So I have recently been running a shield tanked procurer as a drone boat able to take on T3 mission. The problem is I fitted the high slot with a core probe launcher in order to run combat sites in high sec but the acceleration gates wont let my ship through. Why would they limit mining barges lol I just want to run some sites with this for giggles. Do any of the combat sites let mining barges in?P

I would recommend you to train for a Vexor Navy. Less tank but much more potential dps. That makes more rat kills per hour. And use a Target Painter to drag a bit more aggro from your drones or you will loose a lot of them. A remote Repper will be useful too to rep your drones on the Field.
Fly safe.

I did not know that, and my first thought was, "Because they are for mining, not for exploring."
But that is Bs.
Fly whatever you want for whatever reason and purpose you like. If it works, enjoy it. If not, try something else. Fly safe, or dangerously. Whatever fits you. Bear

That's really weird since they have a really small volume too (2500 m3 vs like 5k for cruisers) so it's really weird it can't fit through smaller things :P

What does volume have to do with WHs? They are using mass.
Acceleration gates use arbitrary class restrictions.
And no, I don't really know why barges are not allowed into complexes. Probably because classes are whitelisted instead of banned and CCP didn't think that anyone would want to do that.

Honestly? Because usually mass and volume are related in eve. Most ships have similar density. So apparently mining ships are just rediculously dense. A mining barge apparently has a density of 8000 (packaged) vs 1207 for cruisers. Maybe it's just me, but I find the high density kinda funny. It's one of those things that makes no sense in reality, but it's just one of those random things the developers put in, and this was unforeseen (I'm guessing?).

mass never made a sense in a wormhole but I guess that has to with it transferring a certain amount of data (mass) from 1 side of the wormhole to the other if you go by Stephen Hawkings theory when he said black holes existed.

but more importantly how did everyone get WHs from using a procurer for combat sites using acceleration gates?
