Notice how as you install each piece of gear, the "CPU" and "Powergrid" meters change their values. Each piece of gear uses some power and/or cpu capacity. All of your gear must fit on the ship without overloading either of these meters. | Notice how as you install each piece of gear, the "CPU" and "Powergrid" meters change their values.

Here, for example are the fitting requirements for a particular mining laser. Each item that you want to fit will show this data in its Get Info window. | Here, for example are the fitting requirements for a particular mining laser.

'''IMPORTANT''': Some skills reduce the amount of power and cpu needed for some of the equipment, and this lets you fit more powerful gear. (Look, for example, at {{sk|Power Grid Management}}, {{sk|CPU Management}} or {{sk|Mining Upgrades}}.) If you find that you cannot fit all suggested items into your ship, you may need to improve some of these skills before you can fly. Similarly, if you have CPU and Power to spare, you can look at lasers that mine ore faster. | |||

Once you have a Venture fitted and ready to go, take the ship to a Level 1.0 — 0.8 start system, preferably one that has a good number (five or more) of asteroid belts. You can find these on the [[Map]] by using the Get Info window. (A short article on [[Asteroid_Belts_Near_HSC|Asteroid Belts near the Hisec Campus]] is also available.) | Once you have a Venture fitted and ready to go, take the ship to a Level 1.0 — 0.8 start system, preferably one that has a good number (five or more) of asteroid belts.
