The Retriever can have a max of 22,400 ORE storage. The Covetor only 7.000.0 (installed 2x Cargo expand II)which is less? But the vessel is more expensive also.


With maxed mining barge and skills a Retriever can hold 27,500 m3 worth of ore.

And cargo expanders don't work on ore bays (only cargo holds).

You may want one Medium Cargo Expander I (raising the cargo hold to 517.5m3 with max skills) if you're carrying various T2 crystals and ice miners for strip mining, as 2 crystals are 50m3 and you must leave 25m3 free in the cargo bay to switch 1 crystal.

My strip miners I also extract less. 930 per 180 sec instead of the 1160 per 180 sec with the Retriever Sad


930 x 3 > 1160 x 2

Math is hard, I know.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Do cargo expanders increase ore hold capacity now then?!?


No. They only expand the cargo section. Not the Ore hold section. So, it's not that useful on mining ships. Plus you end up losing armor (or structure HP?) and speed. So, it's not worth it.

HOWEVER

Increasing certain skill points will increase ore hold capacity (unless I'm mistaken... Someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

The mining barge skill increases ore hold capacity for the retriever/machinaw.

I think that's about it, the others have different bonuses for their skills.
