I know it varies with the wh, but about roughly what is the isk/hr of mining gas in a wh with a ventrue?

Basically i'm trying to decide if scanning down ladar's in wh's I can find and ninja mining them is worth it :)

Not hard to figure out.

at 5 (mining frigate 5 and gas harvesting 5) a venture pulls in 160m3 of gas per minute.

This is a good link showing current gas prices. If you click on a gas you can see it's volume.

For example. A relatively common sub C5 ladar gas is C72. Jita buy is currently 4615. It has a volume of 2m3. So a venture will pull in 80units per minute or 369,200 isk per minute for about 22mil per hour. Now granted that isn't generally going to be a sustained number since at most a Ladar site has is 3000 units of C72, which will only take a venture 37 min to clear.

For the rest I'll let you do the math.

It differs per type of cloud.

On 1 cloud you have a full Ore bay worth 20mil isk and the other only 2mil isk to less

Unfortunately you're late to the game. C320 would be the item to ninja before the rats spawn. C320 is in instrumental cores and vital cores and are typicaly only found in C5 and C6 wormholes. You'll need 3-4 RR Tengus (3 is tough) to clear the rats. Prices have dropped with the venture (see new dev blog). At the current prices you'll probably average about 60-80 mil and hour. That includes scanning time.

With gas and ribbon prices dropping it's only a matter of time before we see T3 prices plumet. I don't see the balancing helping that either. Should be interesting how the market reacts in the coming months. Buy up those T2 ships.
