| | <li>This fit has offensive modules (warp disruptor, or "point", and web) in mid slots, for a couple of reasons. The Procurer receives substantial bonuses to drone damage, and that makes the Procurer an effective attacker against frigate and destroyer opponents, as long as you can hold them in place. The fleet booster will be fit with a shield boosting module that will enhance shield resistances; additional resistance mods would be subject to stacking penalties. The FC may ask some miners to replace their points with warp scramblers ("scrams") for tactical flexibility.</li> |

| | <li>The Medium Higgs Anchor I rig increases the agility of the Procurer, while reducing the ship's velocity. As explained below, this is actually a win-win in terms of mining aligned. However, it does roughly double the ship's mass, which will impact the stability of the entrance wormhole.</li> |

| 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:

| In the end, we may use mixed fleets of Retrievers and Procurers—Retrievers for yield, and Procurers for bait.
