Despite being a frigate, the Venture is rather heavy (similar to [[Stealth Bomber]]s), so aligning might take some time. If there's the possibility of a threat (e.g. war targets in systems nearby), it should fly prealigned like any mining vessel or any bigger ship.

When mining in high security space (the usual activity for new miners), you are a potential target for [[suicide ganking]]. Even though Ventures are relatively cheaper (and less desirable) targets than mining barges, you may still be attacked. It is therefore ideal to orbit an asteroid nearby but not the one you are mining (once an asteroid you were orbiting becomes depleted, you will continue moving in a straight line, a big problem if you're tabbed out of EVE or AFK) and begin aligning when a threat enters your belt (e.g., a destroyer such as a [[Catalyst]] or [[Thrasher]]). By continually moving, you make it more difficult to be struck by an aggressor. If you are using an [[Afterburner]] as opposed to a [[Microwarpdrive]], you should have this active when orbiting the asteroid and inactive when you are aligning to warp out. This tactic, along with being suitably tanked (See [[Fitting ships]] for info on fitting), makes you a less attractive target for suicide ganking.

The built-in warp core stabilization has the same effect as two fitted Warp Core Stabilizers. As with the [[Deep Space Transport]]s this means that the ship can't be kept from entering warp, unless there are several Warp Disruptors, Warp Scramblers or a Warp Disruption Field Generator (i.e. bubbles) involved. This makes the ship somewhat safer to travel in through lowsec, nullsec or even war target infested highsec, though definitely not invulnerable to gangs of gate campers which often have multiple tackles or who will blow up the ship in a single volley.
