Designed as an entry level mining ship, the Venture provides a platform for the beginner miner. Its mining hold and bonuses to yield make it an efficient miner that doesn't have to return to station every couple minutes. The stabilized warp core makes it easier for the ship to escape attackers, although it won't survive long against any decent attacker. It is also one of the only ships with bonuses to [[gas cloud harvesting]]. | Designed as an entry level [[mining]] ship, the Venture provides a platform for the beginner miner.

Despite being a frigate, the Venture is rather heavy (similar to [[Stealth Bomber]]s), so aligning might take some time. If there's the possibility of a threat (e.g. war targets in systems nearby), it should fly prealigned like any mining vessel or any bigger ship. | Despite being a frigate, the Venture is rather heavy (similar to [[Stealth Bomber]]s), so aligning might take some time.

When mining in high security space (the usual activity for new miners), you are a potential target for [[suicide ganking]]. Even though Ventures are relatively cheaper (and less desirable) targets than mining barges, you may still be attacked. It is therefore ideal to orbit an asteroid nearby but not the one you are mining (once an asteroid you were orbiting becomes depleted, you will continue moving in a straight line, a big problem if you're tabbed out of EVE or AFK) and begin aligning when a threat enters your belt (e.g., a destroyer such as a [[Catalyst]] or [[Thrasher]]). By continually moving, you make it more difficult to be struck by an aggressor. If you are using an Afterburner as opposed to a Microwarpdrive, you should have this active when orbiting the asteroid and inactive when you are aligning to warp out. This tactic, along with being suitably tanked (See [[Fitting ships]] for info on fitting), makes you a less attractive target for suicide ganking | When mining in high security space (the usual activity for new miners), you are a potential target for [[suicide ganking]].
