EVE New Citizens Q&A

A Venture has a 5000K m3 Ore Hold, almost twice what a Nereus (old Iteron Mk I) has for a cargo hold. Yes, the cargo hold on it is small, but dedicated mining ships have ore holds. It will fill up faster since the Venture is efficient at mining.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Venture - take note where it says "Ore Capacity" in the attributes box on that page. Direct from the in-game attributes found on "show info."

You need to get better at reading the information in the Attributes tab.

Well that changes things. I never saw the ore hold. I thought there were only cargo holds. Like I said very new! Thanks for clearing that up for me guys!

This is the lesson, when we're telling you something, there's good reasons and wisdom as to why .

Well if someone is really determined to do so, not much will sway them.

Hopefully the OP is starting to glean from our collective wisdom .

Actually we've just demonstrated that all it takes is a little 'why' instead of just raw 'wisdom.'

There's a bit of assumption going both ways. Based on your opening post you claim some experience. Naturally, we're assuming that you can read information in the game, and yes, I get that sometimes it may not be obvious, but this wasn't hidden or subtle information by any means.

When everyone is telling you "don't mine in an industrial" as a response and piece of advice, yet you state you're determined to do it anyway because you wanted to AFK it for an hour or more, then I certainly thought "well, he wants to burn time AFK with a very inefficient process, so be it, it's his choice, fair enough."

Certainly at one point you had to ask yourself why all these "veterans" were advising you to do otherwise. You did state that you didn't care about the efficiency issue and seemed determined to carry on despite anything we had to say on the matter, which is why in my original post in response I gave you advice, but then granted your free will to carry on with your self-admitted "fail" usage of a non-mining vessel to mine with.

Anyway, all things being equal, mine in a Venture. It will take 20 to 25 minutes perhaps to fill the Ore Hold, and for more ISK than you're pulling using the Nereus (the old Iteron Mk I). Although, your position is/was that you don't care about the ISK over the time period. If that's true, don't let me get in your way .

This 'why' three pages ago instead of raw wisdom would have saved us both a lot of time.

Idk about determined. Maybe it's how I come off. I thought I was just describing what I was doing and why. Usually doesn't take more than that for someone to point where you are wrong. I did say the most of my time afk.

I guess I should do the tutorials again. I guess they've changed since I did them last? I don't recall getting a free venture doing the mining tutorial 2 or 3 years ago.

This, this, this. Yes, I was going to suggest this to you. There has been a lot of changes, including how exploration works and such. The tutorials are much better than they were just a few years ago. These will really help you get "caught" up.

CAuse, we all hope you did your tutorials, which means that you already would have used the Venture...and thus know about the specialized hold it has.

Heh, tutorial gives me a mining ship and a skill called Mining Frigate to be able to use it...it might hint that this is a good mining ship...


EDIT:

Skip the above. Thought you did the recent tutorials, not the ancient ones that weren't as good.
