You're right I hadn't really thought it through. A chastened man, I'll endeavour to keep my jokes strictly realistic from now on.

I should point out that the grindr character is probably taken so that Baltec one wasn't true either.

Thinking about Rock what sort of modules do you think would be wise to attach to him. I have two mining laser iis. I have one of those cargo extender bay things. A kinetic thing and a shieldy booster.

What goes in the rigs section that is neat and helpful?
You should probably remove the cargo extender because your Venture has a special ore hold that isn't affected by cargo modules. Instead, you could fit a Mining Laser Upgrade I (or a Mining Laser Upgrade II if you have the skills) to increase the rate at which you pull in ore. Alternatively, you could make your ship more survivable by fitting a Damage Control I or an IFFA Compact Damage Control.

Yeah the people sitting around waiting are dumb. At least sword fleets and Caracals get somewhat regular and decent numbers. Thankless narcosubs gets like 25-45 people max in US TZ (that I've seen in the last two weeks). Funny thing, we had maybe 100-150 people out between a sword fleet, narcosubs, and a caracal fleet, but as soon as a grindrfleet ping went out last night we suddenly had an additional full fleet ready to go.

Vulan's sword fleets are fuckin sweet, if you're apprehensive about running around in frigates and want a real good time, seriously go on one of those. Stop spinnin your ships waiting for the big poo poo like speedboats or grindr like Kalenn said.

If you're trying to catch up to a existing fleet, unless they're literally next door or hitting something in lowsec, you're probably not going to make it. You don't even stand a good chance in a interceptor because at least one gate is going to have a smart bomb setup on it.

Lack of Gravitas posted:

The Venture actually has two cargo bays - the regular cargo bay which can hold 50m3 of any stuff, and the ore hold which holds 5000m3 of ore. Only the regular cargo bay is affected by the cargo extender, so having it doesn't really help you much with mining.

You could remove the cargo extender and replace it with a Mining Laser Upgrade, which will boost how much ore you get each cycle from the mining lasers. (Ship Equipment > Harvest Equipment > Mining Upgrades).

If you want to see exactly how much ore an asteroid has, you can fit a Survey Scanner in one of the mid slots. Asteroids vanish after all the ore is mined out, and you can turn your mining lasers off partway through a cycle, so if an asteroid is nearly empty you don't need to wait the full cycle (ie if you mine 100 units per cycle and the rock has 50 units left, you can turn off the laser halfway through).

The Venture can also carry two small combat drones, which won't help you against other players but are good for fighting off the NPCs which show up to interrupt your fun. Drones can sometimes have a mind of their own and you'll wonder WTF they are doing, but I like them and there are combat ships that use them as a main weapon system.

The spare high slot is called a utility high, you can't use it for weapons/mining lasers etc. If your are killing rats you could put a Salvager to get a bit more profit from the wrecks. Or if you wanted to be sneaky and go mine in lawless space you could put a cloaking device in there instead :black101:

Awesome! I have a quick hour or so to do a tiny bit of mining! Maybe I'll venture out somewhere else! :spooky:!

See you in space everyone!
