|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 Retriever's being storage. Although it only has space to fit two mining or ice harvesting modules, a fast loading system allows those two module to do the work of three modules.

==Summary==

Of the mining barges, the Retriever has the largest ore bay 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. Additionally, the Retriever can fit an adequate tank to survive a ''suicide gank''. cf. http://greedygoblin.blogspot.com/p/why-was-i-ganked.html

==Tactics==

No longer just the stepping-stone to the [[Hulk]] it was before, the Retriever can now function as a solid medium-skill solo miner while you work up to the T2 ships. It still can't match the yield of the Hulk or [[Covetor]], but does have the ability to hold nearly as much ore as a jetcan, making solo mining a much simpler affair than ever before. Be wary, though, as even a well-tanked Retriever is still very vulnerable to suicide ganking. AFK mining is, as ever, a very poor idea.
