==== Mining Barges ====

Of the three mining barges, only the [[Covetor]] has a role bonus to ice mining (25% reduction in cycle time and activation cost). All three barges have a 2% per level of {{sk|Mining Barge|icon=yes}}). The [[Covetor]] however, has a fairly small ore hold (7000 m<sup>3</sup>), and will fill up fairly quickly. The [[Procurer]] and the [[Retriever]] have a bonus of 2% each and the same ice mining yield, and each ship has a different strength (the Retriever has a very large ore hold, and the Procurer a very tough tank). While all Barges now use two ice harvesters, the Procurer only has two low slots, while the Covetor and Retriever each have three allowing for an additional harvester upgrade. As when using these ships for ore mining, the choice depends on your play style. Flying in a dangerous region of space? Use a Procurer. Want to mine for long stretches without returning to a station? Use a Retriever. Want to get the absolute maximum amount of ice you can? Use a Covetor.

Of the three mining barges, only the [[Covetor]] has a role bonus to ice mining (25% reduction in cycle time and activation cost). All three barges have a 2% reduction in Ice Harvester duration and 5% bonus to range per level of {{sk|Mining Barge|icon=yes}}).
