The best option for a new miner is to train into the [[Venture]], a dedicated [[ORE]] mining frigate (before the [[Eve_Online_Expansions#Retribution|Retribution expansion]], each race had its own mining frigate, but this is no longer the case). The Venture and the necessary skillbook ({{sk|Mining Frigate}}) are given out for free by the Industrial Career agents, and training the necessary skills takes only a few minutes. The Venture is a mini mining barge with a substantial ore hold (which minimises travel to stations to unload ore), very good [[Mining Yield|mining yield]] and built-in warp core stabilisation (which makes it easier to escape from hostile ships).

The best option for a new miner is to train into the [[Venture]], a dedicated [[Outer Ring Excavations|ORE]] mining frigate (before the [[Eve_Online_Expansions#Retribution|Retribution expansion]], each race had its own mining frigate, but this is no longer the case). The Venture and the necessary skillbook ({{sk|Mining Frigate}}) are given out for free by the Industrial Career agents, and training the necessary skills takes only a few minutes. The Venture is a mini mining barge with a substantial ore hold (which minimises travel to stations to unload ore), very good [[Mining Yield|mining yield]] and built-in warp core stabilisation (which makes it easier to escape from hostile ships).

After a week's training, a budding miner should have the necessary skills to fly a mining barge, which have more than double the mining yield of a Venture, as well as even larger ore holds and/or a stronger tank. These ships are also more expensive (15-40M ISK, plus modules), but given that a Venture can mine about 500-700k ISK worth of ore per full cargohold, this money is soon earned. There are three different mining barges, each with a different focus (see table below).
