Covetor

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. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Covetor has the greatest yield out of all the T1 mining barges, but it has the least tank and the smallest ore hold, which makes it unsuited to solo operations, and vulnerable to being ganked. If you want to fly one, it is best to work together with other pilots in a fleet to make up for the ships shortcomings and allow you to leverage the better extraction rates.
It also has a larger drone bay and bandwidth then the other T1 barges (50 compared to 25), so can make short work of many belt NPCs, and can prove a surprise for an unaware ganker.

- This is a good point to train for T2 Strip Miners, which add a significant boost to your mining output but require more management and capacitor skills.
- With no capacitor skills, you'll only just have enough capacitor to start all three strip miners at once, and only with hisec ore crystals. This can cause problems especially if you want to start mining just after coming out of warp, and training a couple of capacitor skills at this point is recommended.
