As the table above shows, the Procurer | As the table above shows, the Procurer has better tank and time-to-warp than other barges, at a lower hull replacement cost. WT scouts have, in the past, ignored Procurers in favor of targeting Retrievers or Covetors mining elsewhere in Sierra. Procurers can fit a Damage Control unit in a low slot, and shield hardeners in mids, and still have enough room for a Survey Scanner and Mining Laser Upgrade to help with mining. For example: | ||

The only downside of the Procurer is its relatively low mining yield. The Skiff is even tankier than the Procurer, and gets mining yield bonuses that make it about as efficient as a Covetor. Even though the replacement cost looks prohibitive, it is extremely difficult for a solo or small group of pirates to take down a Skiff. <br /> | |||
