To get gas, you need gas cloud harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.

For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5 km

===Gas cloud scoops===

Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.

===Gas cloud harvesters===

Gas cloud harvesters are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint. These modules are restricted to be used with Mining Barges and Exhumers.

Harvesters mine a larger amount but with a longer cycle time.

The two meta 1 gas cloud harvesters have lower fitting requirements than the meta 0 module, however, even an average-skilled pilot should have no problem fitting a [[Venture]] with two meta 0 gas cloud harvesters. The two meta harvesters are in practice like storyline modules with low fitting and are only available from specific static sites. The tech 2 module has 50% more yield than its tech 1 counterparts, and is therefore a very worthwhile upgrade despite the long skill training time (and the slightly more demanding fitting - although it should still not cause problems for most miners). The Syndicate harvester (obtainable from the [[Intaki Syndicate]] LP store), is very rare, expensive, and almost never worth using unless you need every last drop of CPU fitting for other modules.

===Ships===

While gas cloud ~~harvesters~~ can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.

The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.
