@Snake3 - regardless of its "intended" role or past role, PoBs make the role more obsolete, or at the least offer as good a platform for RP. I see this as changing with the times.
Also, what's wrong with wanting to use a barge to make money? Are you gonna say next that transports are wrong, and we should only really use freighters?
I'm not talking about a major remake here. I just think making 1 minor adjustment would make the ship MUCH better without becoming overpowered.
