In the light of recent experimental developments, increasing attention is devoted to nuclear phenomena related to rotational excitations of exotic intrinsic nuclear configurations that often lack symmetries present in the majority of nuclei. Examples include configurations with a non-vanishing octupole moment. In order to describe this kind of states, we have developed a new computer code to solve the self-consistent mean-field equations, able to use most of todays effective Skyrme interactions and working in coordinate-space. We report on the development of MOCCa, a code based on the same principles as EV8, but offering the user individual control on many symmetry assumptions. In addition, the HF+BCS pairing treatment of EV8 has been generalised to the full machinery of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov transformations. We discuss as example the static fission barrier of $^{226}$Ra, prefacing extended studies in the region, using the recent series of Skyrme parameterizations SLy5s1 through SLy5s8.
