While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two ~~harvesters~~ and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five ~~harvesters~~. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five ~~harvesters~~, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.

The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.
