The Prospect is considered by many as the premier ship for gas harvesting. It mines faster than a Venture, has a large mining hold, and can fit a Covert Ops cloak. These benefits make it a good consideration for mining anywhere in New Eden and especially shines in places like Null-sec and J-space.
For the role of Blockade Runner these extra skills are recommended:
Expedition Frigates IV
Cloaking IV
Hull Upgrades IV
Shield Upgrades IV
Evasive Maneuvering IV
Navigation IV
Due to the lack of drones or built-in warp core stabilizers of the Venture, and thanks to its enlarged cargo hold, the Prospect is best used with a mobile depot to switch between a mining fit, focused on yield and a travel fit able to move about without issues in hostile areas, as well as deal with any rats that pop up.
Being the cheapest ship that can fit a Covert Cynosural Field Generator, this ship is most commonly used in K-Space for BLOPS drops, cynoing in a fleet of combat-capable cloaky ships such as stealth bombers or T3C's through a black ops battleship's covert jump bridge.
Most would see the Prospect as a Gas Harvester or Ninja Miner but the Prospect can also be used as a Blockade Runner. Its frigate classed hull (agility and speed) in combination with 12,500 mining hold makes it a superior choice when it comes to hauling compressed ore.
