Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see. | Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid.

Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10 m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10 m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable. | Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore.

Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters). | Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it.

While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas. | While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use.

The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive. | The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found.

The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores. | The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co.

Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout. | Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do.
