Some days, I fly all 4 of my accounts into lowsec in cloaky stabbed mwd ventures. I dont mine anything, I just go from system to system, and laugh at the locals. Then I link some bpos or other treats in local, and tell the locals that I'm hauling them through. It gets them really excited. Then I just cloak up for a while.

So many tears.

Cool

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Miners are crazy.


Especially considering you get one for free from the industry career mission, second mission in the chain.

You can get over 7 mil for them, I even got 9 mil each for a batch of like 20.

And CCP gives them away for free? Frigging communists!

Nippy little b3ggers.

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


What bothers you about them? Too much of a threat?

So a +2 point is not enough to scram it?

Glad the topic was brought up cuase I have my eyes on a couple of venture bots.


Anyone got a kill they can link so we can see the fit?


venture kill

venture kill!

venture kill!!

Simple really, nano dram with +4 point of scram, all caught in belts. Pirate


And none of them had a cloak fitted. What if they did?


Nor did they have a warp core stabiliser either.

Venture is such a lovely ship!

I adore exploring and harvesting gas is lowsec and all the chasing with pirates just make it fun way of making some ISK. Today was really interesting -- my Venture was chased by nothing else but an Adrestia!

(In the same system was also a Vangel)

I am not a fan of rude talk in local, but asking the owner does he intend to harvest gas in Adrestia was priceless moment. :)

If I understand correctly, if you are aware of local and use d-scan properly, only a ship with cloaked warping ability might hurt you in Venture? And if you have additional WCS in Low, only stealth bomber is to be afraid of, right?

EDIT: Or a CovOp with more than one scram...

No it's heavy Dictors you really want to be careful of. And Interceptors.
But as soon as you see combat probes on Dscan, align out and safe up.

When I'm bored I try to one-shot them with a muninn at 100k.. or creep up close in a cloaky with a +3 point. Either strategy will work just fine and leave the victim satisfactorily bewildered.

That being said, a venture is hardly a worthy target.. unless they are mining gas.

How do those Ventures deal with belt rats. Two light drones seem hardly a match against a few BCs.

does Venture actually hold worthwhile amount of harvested gas in cargo hold? How much would it be (let's say the best gas)?

not only this....
- AFAIK gas clouds do damage to ships.
- not sure if clouds in WH are protected by sleepers or not.
How can Venture defend itself?

I suppose somewhere up to 5 mil for a full hold. Not much, but decent when compared to the cost of the single volley needed to loot it. Gas cloud harvester modules themselves also sell for a couple of mil each.

More folk need to go to lo-sec.

Oh no, more folk are going to lo-sec!

Use a heavy interdicter with a focused warp disruption script. It prevents anything from warping

People are mining in lowsec? And that's a *bad* thing? Good for them. I was starting to feel like I was the only one who did any sort of PvE in lowsec anymore. Now to go grab my Jag and have some fun...

Why is that a bad thing? Even us ninjas and gankers have always pointed out that Hulk pilots need to fit more tank/survivability in exchange for less yield. In the case of the Venture, it's built into the hull. Less yield and cargo capacity, but more survivability(In this case warp core stabilization and mobility). Seems a fair trade off to me. And if the bears are going into Lowsec I salute them. 90% of my income in eve is in lowsec, and it's ******* dead most of the time. It's nice to see some more people risking **** out there.

Though once they've made the move to mine in losec they're surely not bears any more Smile
