' Wrote:jumping is the real problem with them and should be the priority fix
Once that's fixed just make it really slow. It's already completely vulnerable to piracy. I'd really like to see tradelanes refuse them due to size ("unable to accomodate ships of your size"), and remove the cruise engine. Then give them normal speed.
I'd like to see 6 implemented somehow but that's too punitive with the massive drifting and no cruise engine
Its already nearly impossible to get a barge into a lane, even with a /stuck macro. The .85 barge could get in lanes, but the .86 barge I've only seen do it once, and it took a long time.
