Checked out the Retriever setup, but its from 2006 and there is no mention what is a good setup for the upgrade slots or rigs. So does anyone have a new and improve '08-'09 setup that include rig options?
Thank you

Well a retriever is considered to be the first mining barge to get into, so all you need is 2 Strip miners a survey scanner and 2 cargohold expanders and then mine and train for the covetor and then go into exhumers. Rigs are kinda worthless on that ship.

Rigs are ok on a Retreiver as long as they are cheap and shield resist rigs are under 3 mil each so its fine to slap on a set to make sure you don't go pop to a .5 rat spawn as you take a leak or fix a snack.

i would advise against investing in rigs towards a retreiver. however, investing in a 3% or 5% mining yeild implant would be a good idea IMO. and use 5 light drones for defense as it's all you'll need to fend off rats in high sec. so what you would want to focus on is increasing your yeild to get the most out of the retreiver.
and get to the hulk ASAP. you will be soooooooooooooooo glad you did when it comes to mining.

Any cash you would spend on rigs should be spent on Implants, books and/or saving for your Hulk. If you find yourself in the midst of so much cash but still can't fly a hulk, give it to your corp. :P

Well I guess I should have added that the rigs and small extender are optional and simply for the ease of walking away from your paper thin barge to do something without worring about coming back to a pod if your gone longer than a few minutes. Also implants and mlu on a retriever are not so good an idea unless you really want to completely focus attention on your barge for the entire time your mining for the tbqh minimal gain in yield over the time you will spend getting to a Hulk.
Why?
Retriever base cargo: 2000m3
Retriever yield with t2 strips only: 2103m3 per cycle.
Retriever yield adding in an mlu and 3% implant: 2281m3 per cycle.
Now if you want you can micro your barge and stagger the two strips but then you give up one of the truely blessed things about using a barge to mine in past the increased yield.
3 minute cycles.
Now I'm a lazy bastage when it comes to mining so its mandatory for me to queue up a bunch of shows to watch whilst I vacuum up all the roids in my system so having to not even look at my barges for the full 3 minutes is very nice for me. But if you can stomach the micro then by all means go right ahead.
