'''Mining barges''' are the next step up from the Venture, with much higher mining yields, larger ore bays and/or a stronger tank. Also, in contrast to the Venture, the mining barges can fit strip miners (with much higher yield than normal mining modules) and [[Ice Mining|ice miners]]. There are three mining barges, each optimized for a different role: The Procurer has a strong tank, the Covetor a high mining yield, and the Retriever a large ore bay.

The Procurer is the toughest of the three mining barges, achieving battlecruiser-level [[EHP]] even with inexpensive modules. Its ore hold is 70% larger than a Covetor's (but about half the size of a Retriever's) and can fit about 15 minutes' worth of mined ore. The Procurer's base mining yield is the the same as the Retriever's (and about 10-20% lower than a Covetor's), making it an excellent ship for mining in the lower-security (0.6 or 0.5) areas of high security space.

If you are mining without support in higher-security areas (0.7 and above), the Retriever is a good ship to use, as its middling yield (about 10-20% lower than a Covetor) is more than compensated by its vast ore bay, reducing the number of ore drop-off runs that need to be made.

About

John started his capsuleer life on December 10, YC120 and joined EVE University later that month on December 29, YC120. After acceptance to the university he promptly joined the Amarr Mining Campus as it allowed his to continue his studies in computer science in parallel. As an Eagle Scout, John was excited to be a leader in his class, providing knowledge from both the university and his personal experience to new capsuleers. An eager, hands-on learner, John set aside mining barges he had collected and quickly invested in new mining foreman platforms such as the Porpoise and larger Orca, what he is currently mastering.

Education

Before joining EVE University, John Silverfox received his bachelors degree in Computer Science, focusing on Cyber Security. During his previous education he had utilized many languages, both programming and scripting. Languages include C, C++, Python and Java but also C# (Mono), Fortran, COBOL, Common Lisp, JavaScript, Pascal, Perl (5 and 6), PHP, PowerShell, Python, Unix, Shell, VBScript to "name a few".

John also has a background in rudimentary mechanical engineering. He has build a few machines of the skeletal remains of old FIRST robots and turned them into what some would call... a battle bot. John is no longer allowed inside his local engineering lab without adult supervision.

Hobbies & Interests

John enjoys Military History. Often he can be found playing war games on his personal computer, and even the relic table top Command Decision. He has always had a passion for science fiction, his favorite film being the 42nd remake of Wrath of Khan. John does his best to maintain physical strength, be it simple workouts or cross-fit.

Values

There are 12 principles a Boy Scout lives by which is actually considered the Scout Law. "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent." All leaders must have and live by a set of values. An Eagle Scout since YC114, John takes these values very seriously.
