All basic ORE ships (the Venture, Primae and Noctis) have very low skill requirements, ~~typically requiring less than a day of training to fly~~. The more advanced ORE ships' skill requirements depend on the type of ship. All T1 Mining Barges require the {{sk|Mining Barge|mult=yes}} skill, which notably requires that you have {{sk|Industry|V}} trained. Exhumers, being their T2 cousins, require both {{sk|Mining Barge|V}}, {{sk|Astrogeology|V}}, and the {{sk|Exhumers|mult=yes}} skill.

All basic ORE ships (the Venture, Primae and Noctis) have very low skill requirements; a new character's [[starting skills]] covers the Venture, the Primae has no skill requirements, and the Noctis only needs {{sk||ORE Industrial|mult=yes}}. The more advanced ORE ships' skill requirements depend on the type of ship. All T1 Mining Barges require the {{sk|Mining Barge|mult=yes}} skill, which notably requires that you have {{sk|Industry|V}} trained. Exhumers, being their T2 cousins, require both {{sk|Mining Barge|V}}, {{sk|Astrogeology|V}}, and the {{sk|Exhumers|mult=yes}} skill.

The [[Orca]] on the other hand requires the {{sk|Industrial Command Ships|mult=yes}} skill - prerequisites include quite some investment in leadership skills ({{sk|Mining Foreman|V}}) as well as the capability to fly the [[Noctis]] ({{sk|ORE Industrial|III}}) and some generic training ({{sk|Spaceship Command|V}}). The [[Rorqual]], being a capital ship, has far higher skill requirements - in addition to Jump Drive skills (requiring {{sk|Warp Drive Operation|V}}, {{sk|Navigation|V}} and {{sk|Science|V}}), the {{sk|Capital Industrial Ships|mult=yes}} skill also requires {{sk|Capital Ships|II}} (and thus, by extension, {{sk|Advanced Spaceship Command|V}}) as well as {{sk|Industrial Reconfiguration|I}} (and, by extension, {{sk|Advanced Mass Production|IV}} and {{sk|Mass Production|V}}).

=== Venture ===

The Venture is the first ORE ship almost any aspiring miner will fly. ~~The~~ ship ~~and its required skillbook ({{sk|Mining Frigate|mult=yes}}) are~~ given out for free by the Industry and Business [[Career Agents]], thus providing a viable mining ship with a low barrier of entry.

While its mining yield is dwarfed by more advanced mining ships, it can nonetheless generate a reasonable income for a beginner miner, and its 5000 m<sup>3</sup> ore hold means it doesn't have to return to a station to unload every few minutes. Its two built-in warp core stabilizers also make the Venture a good ship for mining in hostile space - plus, it aligns and warps much faster than the larger mining ships, allowing it to ~~better~~ escape from danger.

Lastly, the Venture is one of only two ships (the other being the [[Prospect]]) with a bonus to [[Gas Cloud Mining]], making it an excellent choice for such purposes.
