Gas cloud harvesting: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

*You will need a ship that has enough high slot turrets.

*Unlike other mining, gas cloud mining can not be performed in any type of exhumer. (They can not mount high slot turrets.)

*You will also need at least one Gas Cloud Harvester. You can only mount one harvester per trained skill level, and each one uses a turret slot. ~~A battlecruiser works nicely~~ for ~~this~~, or a cruiser with 5 turret slots such as a Thorax~~. The Venture frigate seems to be the standard hull used for gas cloud mining as of 2013~~.

*You will also need at least one Gas Cloud Harvester. You can only mount one harvester per trained skill level, and each one uses a turret slot.

*Unlike regular mining, there are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.

*The [[Venture]] is the most common ship for gassing as, due to its bonuses, it has the same yield with its 2 turrets and Mining Frigate trained to 4 (with Mining Frigate 5 it gets higher yield) as an unbonused ship with 5 harvesters. Additionally it is far more agile than the ships which would be able to fit 5 harvesters.

*You'll probably want to fit some cargohold expanders as well -- gas is bulky.

*The alternative is a battlecruiser a cruiser with 5 turret slots such as a Thorax.

*Unlike regular mining there are not any modules or rigs to increase yield. Ie there are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.

*A ship with gas harvesters attached appears to have nozzles coming from the body of the ship. The number of nozzles does not necessarily match the number of gas harvesters fitted.

*As of 2010, a hurricane worked extremely well for gas cloud mining in w space. With all the low and high slots you can harvest away without sacrificing much dps and also have enough cargo expanders to make each trip worth while. (May no longer be recommended as of 2013)

*The Venture's ore bay can also hold gas however other ships will probably want to fit Expanded Cargoholds in their lows as gas is bulky.

*The [[Venture~~]] frigate is often cited as being useful for Gas mining and receives bonuses for gas cloud harvesting. It~~'s ~~bonuses, low cost and 5000 m3~~ ore hold ~~make it a good choice. Venture's yield is the same~~ as ~~a battlecruiser with 5 T2~~ gas ~~harvesters~~
