info: 'The mining barge was designed by ORE to facilitate advancing the mining profession
|
|
to a new level. Each barge was created to excel at a specific function, the Covetor''s
|
|
being mining yield. This additional yield comes at a price, as the Covetor has
|
|
weaker defenses and a smaller ore bay than the other mining barges.
|
|
|
|
|

Mining barges are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to
|
|
accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.'

## Summary
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
Of the mining barges, the Covetor has the greatest yield whilst having the smallest mining hold and the least tank, making it unsuitable/impractical for solo mining but by far the best in boosted/protected fleet mining.

## Skills

|
|

</div>
|
|
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Covetor for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.

|
## Tactics
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
Suicide ganking is a popular play-style and miners are prime targets; cf. Why Was I Ganked?.
|
|
Covetors are a ganker's target of choice due to its inadequate tank and advertises, "I have no tank, only yield"
|
|
Fit enough tank (and train tanking skills) to survive the ganker's DPS long enough for CONCORD to destroy the ganker; as of Rubicon 1.2, this means surviving a Catalyst's 728.2 DPS for 20 seconds--14,564 Void damage--in a 0.6 system
|
|
No Covetor fit can tank long enough in 0.5, even with all level V skills
|
|
A solo tanked Covetor has less than 1% more yield than a tanked Retriever, which is further reduced by more frequent (four times) trips to unload
|
|
Use and keep launched ECM drones
|
|
This lets gankers know that you are expecting them and implies you are tanked for them; this is deterrence
|
|
This provides a chance to break the ganker's target lock for 20 seconds
|
|
Setting drones to aggressive lets them engage your aggressor without having to target-lock first (see Using Drones)
|
|
Fitting expensive meta modules may compel a duo gank due to their high-value loot chance
|
|
Trade hubs (especially Hek) and ice belt systems are popular hunting grounds for gankers
|
|
Mine aligned to a celestial/station for faster warp-out
|
|
Warping out when a non-mining ship enters your belt/anomaly is prudent
|
|
Other mining ships may be scouts for gankers; it is good to know who your neighbors are and put known gankers on your contact list with terrible standing
|
|
If attacked, overload your tank modules
|
|
Mining in a fleet--even with just two miners--provides boosts with the skills Leadership and Mining Foreman
|
|
It is impolite (and diminishes yield) to mine a rock someone else is already mining: when the rock runs out of ore, the first laser to cycle will get the last ore but the other lasers will continue to cycle (up to 3 minutes) and get nothing
|
|
Due to how vulnerable and cumbersome the mining barges are, it is ill-advised to travel between stargates in lowsec in one, as they make for very juicy targets. Instead, a good idea is to transport your Covetor packaged in a hauler, which raises less (albeit still some) suspicion.
|
|
A Badger, even at base skills, has a capacity of 3,900, allowing it to carry a packaged mining frigate, barge, and even an exhumer, and still have enough cargo space for its modules, can perform the cloak trick, and when designed well, can align in under 6 seconds. Beware however, that when packaging a ship, all its rigs are destroyed, so either use cheap Tech I rigs or design your ship around not using them.
