The new ship prospect is the upgrade of Venture (mining frigate). It is good to have a cloak but it seems defendless even from rats as has 0m3 drone bay.
Is this possible? Not even the 10 m3 of Venture?

Its defenses are the cloak and the cloak. Also the cloak. Venture gets the warp core bonus so its a better battle frigate.

The Prospect will work better in a 1v1 PvP trollfit. I've been playing with EFT and you can either go for dual rep cap booster fit or 400 plate fit with a web and 9kEHP, it can probably win against most T1 frigs or anything you can get under their guns with the low sig radius (arties/rails/lasers/speedtanking rockets). Venture is weaker as a PvP frig but you can always just lolwarpaway.

AB + low sig = speed/sig tank belt 'rats. It certainly can't kill them, but they can't kill it either.

A black ops version of the Orca would be pretty interesting now that you mention it. Jump drive, cloaky, less EHP/cargo, no ship maintenance bay, and a smaller bonus to mining boosts.

Nothing stooping you from bridging in a T3 with mining links. That's still a 28% reduction to cycle time despite not having a bonus for it.
