As the table above shows, the Procurer has better tank and time-to-warp than other barges, at a lower hull replacement cost. The Procurer's role bonus for the Ice Harvester is different from its bonus to the Strip Miner, and that actually results in it being a slightly better ice miner than an ore miner. Procurers can fit a Damage Control unit in a low slot, and shield hardeners in mids, and still have enough room for other mid-slot modules and an Ice Harvesting Upgrade to help with mining.

If the fleet commander (FC) thinks that the chance of miners getting tackled is high, then they should be in Procurers. However, the Procurer has two significant disadvantages, both of which are enhanced with the Kronos patch: the Procurer has the lowest mining efficiency of all barges, and it only gets worse with Kronos; and it is fairly fast (160 m/sec, up from 90 m/sec pre-Kronos), making mining aligned more difficult. (More on mining aligned below.) In cases where miners are expected to mine in peace most of the time, an agility-rigged Retriever is a better choice: | If the fleet commander (FC) thinks that the chance of miners getting tackled is high, then they should be in Procurers.
