Covetor

The Covetor is the largest craft in a ship class designed by the ORE Syndicate to facilitate the advancement of the mining profession to a new level. Mining barges are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining modules. Coupled with a sizable cargo hold and a goodly drone bay, this makes them extremely efficient ore extraction vessels.

The Covetor is the T1 mining barge with the highest potential yield. However, it has a poor tank compared to the Procurer and a small ore hold compared to the Mackinaw. This mining barge is therefore most effective when supported by a jet-can collector and combat ships to guard it from belt rats.
