I know this probably is not a scenario for most barge users, because barges is mainly used in Hisec. Anyway. I run two accounts with a barge on each, and another with a hauler. I`m currently mining in 0.1 sec. In order to survive, I`ve come up with this setup by myself:
Hi: Stripminers
Med: Micro Electromechanical Capacitor Injector (Cap Charge 50 x 5)
Low: Small "Accommodation" Vestment Reconstructer I 200mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates
I`d use the T2 repper, but I cant fit it yet.
This barely fits with Engeneering IV and Electronics IV
For now I use 2 x Hammerhead I and 1 x Acolyte I in each barge. I can take down 3 x 150k Cruiser spawns, but I`m training Drones V on both accounts so I can start using T2 Drones.
Please post your Retriever setups if you are doing lowsec. I`d like to get some tips on this one.

Here is what I use in 0.4 but haven't had a need to go lower (yet)
Hi: Strippers of your choice
Mid: Barton Reactor Capacitor Recharger
Low: T2 Armor Repper 200mm Reinforces Crystaline Cabonide Plates
Drones: 5 hobgoblins
This is also figureing drones 5, drone interfacing 2 (minimum) and maybe some drone sharpshooting and durability

El Nemico do you mine those Barges together or separate? Hence you have 6 drones to take on those Cruisers or 3?

I mine with the barges together... Now both barges has 5 Acolyte II each... eats even a BC spawn before it breaks my tank..
That Drone interfacing 4 is really key...

Thx for the reply.
Ah so you have 10 drones with Interface IV to take out those spawn's, nice. Not a setup available to many new or solo(single) account players :)

in 0.0 I use nanos in the lows
if I get locked I warp out as Im always prealigned for a SS or station.
i.e. I also alternate 1 miner 1 security pull out the hauler when i need to etc etc

Something I do, which is kinda offbeat... I fit a target booster in the mid slot. Normal targetting range on a barge is about 25km, with a booster that puts it out to -almost- 40km, which is max range of my drones atm. I keep the drones in the bay, target shows up, I target them when in range and launch the drones, and set them on the rat. The extra range gives me the extra response time, plus allows time for the rat to lock me, and not my drones. I can rep myself, so taking it into armor is not as big a thing as having to stop mining, and go back to base to get more drones.
So, my set up
Hi: Strippers Med: Sensor Booster Low: Armor rep, and either plate, or upgrade device depending on what I am mining. |

One would guess he has a Covetor rather than a Retriever. Handy with 50m3 Drone bay and the third laser but needs mining barge 5 to run. (About 25 days training). Covetors are running at about 24m versus 7m for a retriever so it's also not too much to have invested in lowsec for a 50% mining haul improvement if you can do the training to get one.

Edited by: Ann Caldera on 07/03/2007 00:10:29 Edited by: Ann Caldera on 07/03/2007 00:10:17 I just purchased my Retriever two weeks ago, and I've not locked into one setup yet, but right now I like to jam with my Retriever. I figure it gives my self-defense drones more survivability.
2x Modulated Strip Miner
1x Named Multispectral (Gotta be one of the top two, or the CPU won't fit.)
1x Small Armor Repairer II 1x Po-Processor I
2x Miner I 2x Hobgoblin I 1x Warrior I
I don't use this setup to mine in 0.0, or even 0.2, but I can mine a pile of Jaspet in 0.4 space and those three drones are usually enough to eliminate the rats while I mine, IF I jam them. I'd love to hear what other people think of this.

And I figure you're imagining things.

See, that's what I was afraid of, that it was just my imagination! I THOUGHT that they were taking fewer hits, but I also knew that 5 battles wasn't enough of a sample size to know for sure one way or the other.
Well, thanks for explaining that to me. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

I've been operating in .4 space lately, and here's my fit:
2xstripminers 1x survey scanner 200mm rolled tungsten plate small armor repper 5xlight drones
The worst spawn I get in this system is a double cruiser spawn, and I'm able to tank it while the drones take it down, but it's a close thing. Anything smaller than that is not an issue.

we're talking about retrievers here... you know... MINING barges...
How are you going to MINE without at least 1 miner or stripminer installed? :/ ----------------------------------------------- Better, stronger, & smarter than you! Who cares about good looks :P |

Ehm you CAN use barges as traps you know --- So I flame and troll when the occasion calls for it. So what are you gonna do about it? |

OK well there is a different approach to setting up the retriever. For example, I will be mining in 0.0 - the only real concern is the drone spawns eating me up (can go as high as 3 battleships) so instead of trying to tank, the emphasis is on warping out. Also useful if a pirate comes and tries to kill you.
Hi 2x Strip Miner
Med Cap Recharger
Lo Inertial Stabilizer Warp Core Stabilizer
The inertial stabilizer makes warping out if youre not aligned MUCH quicker.

Erm you cant fit 5 hammerhead II's in a ship with only 25m3 drone space. 5 Hobgoblin II's sounds more like it!

In 0.0 sec, nothing but inertia/nanofibers are needed, besides stripminers and survey scanners.. I¦d like to see someone tank 3 x 1.95mill battleship rats =)..
If rats spawn, dock. If a hostile enters system, dock. Its that simple..
