Here it is, marvel at its perfection!

It is currently on TQ, tho all the stats are a placeholder. Its associated to a BPO

Thank you Araneatrox for posting it in Reddit

I, personally wonder what would be so drastically different to justify a venture variant, whiteout pushing it above the line of overpowered. And also what'with the revolving gas canisters? Could it be a specialised gas miner (better bonus to gas harvester, none to mining lasers) and could it have a mining partner (better mining laser bonus, none to gas)?

maybe cov-ops cloaking capability.. would be great for Null.. though possibly a bit OP?

Most dangerous part of mining null is getting to and from the belt.. (can always cloak in belt if non-friendly enters local)

Though the though of a Black Ops Bridging miners kinda makes me laugh a little bit..

It does seem to support four high slots with the turret placement on either side of the rump in addition to the three locations at the cans. And the muted grey and green instead of yellow also implies a stealth role. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I can totally see a ninja miner.

Aren't gas mining and covops mutually exclusive? You need to be in less than 1500 to the cloud to start harvesting it, meaning that you have to burn away in order to hit the cloak. And outside of that, you can MWD+cloak most jumps anyway.

Maybe if you throw in "Advanced Electronics compensate for interference caused by asteroids and gas clouds, allowing cloaking devices to b engaged within the vicinity of such objects" Or to put it simple, only other ships can decloak it. That would be fun, even if "slightly" broken.

Looks like someone grabbed a rifter BPO and used actual parts instead of duct tape.

That awkward moment at the Gentlemen's Club when you see your sister on the stage....and you're not sure where to put the money....

If one orbits a gas cloud in a venture, you are really hard to catch, slippery, a covert ops cloak while not essential would be really handy, but even more handy would be immunity to bubbles.or to be really really difficult to scan down.

But no1 wish would be faster cycle time so that c5 triple gas could be wolfed down before the rats spawn. And bubble immunity.

But if one could keep gassing while cloaked and the rats not see you then wow that would be ...... Awesome, but honestly, unrealistic.

Can we get a dev to confirm or deny that this will be a T2 variant of the Venture?

Trying to see if this ties into the new character selection screen that came with todays patch and shows a couple of Ventures running 3 mining lasers...

I would like to see this have the ability to mine ice. It would probably give more life to lowsec ice mining.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.
