Gas harvesting in EVE Online can be one of the most lucrative activities for new players, and now with the introduction of Expert Systems, I believe it's a much more accessible activity for everyone. So, taking advantage of this new mechanic, we can use a Covetor with its equipment to extract gas without needing to be an Omega, allowing you to generate much more ISK.

Now, while the Covetor has a relatively small cargo hold compared to other ships, it compensates with faster gas harvesting speed (shorter extraction time = more ISK). This ship is designed for operations in Null Sec, although you can also use it in wormholes, but keep in mind it lacks countermeasures for escape.

Advantages:

  • Faster cycles.

  • Larger capacity than a Venture.

  • Quick alignment for escape.

Disadvantages:

  • Cannot use Cloak.

  • Low combat capability.

It's a great option if you decide to give Expert Systems a try. You'll be able to see the difference in extraction with each possible type of ship, and it will likely become one of your favorites.

Created by Orik Kado for Just About EVE Online, thanks to its faster extraction speed, you'll be able to generate ISK much faster. Additionally, it has a larger cargo capacity than the traditional Venture. For greater benefit, it's recommended to use it for your expeditions in Null Sec to avoid unwanted enemies. It's best used in the company of a Porpoise and your best friends (this combination guarantees 100% fun).

My recommendation for gas harvesting is the Covetor, similar to the Sturmer's fit but more costly at approximately 80 million ISK. Although harvesters have a longer cycle than scoops, the Tech 2 harvesters increase gas yield by about 36% per hour. Its align time is around 5 seconds. Another major advantage of this ship is its versatility and potential for future upgrades; it can be fitted with strip miners to effectively mine ore and serves as a stepping stone to the Hulk—the ultimate mining powerhouse.

Xen's Covetor: Optimized for gas harvesting with Tech 2 harvesters. Versatile design allows for easy conversion to ore mining. Fairly cheap fit allows this ship and fit break even in under 2 hours. Best gas harvesting vessel for controlled space.

This fit is designed for survivability at a low cost and low SP investment. Affectionately named "Baby's First Brick", this fit is designed to provide maximum survivability through Warp Stabilization and Effective Hitpoints.

Ventures can be deceptively hard to kill. With a +2 to warp core strength and decent stats, a well fit venture can shrug off a volley or two and slide into warp before you know it. This has caused experienced Venture hunters to include more scramble strength to their fits, or increase their numbers. Trading away the incredibly common Damage Control for a Warp Core Stabilizer, this fit can enter warp under even more oppressive conditions

In true EoT fashion, we present to you, The Soft Cloud Muncher

Soft Pillow Muncher!

This venture design is set to make sure that new players can take part in what we older plays, like to affectionally called "Gas Cloud Huffing". This activity takes place in Wormholes. The fitting was made by the Eve Online Tutorials team collectively. Thanks to the bonuses of the Venture itself, this fitting will excel at Gas Cloud Harvesting and of course, due to its natural immunity to being warp scrambled, you can easily get away from unwanted visitors to your Gas site!

Description Pink made by Kane Carnifex for Just About EVE Online. Thanks to its Covert Ops Cloaking in warp ability and the highest amount in GAS huffing under frigates especially if you required to travel through dangerous space. Best used if you have fast responding PVP Fleet in the backhand.
