The barge was nerfed to the point that some can't even use the ship anymore (after spending 15 billion credits on it). The ship can't even pass through some systems as the asteroids cause the ship to get stuck whereas it could have taken a trade lane. This has rendered some routes unserviceable, including supply routes for POBs. I recommended at the very least make the ship no-clip to offset this, but any feedback provided by the community has either been ignored or skirted. As a result, some have left the community.
If you can find a way to talk sense to those who can make the change, I will gladly give you all of my networth in Dosco. Until then, I wouldn't place any faith that this thread will even get glanced at.
It ain't about what you are capable of, it's about what you're willing to do.
