The nostalgia bug has just bitten me, I remember when one had to organize multiple escorts for a dedicated few hours simply to move a barge through 3 systems... the hours I used to spend at my computer Role Playing with the convoy while I played fly swatter to the pesky NPC's that sought to flip the barge like a drunken sailor as we flew in parallel to the trade lanes. IC used to know how to do a good convoy and this will hopefully bring those days back to the future.

That's already been accounted for, see:

Removal of the Barge in its current form is definite. After the next update the Barge as we know it will not exist anymore, so if you want to buy/sell a Barge, do so with that in mind. What's still undecided is what the ship will be replaced with and that's the reason this thread is posted: To brainstorm the possible replacements for the Barge.

Doesn't that contradict with Kishiro lore by the way, as they were developing jump drives for small vessels?
"were" developing, Failures are common..
Or
Kishiro Tied up with House Military *Their Transports and Military Providing Jump Service*, RM Kusari Gallia joined hands to provide have special jump zones, so that foreign Military Ships can come and go.
This Way, Jumping is controlled by the Military, monthly jumping...Escorts..Transports coming together. *Pirates coming together to Intercept*.
