| 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. | |||

* 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. | |||
