What's a good, cheap Gas Harvester ship for WH? I was running a Moa, but my last wormhole collaped one me, so though I might as well try something else.

EDIT: Whoops, should have said, not Gallente or Amarr ships, not training in those yet,

I use a general-purpose Procurer, most often. Sure, it's a bit small, but it's tough enough to handle sleeper rats. And it's inexpensive. Gas or rocks, doesn't much matter to me. Just change turrets.

Some of my corp-mate use Retrievers, for the greater capacity, but most of them are dual-boxing with an Alt standing shotgun over the anom.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

So, other than price, what advantage does the Venture have over the Moe? if any?

It's also cheaper and harder to catch.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

Not to be too harsh, but you really need to learn how to read descriptions of ships and modules.

Venture

Mining Frigate skill bonus per level: 5% bonus to mining output 5% reduction to gas cloud harvesting duration per level
Role Bonus
100% bonus to mining yield and gas cloud harvesting +2 warp core strength
+2 Warp Core Strenght

5000km3 ore hold

Moa
Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret optimal range and 5% bonus to shield resistance per level.
250m3 Cargohold

You figure out which one you want to use.

At mining Frig 5 with tech II harvesters the Venture is the best.

With T2 harvesters, it matches it at level 4 with both harvesters, and exceeds it at level 5. It's also a frigate, aligns fast, has built in +2 warp core stability, and a 5000m3 gas/ore hold in addition to its cargo bay. It's dirt cheap. It has a utility high for a cloak/probe launcher.

Basically better than the Moa in every way if you're into ninja harvesting the gas.

So if I am reading this right, yield is greater than the 100 units that you would get with the 5 T2 Gas harvesters on Moa? Is that with 3 T2 harvesters? or with 2 and a probe launcher? what about with T1?
