The two meta 1 gas cloud harvesters have lower fitting requirements than the meta 0 module, however, even an average-skilled pilot should have no problem fitting a [[Venture]] with two meta 0 gas cloud harvesters. The tech 2 module has 50% more yield than its tech 1 counterparts, and is therefore a very worthwhile upgrade despite the long skill training time (and the slightly more demanding fitting - although it should still not cause problems for most miners). The Syndicate harvester (obtainable from the [[Intaki Syndicate]] LP store), is very rare, expensive, and almost never worth using unless you need every last drop of CPU fitting for other modules. | The two meta 1 gas cloud harvesters have lower fitting requirements than the meta 0 module, however, even an average-skilled pilot should have no problem fitting a [[Venture]] with two meta 0 gas cloud harvesters.

=== Mining laser upgrades === | |||
Mining laser upgrades are low-slot modules which increase the ship's ore mining yield (more m<sup>3</sup> of ore mined per minute). They use a moderate amount of CPU, but their notable downside is that they increase the amount of CPU used by the mining lasers / strip miners installed on your ship (commonly referred to a "CPU penalty"). For example (assuming no skills or other factors), a Strip Miner I normally requires 60 TF of CPU, but if you install a Mining Laser Upgrade I on your ship, it now requires 60 + 10% = 66 TF. You can mitigate this penalty by training the {{sk|Mining Upgrades}} skill, which reduces it by 5% per skill level. | |||
Note that neither the yield increase nor the CPU penalty are subject to [[stacking penalties]]. Mining laser upgrades only affect ore mining yield; the corresponding modules for ice mining are called [[#ice harvester upgrades|ice harvester upgrades]]. | |||

The meta 1-4 variants are progressive upgrades over the basic Mining Laser Upgrade I, giving ever-higher mining yields and lower CPU penalties; the only downside to using them is their slightly higher CPU requirement. The tech 2 module is in all respects worse than the meta 4 module (especially the enormous 12.5% CPU penalty); however, if your ship can handle it, it may be worth using, as the higher-meta modules are often horrendously expensive. | |||
