Is it possible to force the barge to eat resources? What I mean is, A mobile monstrosity like that should get like, 'a mile to the gallon' or somesuch & would make people who want to fly the thing to fill their hold w/ say, 35-50% of commodities needed just to get to where they're going...the rest could more than pay for the cost of the run & still grant a hefty enough profit...plus, I like the idea that if a player runs 'out of gas' they would need help from others to get to where they're trying to get to. Y'know?
one thing to remeber if you make the barge undockable you will also need to make it where it cant be pirated as much.. maybe taking several battleships to kill it.. it was designed by info card as a mobile deep base a stand alone factory.. lets make it that give it /shop and docking.. base shields and armor that require resources but jump capable also.. it will have to rely on others to be "feed" loaded and unloaded -- but it also needs controll for docking liek the /base controls
