All i heard was, "I want to be able to kill them easier..."
I think it needs them. its too glass to survive a light rain, so it needs some defense. The +2 warp strength is that defense. You just have to THINK about how you attack, rather than just, "WARP AND POINT FTW!" Think of it as adapting your play style.
Then try reading again because all i was asking is if all the abilities are necessary... Only 3 people in here have answered that question so far.If you use a 3 point scram all you are doing is "WARP AND POINT FTW!" so i'm not quite sure what you are talking about. I think if a pilot is skilled enough to scan down a frigate without being seen then they deserve that kill and shouldn't have to worry about overcompensating with 4 points. But whatever, in all honesty i don't even waist my time trying to kill ventures and it's a shame that all a lot of people want to do is mine gas instead of pvp
Oh the tears.
CCP seemed to think all the abilities are necessary.
And DESERVE? Seriously? I don't care if you have a maxed out, virtue wearing prober. You don't deserve **** until the KM is on your character sheet.
Oh and you are looking for waste. Waist is the thing my belt goes around to hold up my pants. That is if I ever wore pants. |

Answering my question with another question, I see what you did there. To answer yours, No, Its called being prepared. Starting forum post and calling for a ship to be nerfed because you cant fit a TS scram is laughable.
We don't seem to have any problems catching ventures in gas sites...just sayin. Ask me about Rengas-dar, HRDKX's Most recent, groundbreaking, game-changing, wormhole-collapsing research endeavour. |

Proofreading has nothing to do with word choice and grammar, do you even know what deserve means?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deserve
You saying that someone deserves a kill for being able to scan a frigate (which isnt that hard...) is exactly like me saying I deserve to not pay my 2012 taxes to the federal government because I found the post office.

And you have a killmail, that means you won. Also, maybe that scram will benefit you elsewhere, like, scramming other things? It isnt like its gonne go away after you use it once...

It was boring until your thread came along.
I don't have an issue with the current setup of the venture. Given that you can get it to almost 3 sec align time, even without the WCS plenty will get away.
And it isn't trolling. It is calling you out on your whiny, elitist, entitled attitude. |

Ill answer your question with another question. Why would they make a specific frigate designed for solo gas mining that dies every time someone lands on grid with it, guaranteed, unless you had more people on grid to defend it?
Design philosophy
- Identify or understand your problem.
Gas ships die alot because they get pointed, they are battlecruisers and warp slow Q.Q
- Devise a plan to rectify it.
Warp Strength bonus to new mining frig, also it goes fast
- Implement your solution.
Done, it works
- Review whether it was successful
Gas ships no longer ALWAYS die when things land on grid, WIN. Gas ships are still killable and die a lot, Game not broken
Overall, I think its a good design Ask me about Rengas-dar, HRDKX's Most recent, groundbreaking, game-changing, wormhole-collapsing research endeavour. |

The butthurt is strong with this one.
No I'm saying you probably couldnt catch one even without the WCS bonus.

Thanks for finally being somewhat constructive instead of just being a smart arse.
If you think a 3 second align time and a sig radius of a drone isn't enough for a active pilot to escape that's your opinion. ... |

If you're not using bubbles to catch gas miners you're doing it wrong.
I don't see how the venture changes anything.
1) Get warpin 2) Squad warp sabre 3) Drop bubble 4) ??? 5) Profit
If they're watching d-scan they'll get awayGÇöit doesn't matter if they're in a ferox or a venture.
If they aren't watching d-scan you'll get themGÇöit's as simple as that. |

Scan ladar site, warp in cloaked. Createw corpbookmark, warp HIC in and bubble when landed is nice littel explosions. But no I don't think it needs a nerf. Are they overpowerd? No. Can they be oneshotted by ArtyCane? I think so. So what is the problem? My point is, where is the risk? The only way you can kill one is if the pilot is not paying attention or if you have pre-scanned the site. I'm not saying that they are impossible to catch but i do feel they have too many bonuses. Why do they need + 2 warp strength with such a good align time? The energy involved in setting up a successful gank is disproportionate to the cost of the ship IMO. Also, one thing to consider is that it doesn't leave much room for a T2/T3 gas miner because the venture is already so awesome.
What is the difference between a venture and a moa? moa is crazy hard to scan aswell, moa can fit stabs, moa aligns just as fast if you fit friction rigs like everyone does and costs fuk all, btw what fuktard mines in a t2/3. NERF DA MOA!!! |

Other that the things already mentioned, the main advantage of the using a venture over a moa is obviously the Ore hold. In the past you may have jet can mined and then come to collect your gas in a hauler when you are done, providing an ideal opportunity for a hunter to ambush/kill you. Hauling isn't such an issue in the venture.

Its the same crap as highsec mining bears.
Every ship in the game requires you to fit your ship, to make trade offs, yield/damage vs tank, utility vs cap regen etc etc.
Brainded miners refused to fit their ships for anything except max yield and cryed for so long CCP made the ships so they didnt need to fit them at all. They gave ore miners tank and massive hold and they gave gas miners the venture, almost instawarping hard to scan frigate with +2 warp core strength, such bs.
Gave mining ships stats so they dont have to fit for them. |

The main problem is not the warp core strength and its so hard to tackle them....
The problem is with a perfect skilled virtue scanner you need to go to 1.00 AU which is mostly gonna be atleast 2 scans and then when you dictor lands with them it has about 3 seconds before it can drop a bubble meanwhile the venture aligns and warps in about 1.5 seconds.
The only way to catch one who is paying attention is too pre-bm the sight (so you dont have to scan it)
and then warp there in a cloaky T3 with +3 jam strength and decloak it with a bumb so it doesnt align and warp off before you cloaking delay ends. Or cloaky with smartbombs i guess might work. |

Tackle it is not a problem. If they are afk you can easily kill them. You have mods to tackle them ;) ... Actually you can do it with one mod only.
If they are in your hole and you can't kill them, you are doing it wrong: In your hole you should already have the ladar/radar scanned + all incoming WHs. You can either warp to ladar cloaked, bookmark fly dictor and bubble or warp a regular ship to make them run back to the exit WH (which is bubbled right?) where they go boom.
Pick your poison.
There is one more case ... smart people ... you won't be able to kill them anyway which makes all this chit chat about the +2 stab useless :) |
