'''IMPORTANT''': Some skills reduce the amount of power and cpu needed for some of the equipment, and this lets you fit more powerful gear. (Look, for example, at {{sk|Power Grid Management}}, {{sk|CPU Management}} or {{sk|Mining Upgrades}}.) If you find that you cannot fit all suggested items into your ship, you may need to improve some of these skills before you can fly. (''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.

Once you have your Venture fitted and ready to go, take the ship to a Level 1.0 , 0.9 or 0.8 star system, preferably one that has a good number of asteroid belts (''seven or more is nice''). You can find these on the [[Star_Map|Map]] by using the Get Info window.
