Retriever (EVE Online) [5 Slots]

Description
Finally got around to updating this to actually be usable.

I've redone the internals and a little of the exterior so it now has a usable cargo hold for R-Miners. Only holds 900 units however, so I'd recommend a cargo extender or two. Shields are a bit weaker to make room for the new cargo space but I've added integrity field generators to make up for the lack of tank. Still flies like a brick so an acceleration upgrade is also recommended if you are personally flying it.

I've also added turret base blocks with Drazhill's nice strip miner model slightly recolored to match the color scheme.

Credit for the ship design goes to BiasVoltage as this is not my build. If you would like to download the original version, the file can be found on this forum post: https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php?topic=2688.0

Any plans on an orca?

Very nice build bro!
Being a old EvE miner this brings back memories! :steamhappy:

have anyone converted this one to a R-miner with cargo? if that is even possible?

Alright, I should pay attention to the dates more often then :P

Thank you!
Works a treat with normal turrets, but I can't bring myself to waste the efficiency of an R turret just to fly this beauty.

Here in the (nearish) future, I plan on on updating the ships so they are much more comfortable in the current version

The ship and comments are around two years old, from the way, way back where things like custom turrets/turret blocks didn't exist, nor did R-Turrets. Feature creep has taken its toll on many of the early ships, for better or for worse.

How are you guys saying this is a good mining ship? I made this last night (after nearly 1 hour of working out how to load pre-made designs lol).

This thing has 0 cargo space. How does it mine anything?
Unless you are not intending it to be used for R turrets - which are SO much more efficient at mining than the regular ones.

I also could not find the turret hardpoints to place the turrets and had to place my own - could anybody tell me how to find them?

I like your effort in the Retriever that I was hoping you would also make a Covetor variant. Sure its close to the same look but a tad longer and some minor details. Unfortuantely, I'm not very good at these things and was hoping someone could create it.

Also while there is a Procurer on the workshop, its far too large in comparison to the Retriever. If you could make one to scale with your Retriever, it would be quite amazing. Understandable if you skip the manifestation of Procurer/Covetor barges though.

Sy Have you played EVE Online? Do you know how fast the Barges are? They are slow on thrust that frigates can do circles around them with ease. You HAVE to make this ships slow so that when you build a frigate in this game, it can circle it like no tomorrow. Dumbwitted comment, mate.
