on how great it is for enforcement.

apparently only ninja mining, but that's hardly profitable. it cant do anything else since its ship type "expedition frigate" is not allowed to use almost any acceleration gate.

A thousand points for you for the reference, two thousand negative points for it being tainted by Kanye.

I trained it out of curiosity, and so far it has turned out to be just that: a curiosity. I could potentially see it being useful for probing down wormholes and doing a little ninja-gas-mining, or taking advantage of a BLOPs covert jump bridge, but otherwise it's just a more expensive Venture.

Because a prospect is faster and can vanish the moment CODE lands on grid. Your not mining without orbiting are you? However a Skiff can be quite hard to gank as well if fit and flown properly.

It's much much better than the venture for ninja gassing!

Although it doesn't do it any faster, it has the fantastic ability to hold twice the gas. That means half of the jumps back and forth saving a lot of time and annoyance.

It can also fit a much more useful tank (with shield recharge mods in the lows) for having ago and the rarer nullsec gas spawns that tend to hit you for damage.

I think Cov-Ops Mining with Black Ops, in null sec.
I am about to ask, where do you find Gas sites.
I am searching for it here and in the (Science &) Industry Forums.
