I suppose somewhere up to 5 mil for a full hold. Not much, but decent when compared to the cost of the single volley needed to loot it. Gas cloud harvester modules themselves also sell for a couple of mil each. |

More folk need to go to lo-sec.
Oh no, more folk are going to lo-sec! This is not a signature. |

Use a heavy interdicter with a focused warp disruption script. It prevents anything from warping CCP don't make us wait another decade for a drone overhaul; DRONE OVERHAUL NOW! |

People are mining in lowsec? And that's a *bad* thing? Good for them. I was starting to feel like I was the only one who did any sort of PvE in lowsec anymore. Now to go grab my Jag and have some fun... This Space Intentionally Left Blank |

Why is that a bad thing? Even us ninjas and gankers have always pointed out that Hulk pilots need to fit more tank/survivability in exchange for less yield. In the case of the Venture, it's built into the hull. Less yield and cargo capacity, but more survivability(In this case warp core stabilization and mobility). Seems a fair trade off to me. And if the bears are going into Lowsec I salute them. 90% of my income in eve is in lowsec, and it's ******* dead most of the time. It's nice to see some more people risking **** out there.

Though once they've made the move to mine in losec they're surely not bears any more |

Fair point. Although many here seem to think that it is. Personally I'm glad this is happening. This Space Intentionally Left Blank |

Newbseye view...
I will say as a noob that the Venture is my favorite hull. I have been slowly going through the T1 frigates and for a noob wanting to move around and just see and get used to moving around the Venture is great. Free to start. Warp stability. Agile and can be made more so. With very low fitting skills can still be used. Can be fit to be able to reasonably fight other T1 frigs, in part just because of the surprise and two Hob II's or whatever. You can put mining drones or salvage drones in the hold. You can do low level ratting, though the tiny hold becomes and issue for long trip salvaging. Can carry a mining fit in the hold. Cheap to lose, replace and refit. It's never going to be a dps or tank powerhouse, so it is easy to fit, and a lot of things can be crammed into the fit. It is a great 'under the radar' vehicle. It can be fit for evasion. It does not ring alarm bells the way an exploration or other T1 hulls might, so it can be used for scouting. I am beginning to have them stashed around here and there since I use them for 'transit' between places where I plan to do something else. Since they are everywhere at this point also not as distinctive. Very unlikely to be carrying anything of any value beyond another kill. Might make a decent smuggling ship?
Once I get real fitting skills I plan to lose them by pretending to be mining and trying to get T1 fights... I have only managed a version of this once so far in my illustrious 3 week EVE career. Or running, at which it can be pretty good, if (when) something meaner shows up.
I am not quite up to cloaking it, having it really scan ready and gas harvesting is a long way off, but for just tooling around in something fairly low profile, access to places I might not be able to otherwise go as a noob, pretend mining here and there should I choose for some obscure reason.... the Venture is great. I think 'ninja' gas harvesting will be a decent way of learning certain parts of the map and game. Heck... I think it even looks cool.
