| A series of ambitious modifications have been made to this Venture in some dark shipyard on the outer rim. The hangar space and ore bays have been replaced by a hard point capable of mounting an enormous missile launcher, munitions storage, and a largely reliable generic autoloader system. The fact that this missile launcher is rear-facing has inspired a great number of colorful nicknames for this hull variant by crew and foe alike.

Overview[]
The Venture is a cheap exploration cruiser with built-in Surveying Equipment, generous cargo capacity and above average range. It is widely available and has remarkably low supply use. In combat it's a low-tech ship through and through, with good armor and hull and poor flux dissipation/shield.
Care should be taken when using the Venture because its Civilian-grade Hull-enlarged sensor profile can attract a lot of unwanted attention both inside and outside of core worlds. Fitting Militarized Subsystems and/or Insulated Engine Assembly is recommended.
Variants[]
The stock Venture comes with built-in Mining Pod Drone Wing and surprising amount of frontal missile firepower, especially when combined with its Fast Missile Racks system.
The Pirate variant of the Venture replaces the hangar with 1 large missile slot facing backwards, limiting the type of missile you might place to ones that have a tracking ability, or putting unguided missiles into an unconventional role. It tends to be extremely tight on flux as it features four medium ballistic mounts.
The Luddic Path variant also loses the drones but omits the usual Safety Overrides in favour of Orion Device instead, considerably improving its rather anemic speed.
The Bonk[]
The Luddic Path variant of the Venture is able to ram targets at extreme speed using the burst from its Orion Device. Unlike the Retribution, the Venture is better armored than any Battlecruiser, letting it handle collisions better in most situations.
The system also creates an actual explosion behind the ship, providing some coverage to the rear in a similar manner to Canister Flak.
