If you find a vast, bountiful, vital, or instrumental that is previously untouched you can warp to the cloud and move 260-270km from the warp in point and create a book mark called "gas spot" warp out to any other location and warp back to gas spot saving a gas perch on your way back in. (This all done in a cloaky scan ship btw) warp to the perch and cloak up to remain hidden while you wait for rats to spawn. Bring back the huffer once the rats are on grid. Sit at zero on the gas spot and huff in peace. As long as you warp off as soon as you see combats you can never be blown up. If anyone scans the site and tries to warp in they will warp into the rats and have to leave. They have to use combats to get a direct warp in and if you are like me, they wont complete the scan before youve warped off thanks to dcan. I huff with two prospect that have syndicate gas scoops and have had a bunch of people try to get the drop on me with no luck. With this technique you can have a porpoise join in with boosts and compression when you are full. Dont stay in siege mode though. Always watch for combat probes and be ready to leave. Happy huffing! o7

The rats spawn at the warp in spot. It's the spot that has the red square denoting the anomaly and is also where your bookmark goes when you book mark the anomaly from your probe window. The clouds are so big that you can be 270km or more from the warp in spot and still be at 0 on the cloud.

It's also worth mentioning that gas harvesters in a barge will suck up gas twice as fast and hold twice as much as a venture/prospect and while the Coveter gets the best bonus, it also has the smallest hold and so you need a porpoise to compress and store gas for them. This is great if you're in a group, but if you want to go solo, a Retriever is the way to go. One load of gas will pay for a barge, roughly 60 mil in 30 mins depending on gas type, so if you get jumped once every four or five times out, you're still making more than a prospect and providing content to wormholers who like to hunt. If you put a mobile depot in a Ret with a probe scanner and cloak or scout in advance with heron, you can be in and out with twice the gas in the same amount of time. There are a lot of empty wormholes 2-3 jumps from High Sec in the game where you can tuck yourself away and make pretty good isk and be reasonably safe.

lol after losing a few prospects to pirates I've resorted to running this (almost exact) cheapest venture fit, except I am using scoops 2. What I do is find a remote low pop system where I set up my camp. I send in a venture, find a wh there and find gas site, mine it until npcs spawn, then jump in my cruiser, kill npcs, then back with venture and afk mine until full or gas site is empty. Being a such a cheap fit (around 14 mil with scoops 2) it pays for itself many times over before something kills it. Also I can't be bothered with D-Scanning all the time and staring at asteroids for hours, so I just run game in background. Also maybe it's just luck but I've noticed pirates rarely care to waste time hunting my venture, but they are much more enticed to hunt down my expensive prospects. The other last suggestion I have is to still keep orbiting the gas cloud (reduce speed to make sure its under 1500m), that way when NPCs spawn they will be 90+km away instead of right on top of you like in this video and you have lots of time to react.

Did it on the alt that you see in this video without the 1m free SP in three days.

Nope. It's all to do with "velocity vectors". Imagine arrows that grow outwards from the centre of your ship. If you're going in a direction at 100% speed, you have a 100% speed arrow going in that direction. When you go to warp, that arrow needs to slow down, turn to within 5° of the destination and speed back up to at least 75%. If you're not going in a direction, the arrow is at zero and not pointing in any direction. When you hit "Warp To" from stationary, the arrow just starts to grow in the direction already. The actual ship graphics don't matter.

This is wrong. Utterly wrong. To warp, two things must happen: 1) You must be aligned with 5° of the target. 2) You must be moving at 75% of your maximum velocity, or faster. Ship facing doesn't matter, it's just graphics, what DOES matter is your ships velocity and velocity has a direction. If you are moving directly away from the destination, you must slow down, realign, and reaccelerate to 75% in the correct direction. If you are motionless, your velocity is zero and you accelerate at the exact same rate in ANY direction. The "Time to Warp" in the fitting screen is based on you being stationary. You will only instawarp if you are moving at 75% max velocity in the correct direction (facing within 5° of the target)
