Use Ventures to distract your enemy while you send in your real attack force.

Use it as attack fighters, to draw away fire from enemy ships so that your main fleet will not be attacked as much as it would normally be. And I realized that having 1/4 of your entire fleet as being Venture class helps a lot since their pulse phasers give tremendous damage in large numbers. I once destroyed 2 Romulan D'Deridex Class warbirds and 2 Rheinn Class phaser refits with 16 Ventures alone. For some reason the AI doesn't attack my 9th Fleet (16 Ventures), I managed to destroy almost 6 Dominion Warships (FO 3.0 PR) while losing only 2 of my own Scouts because they rarely seem to fire back! |

I say they can be used as scouts but great for distracting enemy fleets or escorting ships even if they do die fast but in numbers they can be quite a problem. I use them to lead enemy ships away from an enemy base and then I send my main fleet in to take control of the base.

i had a venture moving inside the AI fleet, going the same direction, and it was not fired upon once, it was quite odd....

venturas may work in the beggining of the game, and if you build other ships too, but just try going against me with only venturas the entire game.
