Looking to find a good mining ship i didnt realize the Osprey was nurfed and is no longer regarded as a mining vessel. |

It wasn't "nurfed" exactly, but you're right that it's no longer a mining ship in any capacity. The Venture fills the role of previous mining frigates and cruisers. Otherwise, you can always step up to a mining barge. |

The Mammoth, an Industrial ship with only 1 turret slot, was never a good mining ship ...
The Venture can be trained for in less than an hour, can be found "for free" in the Mining tutorial missions, and will give you better mining yield even with the skill at 2 than the old mining frigates/cruisers ...
You only really need Industry 5 for a Mining Barge (the other req skills you'll want to mine anyway), and yes, that takes a week ... but there's no good reason to NOT train for the Venture in the meantime ... My skills : Kery Nysell, Jestra Nysell, Kotoko Nysell, Kotone Nysell |

As noted above, you're looking for the Venture. Check out the ore hold and yield, and you'll see it's a big step up from the old mining cruisers, while being quicker and simpler to skill for. If you're a dedicated miner, then the Tech I mining barges are actually good now, and you can choose freely between big ore hold, big tank, or big yield, depending on what best fits where and how you operate. The Tech II Exhumers now are simply upgrades from the Tech I ships, but still follow the same roles.
If your end goal is solo mining in high sec, just pick the ones with the biggest holds. If you will be mining with an Orca boost and hauler support, then go for the high yield models. The heavy tank ones are for anywhere a tank is needed, so you don't need to resort to mining in a battleship any more if you think you need that.
The Venture is also now the stealth wormhole gas king, on account of its agility and +2 warp strength bonus. |
