Fitting is a complicated, time-consuming process. You can, and should, read all the details about how to fit a ship. But for now, you just need a fit that works, and the best place to find these is in UNIWiki. Here is a link to the [[Venture|Venture's page]]. At the bottom, you will find a group of recommended "fits". | Fitting is a complicated, time-consuming process. You can, and should, read all the details about how to fit a ship.

Exactly which drones you need depends on the kind of pirates in the region where you are mining.

(''While it's not something a skilled miner would do, you could also turn off some of your equipement. If you take the Afterburner offline, for example, you will gain cpu and power for use elsewhere ... but you will not have a burst of emergency speed anymore. Or you could turn the Salvager I off and just not salvage wrecks.'') Similarly, if you have CPU and Power to spare, you can look at lasers that mine ore faster.
