take it you're seeing far too many of them where you are :D

Nope. The old MWD trick seems to work a treat.
They really thought this little ship through!


They sound like tough little critters, wish you all the best with ridding yourself of the Venture infestation (sounds nasty to me)....

I don't mean to sound at all rude, but what is it with you and making your posts in italics? Big smile

EDIT: The Ventures are awesome. They can get 3.5km/s with a basic heated MWD, with Skill Level 3 and otherwise poor skills. If they were fully skilled and with implants... they'd be really quite quick.


Didn't think anyone noticed that tbh.
No offence taken, one post for you without italics :)
Happy xmas!!

Once the Venture starts mining [lowsec] ores, what can you expect the income/hr to be? Surely not better than mining highsec in a Hulk?

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

You can mine things besides ore that are worth way more money. Gas clouds for example.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

WH would be way more profitable and safe for gas, eventually noobs will realize they can easily scan a WH and mine it, or better yet, find a null WH. who knows... people might start popping pills again.

noobs daring to go to low... what has science done!

is there a way to make everyone happy for god sake in EvE?

low-sec is getting slowly populated, ore could become cheaper and more ships can be build for more mayhem.

people please stop crying before the almighty CCP nerf something new...

Good question Siigari. I am using my Venture mostly in HiSec as I am new and trying out all sorts of things in EVE. But here is a rough estimate on what I can pull down in HiSec with only Rats and fellow miners as a concern:

Using 2 Mining Laser II at a rate of 190m3/minute it takes 14 cycles (7 per laser) to fill the Ore Hold. Add the occasional break for changing asteroids and interruptions for rats and I find that it takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes to make 1 "run" to fill my Venture, depending greatly on whether it's Veldspar at .1 volume or Plagioclase at .35 volume. Lately, I have been bringing in between 700k - 900k ISK depending on the price regardless of the ore type. Of course you have to add total time out and back as well, so maybe 750K per hour on the low side? Do we include just the time needed to mine or the whole process?

As far as LowSec goes- pure conjecture as I have only done it once in a Catalyst and got my *** handed to me. But going through the exercise- I would think a healthy increase of around 25-50% in time required by a Venture pilot just playing the avoidance game. After all, the point of being in LowSec is moot if you can't manage to get back out again and reap the rewards. That means fitting a cloak and some of the other avoidance gear peeps have mentioned above.

Second, the ores are a bit bigger volume-wise (Kernite 1.2, Jaspet 2, Hemorphite/Hedergite 3), so there is a reduction in time required to fill that 5000m3 ore hold in LowSec, but whether it will be worth it? Something tells me that practical experience would show that the risk in LowSec ends up being a bit too much compared to HiSec- considering your Venture and gear along with your implants is much more likely to end up as space pixels.

Then again, maybe my math is all wrong! I always did stink at math... Oops

Nippy little bugg3rs.

What’s your preferred technique for swatting them at gates and catching them in belts before they do one?

Dunno what are you complaining about. Isnt that a "traffic buff" for low you guys always wanted?

Poasting again in another low sec needs more easy targets thread.

I will tell you that those little ventures must have a really low sig radius. Hard to hit.

Nuke em from orbit....it's the only way to be sure.

Leave the poor things alone. Let them get fat, rich & lazy, and wait till they bring out their Mack, then pop that, and make them go back to the venture.
I.E. let them breed!

The way to destroy the Venture is this:

1. Complain about them on the forums until they are nerfed.
2. Profit?

no no, to destroy the venture you shoot at it. preferably with one of the many types of weapon provided by EVE online.




indeed quite the shocking revelation.

Now that's the best reply so far in the whole thread!
I hadn't thought of that.

Insta. Locking. 'Nado.
Edit: You can really crank some mean EHP out of these little submarines. In a test fit I got 6.5k using a MSE and an invuln with a DC in the low, along with extender rigs.

I'll take 2 carebears to go, with extra tears

No but way more fun, takes about 2 months less to fit well, and if you die it's minimal loss.

One of the coolest ships CCP has ever made.
