I don't think I'll go for prospect any time soon I love cloaky as I primarily fly stealth bomber and recon ships but it's not worth it more. It's more expensive and for 20min even with t2 harvesters it just doesn't work cuz I won't fill It completely. But with t2 harvesters I'll get 40mil in 20min which I definatly want apart of. I'm even debating joining a wormhole corp but idk

No, a prospect will not generate more ISK in 20 Minutes!


Not the Prospect, but the T2 harvesters Blink

The ultimate advantage for the Prospect is, you can fit Covert Ops Cloak, which makes your journeys through wormhole systems much more safe.

I also highly recommend to skill up Expedition Frig to 5, because it will reduce the Prospects signature radius significantly, which makes it way harder to lock and hit.

I lost 3 Ventures in wormhole systems, but never lost a Prospect...
Have to say more?


Your navigation skills should be very high, because with a no-combat-ship you have to be quick.
Install some Nanofibers and Astronautic RIGs to reduce align time (I´m in warp at 3 seconds).

I´m an explorer and love this ship.
I use a CovOps Cloak, a Probe Launcher and one Gas Harvester in highslots (I know, this is painful, but I don´t wanna give up so much cargo for a Mobile Depot and a Probe Launcher...).

On my loooong journey through wormhole systems I can search for high profit gas sites (C320/540, only the good stuff, you have no space for other farts) and do Data/Relic Sites with T2 analyzers in the mids.


So, with the right skills to me the Prospect is a genius tool für harvesters and explorers (even without a bonus to scan strength).

If I could make a wish - I would love an additional highslot (not an additional turret) to fit CovOps Cloak, Probe Launcher and 2 Gas Harvesters ^^

If you scan longish chains you may find multiple high-end gas sites. For ninja'ing of these it can be nice to have the prospect so you don't have to go back and forth as often.

or if it's cleared you can go afk for an hour at a time, not that I would ever do that..... Lol

That said, gas mining is still p. good money by WH standards. Even better if you react it.

Worth it? Yeah.

Yeah, well, it's just like my opinion, man.

Orbit can at about 15 to 20km, you will be inside the cloud and anyone sneaking up to get into scram range will be de-cloaked


Thanks for telling every1 bro.

It's not just nice. It can be mandatory because you can propably tank the Battleship sleeper spawn in instrumental Core gas site with a prospect until its cargo hold is full afaik.

my intodruction to wormholes was gas mining (in an omen mind you, venture didnt exist yet). and now im multiboxxing like 9 ventures. it can totally be worth it.

sometimes u can just ninja sites especially if u have a lot of gas miners. with a handful (5-7) of them u can actually complete except vast instrumental and vital core before the rats spawn. yes this takes a lot of accounts but the sp cost is so low, there is really no reason for any of ur accounts not to be able to do this.

alternatively u can do the clearing method. which would start ur daytrip scanning scanning scanning. proc all the gas sites u found by warping to them. go get something to eat until rats spawn. come back and clear up all those sites (salvage them if ur a super jew), and then get to work suckin dat gas.

gl mining like a pro
