The Retriever has the largest ore hold out of the T1 mining barges (27,500&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup> at {{sk|Mining Barge|V}}, enough for almost half an hour's worth of mined ore), but has only the same base yield as the Procurer (although the Retriever has more low slots and can therefore fit more Mining Laser Upgrade modules, increasing its yield somewhat). 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.

However, its tank, while about 40% stronger than a Covetor's, remains very weak and vulnerable to [[Suicide Gank|suicide ganking]], therefore it nay be worth flying a Procurer if you're worried about losing your ship to suicide gankers (the downside being that you will need to return to a station twice as often to empty your ore hold).
