Is it possible to add more slots on venture ship (currently 2)? I can add two mining drones I in my venture.

no, you cannot expand the drone bay / available bandwidth.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

To be certain, you cannot change the slot layout of any of the ships, be it high slots, hardpoints for turrets or launchers, mid slots, lows slots, rigs or drones bay size or bandwidth. The only ships capable of having a variable number of these are T3 ships as their slot layout and drone bay size is dependant on the subsystems you use.

I used the word slot wrongly, I meant drone bay. My venture ship can only carry two mining drones I. So,,, is it possible to increase capacity of drone bay?

Be happy , that you can use at least two drones. My Prospect, which is tier 2 Venture, can not have any at all. Really sick, when you need to get rid of those NPC in belts :(

Even in high sec you need at least one drone for defense. I would not put 2 mining drones there. At least one hobgoblin I, IMHO...

How can you have a prospect? It hasn't been released yet

Not Tier 2 either, since we no longer have tiers.

Thanks for your all replies. It seems that I should upgrade my mining operations with barges.

Eventually, yes, but 2 Hobgoblins will give your Venture plenty of protection in the meantime.

Not if you're mining in 0.9 or 1.0 space. Which isn't too unreasonable, actually. You'll still find Scordite there...

With the retirement of actual tiers, I've noticed a lot of people saying "Tier 2" when they mean "Tech 2", like the OP. Irritating, but you do know what they mean.
