Gas cloud harvesting: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

*Unlike other mining, gas cloud mining can not be performed in any type of exhumer. (They can not mount high slot turrets.)

*You will also need at least one Gas Cloud Harvester. You can only mount one harvester per trained skill level, and each one uses a turret slot.

*The [[Venture]] is the most common ship for gassing as, due to its bonuses, it has the same yield with its 2 turrets and Mining Frigate trained to 4 (with Mining Frigate 5 it gets higher yield) as an unbonused ship with 5 harvesters. Additionally it is far more agile than the ships which would be able to fit 5 harvesters.

*The [[Venture]] is the most common ship for gassing as, due to its bonuses, it has the same yield with its 2 turrets and Mining Frigate trained to 4 (with Mining Frigate 5 it gets higher yield) as an unbonused ship with 5 harvesters. Additionally it is far more agile than the ships which would be able to fit 5 harvesters. The Kronos expansion added the Prospect mining frigate. Although requiring many days of training, it offers the same gas bonuses as the Venture, allows the use of a covert ops cloak, and can carry a mobile depot in the hold for in-space refitting e.g. change one of the gas cloud harvesters for a core probe launcher. The Prospect is arguably the ideal vehicle for day-trip ninja gas harvesting in worm holes.

*The alternative is a battlecruiser or a cruiser with 5 turret slots such as a Thorax.

*Unlike regular mining there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. Ie, there are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.
