== Summary ==

The '''Pioneer''' is an ~~upcoming~~ mining [[~~Destroyer|~~destroyer]] slated to be released with the Catalyst expansion on 18 November 2025. It serves as a bridge point between the smaller [[Venture]] mining frigate and the larger [[Mining Barge]]s. Like those ships, it receives bonuses for both [[mining]] and [[gas cloud harvesting]]. Like the Venture, the Pioneer is also usable by [[Alpha clones]].

Like the Venture, the Pioneer is also usable by [[Alpha clones]].

Compared to the Venture, the Pioneer offers a higher harvesting yield, with a third turret and stronger mining yield bonus. It can also carry a spare flight of drones that the Venture can not. However, the Pioneer lacks the inherent warp core strength bonus of the Venture.

== Tactics ==

Like other ORE mining ships, the Pioneer is not an ideal ship for combat, and any threat more dangerous than belt rats is best avoided rather than confronted. Paying good attention to [[~~Directional scanner|~~D-Scan]] and/or local chat can bring notice to potential threats before they catch a Pioneer, particularly in riskier areas of space.

Orbiting an asteroid can help mitigate incoming damage from belt rats, but can also increase the time required to escape if a player threat nears.
