Currently once a player has achieved the skills to pilot a retriever they skip the covetor and go directly to the hulk as its only a day of more skilling to pilot making the Covetor an obsolete ship and creating a huge gap between the Retriever and "next-in-line" ship upgrade.
Thanks for reading and supporting this.

Yes that true, but if you learn exhumers, if you want 3 months old account can fly them. What is next? Nothing that is pretty fast. Why don't we have real capital mining ships with capital mining strips?
P.S. I have Orca and Rorqual but they are not capital mining ships. They are barely command mining ships.

I am a new miner and am only a few days away from taking my first step into my hulk. At this moment members of my corp are outmining me in Battleships that have taken less time to train while I have spent... what I believe is now close to 30 days to have the skills for a ship that I will never use.
I fully support dropping either the mining barges V skill to IV or the astrogeology skill to IV for the covetor.
Also im honestly getting sick of staring at my retriever.

I've always wanted to step up from my Retriever, as I'm at Astrogeology Lvl 4, Mining 5, Industry 5, Mining Barges 4, Mining Foreman 4, Refining 5, processing skills to 3/4... just can't justify the training time, at the moment, to get Hulk, with my other goals in Eve. And yet, with a lot of SP invested in mining and industry I can still only make ~ 3 Mil ISK per hour because I'm stuck in a Retriever with only two strip miners?

That's a very big hell yes thumbs up. The only reason anyone would fly a Covetor anymore is if they know there's a good chance they're going to lose it.

This is a quick fix that would make a lot of people happy.

Bumping for changing Retriever skill requirement to Mining Barge IV.

Covetor at Mining Barge V and Astrogeology IV. Right now it requires BOTH at 5, which is a bit over the top.

Im not a miner and I hate it. but 1 good use of the tier 3 is that its cheap. So if you get ganked in high sec you can replace it faster than your t2 variant... same applies in low/null sec.
so perhaps the tier 3 is not correctly viewed by the community. Lots of pirates and "bad boys" out there is that if they see a hulk AFK, they will "probably" try to gank it. at that level you should know better than to go AFK 
so this is not supported. But I do understand the logic behind it. You miners are not viewing it my way so your wrong

I support the general idea, dont have enough insight to assess the proposed fix though.

I don't see what you're trying to say? This is _not_ a proposal that will decrease the number of AFK hulks available for ganking. This proposal is to make the Covetor a viable stop on the path to piloting a Hulk.
As it stands, Retriever -> Covetor is a about a month of training, and then Covetor -> Hulk is two more days. It makes no sense for people to purchase the third-tier barge when they'll only be buying a Hulk two days later.
However, people will still be training for the Hulk because it's still much better than the Covetor.
