==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Covetor has the greatest yield out of all the T1 mineing barges, but it has the least tank and the smallest ore hold, which makes it unsuited to solo operations, and vunerable 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 shortcomeings and allow you to leverage the better extraction rates.
Of the [[Mining Barges|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.


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.

''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Covetor for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
* Suicide ganking is a popular play-style and miners are prime targets; cf. [https://greedygoblin.blogspot.com/p/why-was-i-ganked.html 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#Drone behavior settings|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 {{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 Covetor 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.
