It's working, my ship has just returned from a 64h venture, and brought money and other things. And yes, as chew-ie points out below, reward is in the other tab.

You have to collect the reward manually in the Venture-GUI (there is a second "tab")

I haven't been involved in long term ventures. Do I have to keep the client running or use SETA for the 64h venture to run?

No, they all happen (from your perspective) offline. You can send today and log off, come back in three days and get your reward. Yet as far as I understand how it works that ship of yours would still have to clock 64 hours in other people's games. Which sometimes leads to visitors in your games being there seemingly "forever".

some pro tips.

Save before sending, save after sending (load after time pass the last save) if ship destroyed Load the first save
(use 8 hours before work)

Does that ever happen? I've never had a venturing ship destroyed, freighter or fighter, so I'm curious if it's even possible yet.

To be fair - 1.5 was the introduction of that feature. Since then a lot has happened & I never lost a ship afterwards while making millions & getting a lot of skins & crafting materials.

Placeholder I guess - I did a lot of 64h and 8h ventures, never lost a ship after my first Nova ( :( ) and one Kestrel. Those two I lost on feature introduction.

Did you loose your ships on 20h ventures?

Make sure you are matching your ship to the venture. It lists what ship should be used in what venture in the list.
Irrational factors are clearly at work.

Shrug. I've sent freighters, scouts, fighters, frigates, and corvettes, to all venture types. Feels like they might've disabled the "bad" outcomes and never made another pass on this since.

About the ship destruction thing....a patch before 3.0 actually disabled your ships being destroyed for the time being on the peaceful ventures.

They later want to allow you to send ships to WAR Ventures where people that are up to the challenge can accept war ventures and have some fun.

At least that is the last I ever heard them say about it. I am also still waiting on the venture marketplace they announced way back when the game launched...........

Can more than one ship Venture at a time ?

I have one on a 20h Mission, but when I order another ship to go there it is not greyed out.

Kind of don't want to lose a trader to test this though ... Anyone tried it ?

You shouldn't be able to. It not being grayed out is peculiar though.

figure out why my Venture's are not "working".

i used to the automatic collection after a venture but seams to be removed somewhere along the updates, now you need to open the list of ventures.
consider it resolved.
