==Summary==
==Summary==
The Retriever has the largest ore bay out of the T1 mining barges, the second highest tank, and a middling yield. As a result, if you need to mine without support from other pilots and are not at substantial risk of being attacked, the retriever should be your choice. If you are worried about being a gank target, the Retriever can fit a decent tank by using a DC in the low slots and a shield extender in the mid combined with shield resistance rigs. While the yield will be reduced due to losing a mining upgrade the improved tank can be a nasty surprise for gankers expecting an easy kill.
Of the mining barges, the Retriever has the largest ore bay while being in the middle for hit points and yield. This makes the Retriever most useful for solo mining by reducing the frequency of trips to unload. Additionally, the Retriever can fit a decent tank with slight yield reduction (about 10%) to survive a ''suicide gank'' long enough for CONCORD's arrival.  cf. http://greedygoblin.blogspot.com/p/why-was-i-ganked.html
