Everyone in W-space will gank a mining op if they see one, so when mining, always make sure that there are no incoming wormholes in your system, always watch directional, or even have a scout at any wormhole exit. You cannot mine aligned, but you can make it a bit harder for someone to find you. As of the Odyssey update, asteroid fields are anomalies, showing up on normal scanner without probes. They can be warped to immediately upon arrival in system by a hostile ship. To be safe(er), do not mine without a picket on the WH entrances. Keep an eye out for new signatures that might be new WH connections. Try not to use jetcans for mining, as they can be bookmarked to provide warp-ins on you. Haul in cheap industrial ships, as often as possible. Don't use an Orca for picking up ore. Orcas draw attention of gankers. Warp out at any sign of unknown ships and probes on directional. Better to be safe than dead.

=== Gas Huffing ===

Gas sites in W-Space are relatively common and can be extremely profitable to clear. At time of writing, Instrumental sites containing C320 / C540 gas can net a huffing team something in the order of ~~150mil~~ ISK per hour, which makes it extremely worthwhile. Unlike Ore sites, gas sites remain signatures, and thus require any potential hostiles to probe down the site before they can engage huffers, giving you more of a safety margin as there's usually time to pick up the probes on Dscan.

Gas sites in W-Space are relatively common and can be extremely profitable to clear. At time of writing, Instrumental sites containing C320 / C540 gas can net a huffing team something in the order of 220mil ISK per hour, which makes it extremely worthwhile. Unlike Ore sites, gas sites remain signatures, and thus require any potential hostiles to probe down the site before they can engage huffers, giving you more of a safety margin as there's usually time to pick up the probes on Dscan.

It's important to be careful with Gas sites, as the sleepers that guard them are not present initially, but spawn a short time (approx. 15 minutes) after the site is first warped to. Activate the sites first, and return in combat ships to clear the sleeper guardians - once done it should be safe to huff without NPC intervention.

It's important to be careful with Gas sites, as the sleepers that guard them are not present initially, but spawn a short time (approx. 15-23 minutes) after the site is first warped to. Activate the sites first, and return in combat ships to clear the sleeper guardians - once done it should be safe to huff without NPC intervention.

Ventures are an excellent choice for Gas Harvesting due to their cheapness, low SP requirements, sizeable Ore/Gas bay and hull bonuses, all of which makes them an extremely efficient and cost-effective choice of ship.
