It appears to me that the prospect is the only mining vessel that doesn't have a drone bay. I know it has cloaking and a small sig and all that, but you can't mine when you're cloaked, and you can't mine while being attacked by an ECM rat.
Am I supposed to cut mining in speed in half to install a single blaster?
So, why doesn't the prospect have a drone bay of, say, 15-25m3? |

So, back off the low sig a bit and let the miners have a real defense. |

It's really pretty simple, do what I suggested or move out of Guristas space.

With the drone bay, there would be precisely two reasons to choose a Venture over a Prospect: cost and (lack of) skills. The Venture would have to gain something the Prospect doesn't have or it would end up being pointless.

The prospect is just fine as it is. It is unlike any other ship in the game in so many ways. Lets just keep it that way.

The only thing it misses is a ice miner specific to it, to mine ice in frigate wormholes :P
On topic, I can mine in wormholes alone, be it ore or gas, don't need drones for that.

There's always the compromise position of giving it a tiny drone bay, similar to the Helios.
Can't say the last time I saw a Prospect, and I see a ton of Ventures.

Prospect is the fastest ship while cloaked, at least 40% base faster than anything else (can fit for 650ms cloaked) Prospect is the only covert-cloaked ship with an ore bay.
Can be over-propped with 10mn AB.
Evasion tank is best tank. This is a ninja mining ship -- with or without mining lasers
Please don't change the ship, it is unique and works incredibly well for specific roles. Increasing the sig radius will kill it. Carry a mobile depot and put guns on it if you need to clear rats.

The Prospect already has one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and you want more? Are you out of your mind? |

Compromising with a BAD IDEA is just another form of said BAD IDEA. |

Normally, you would use the Prospect outside of HighSec, where rats are generally to strong for the drone bay a Prospect could have without being a ridiculous murderboat. So the drones wouldn't actually do anything for you, except getting lost if you see someone on your d-scan and you have to warp out asap.
Also one of my alts tanked w-space rats for 10 minutes even with her ****** skills. That was back when the ship was new and I wanted to try it out. Considering how much dps even just Sleeper-frigates throw out, that's kind of impressive.
So no, in situations where you could actually need a drone bay, it would be useless.
If you're using a Prospect in HighSec, I suggest using a Procurer or a Skiff instead. They tank like battleships and have lots of drone firepower. No problems with ECM-rats anymore.
Alternatively: Change regions. Or just belts, I don't think even in regions with Guristas you'll find ECM-rats at every belt, they're not common enough for that. |

A covert ops cloaked, alignin' on a dime, <40m sigrad havin', 10k m3 ore bay totin' black space vacuum and you want more power on it?
Jesus jumped up and played a fiddle. If you think a couple drones are going to save you from what is out where you SHOULD be with a Prospect, you are wrong. 5 light drones won't even slow down Sleeper rats.
I mean, unless you're huffing in highsec or something in which case... best tool for the job, I guess. Use a Venture.
New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.
Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

I would ask for a 3rd turret slot so that a 3rd gas miner can be fit. There are obvious consequences to this. Also it would allow for a 3rd mining laser and put it in direct competition with barges but at a similar price and a fraction of the survival rating (not to mention losing that essential covops cloak).
Yeah.
Definitely a third turret slot is the best change for this ship
