John Silverfox is an active pilot in New Eden and within EVE University. When not busy managing assets planet-side, he prefers the more peaceful zen activity of harvesting moon juice and obese rocks. Not only does he find this activity relaxing, but it also provides ample time to enjoy a tasty meal of ramen noodles.  John often spends his time in command either gazing the the beauty that is New Eden or participating in mining operations throughout known space.
'''Mining barges''' are the next step up from the Venture, with much higher mining yields, larger ore bays and/or a stronger tank. Also, in contrast to the Venture, the mining barges can fit strip miners (with much higher yield than normal mining modules) and [[Ice Mining|ice miners]]. There are three mining barges, each optimized for a different role: The Procurer has a strong tank, the Covetor a high mining yield, and the Retriever a large ore bay.  
 
  
{{expansion past|The Procurer used to only have 1 high slot, while the Coveter would have 3. The Retriever still held 2 high slots. This was changed during the September 13th update in 2016, which overhauled the mining barges/exhumers.}}

== Procurer ==
 
  
The Procurer is the toughest of the three mining barges, achieving battlecruiser-level [[EHP]] even with inexpensive modules. Its ore hold is 70% larger than a Covetor's (but about half the size of a Retriever's) and can fit about 15 minutes' worth of mined ore. The Procurer's base mining yield is the the same as the Retriever's (and about 10-20% lower than a Covetor's), making it an excellent ship for mining in the lower-security (0.6 or 0.5) areas of high security space.

John started his capsuleer life on December 10, YC120 and joined EVE University later that month on December 29, YC120.  After acceptance to the university he promptly joined the Amarr Mining Campus as it allowed him to continue ongoing studies in computer science concurrently.  An Eagle Scout, John was excited to be a leader in his class, providing knowledge from both the university and his personal experience to new capsuleers.  An eager, hands-on learner, John set aside mining barges he had collected and quickly invested in new mining foreman platforms such as the Porpoise and larger Orca, what he is currently mastering.
  
The Covetor has the greatest mining yield (about 10-20% more than a Retriever or a Procurer) out of the T1 mining barges, but has the smallest ore hold (it holds only about 5-8 minutes' worth of mined ore) and the least tank. As a result, you need support from another pilot (either flying a hauler or an [[Orca]]) to be effective at your role, as you waste the time saved mining by hauling the ore back to a station.

As Covetors are extremely easy to destroy in [[Suicide Gank|suicide gank]] attacks, using this ship without protection (or the possibility of storing it in an [[Orca]]'s Ship Maintenance Bay when attacked) is not recommended.

Before joining EVE University, John Silverfox received his bachelors degree in Computer Science, focusing on Cyber Security.  During his previous education he had utilized many languages, both programming and scripting. Languages include C, C++, Python and Java but also C# (Mono), Fortran, COBOL, Common Lisp, JavaScript, Pascal, Perl (5 and 6), PHP, PowerShell, Python, Unix, Shell, VBScript to "name a few".

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 may 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).

John also has a background in rudimentary mechanical engineering. He has built a few machines out of old FIRST Robotics skeletal remains, and turned them into what some would call... a battle bot. John is no longer allowed inside his local engineering lab without adult supervision.
