The ORE ships are specialised mining and salvaging ships. Whilst obviously not combat ships, they tend to be [[shield tanking|shield tanked]] and use drones for defense.

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}}).

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&nbsp;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 the ship of choice for such purposes.

==Mining Barge==
==Mining barge==


The mining barges are the next step up from the Venture, with much higher mining yields, larger ore bays and/or a stronger tank. Also, in contrast to the Venture, the mining barges can fit strip miners (with much higher yield than normal mining modules) and [[Ice Mining|ice miners]]. There are three mining barges, each optimized for a different role: The Procurer has a strong tank, the Covetor a high mining yield, and the Retriever a large ore bay.

The Bowhead is the ORE freighter but unlike the other racial freighters it has a small cargo hold and a very large Ship Maintenance Bay, similar to the Orca and Rorqual. Unlike other freighters it has rigs and midslots, not just lowslots.

Strip miners can only be fit on mining barges and exhumers, are are used to mine ore. Unlike mining lasers, they have a cycle time of 180 seconds (3 minutes); the table below lists their mining yield in m<sup>3</sup>/min (whereas in-game tools often list their yield in m<sup>3</sup> per cycle).

==== Ice miners ====
These modules are used to [[Ice Mining|mine ice]] (surprise, surprise), and, like strip miners, can only be fitted to mining barges and exhumers. Unlike ore miners, ice miners all mine 1 unit (1000&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>) of ice per cycle; their distinguishing feature is the length of their cycle (a shorter cycle means more ice mined over time).

==== Gas cloud harvesters ====
 
Gas cloud miners are used to mine [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas clouds]], and can only be fit to ships with turret slots (which means they cannot be fitted to mining barges or exhumers). For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud harvester (up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km (the shortest of any of the mining modules by quite a margin). Note that the table below lists yield per minute (to make it easier to compare modules), while most in-game sources will list yield per cycle.
