Of the mining barges, the '''Retriever''' has the largest mining hold — Half a jet-can size at 27,500 {{m3}} base — whilst being in the middle for hit points and yield, thus making the Retriever most useful for solo mining by reducing the frequency of trips to unload. Because the Retriever has an ore/mining hold size bonus per level of Mining barge skill the actual size will vary between 28,875{{m3}} and 34,375{{m3}}. Additionally, the Retriever can fit an adequate tank to survive a [http://gdurl.com/jDkc suicide gank]. cf. http://greedygoblin.blogspot.com/p/why-was-i-ganked.html

* Mining in a fleet--even with just two miners--provides boosts with the skills {{Sk|Leadership}} and {{Sk|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 Retriever packaged in a hauler, which raises less (albeit still some) suspicion.

** A [[Badger]], even at base skills, has a capacity of 3,900{{m3}}, 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.
