Trust Anna. Anna tells the truth.

I'm currently working to SRP one as a flying shipyard/deep space factory, in accordance to its infocard.

shouldnt be back or if get back, make it so painful to use that only those really serious about using it would do it. (no cruise so have to cross systems at impulse speed). Small core so after few shots of the 7 guns its empty. no nanos and half batt. and nerfed hull strength! anyway dont see it coming soon unless the pob get removed from game

You -really- think the barge could ever defend itself? Really?

What she said. It's been a huge brick. You can't really miss it. The same how you can't really miss a Nephilim (:

The turrets don't even have the range to fire down its whole length. It's useless to anyone -unless- you want to RP with it.

I don't really see an issue with bringing it back with Disco's current jump mechanics.

This would work for me. Give some of the factions who would 'need' one of these and aren't dedicated shippers like military shippers (logistics groups) something similar to a massive master-transport that could hold things like contraband and special materials, should they not have a PoB to hide it in and groups IRG, who could use a Barge to maybe mass-transport large research projects (or hide a Corvo)
tl;dr I like what Wesker said. Make it cost a faction perk, maybe a FR3, or somethin'.

it can still be exploited as additional storage for POBs, there used to be one with 4 barges docked on it and was being used in that way, because let's face it what use could it have? afk trading 50k from solars?
