Server has not a lot of barges now and i dont think its a big "problem". I dont remember when i saw barge last time(except of the mirror hehe).
My opinion is:
1) to save barges couse it helps to build bases
2) to cut the jumping possibility couse its too easy way for cashtrading. but better to increase cruise speed for 180 at least.

I can say as one of the FEW who actually rp'ed an barge. I flew it around the game and well it really brought RP along. Many use it for 1 purpose these days. Thats for powertrading/jumptrading. This is a shame, i guess thats why the open sales where closed back then. Also could you pm me the name of that server? I might go elsewhere to continue my old rp.
Also a barge is a hell of a job to fly. It gets easy stuck if you don't know how to fly it. And well the reason it was created was for a player as a unique ship. It became open, but as people only see the huge amount of cargo and think instantly within money they seem to overlook the hard flying of it. as the ship is not easy to fly in the first place.
But anyways its not about barges its about JUMPING. If you really want to talk about barges i would suggest make a different topic about it.

The only jump I've ever been involved in was a silver jump to gallia from humboldt.
It was cool to jump for the first time, but seemed like pure powertrading, as we avoided all interaction while carrying our ores, which makes for sad pierats.
Wait what exactly does 2 mean? That if you have a jump drive and can jump and another guy near you has the same you'll block each other? or that it'll be completely impossible to jump in groups?
Because in my opinion all 3 options suck.
2 is the worst , 3 is also extremely bad , as for 1 I don't use barge anyway (so for my personal opinion make number 1 (although that'll hurt the barge players hard) but buff the barges somehow , otherwise they'll just be big fat slow-movable storage satelites)
Simple, add 0.0 Rule restricting barge jumping, problem solved - Because there are a handful of them it wouldnt hurt anyone ~ I'd like that, because then the entire community won't have to suffer.
