Barge owners were notable for removing its hitbox to not be interrupted by asteroid or NPCs to maximise the profit/ease over actually being part of roleplay environment. So congratulate those players who used this ship for not-intended purpose that led to complete removal of Barge in the first place.

I tried it; the Admins stopped it.
"It was removed previously due to jump trading causing massive economy issues. It was not reintroduced yet."
-Cut the Cargo Size to 35,000
-Reduce thesize accoringly, perhaps by 35%-25%
-Remove Equipment Mounts responsible for jump-trading
-Boost its speed to 200 (in cruise speed mode) and 60 (normal flight)
-in return, give it a few more turrets. Afterall, the ship is huge, so not all turrets will get to hit the target whatsoever.
-Let the Barge be owned by Corporate Factions and OFs that made relevant RP towards manufacturing Barges.
Actual, the Barge has only 25.001 Cargo and has 7 turrets (up to Cruiser-Class!!!).
And even when I offered not to jump with the barge, the admin response was still "no".
Yes, i still would like to get a Barge. And i had one in the past, so i konw how ugly this beast flies.
The Barge is only usefull for RP, because you won't have the chance to enter the most Jump-Holes becouse of the asteroid arround them. (Ok, you can go there, but only in /stuck-Speed.)
And no one should try to land on a planet or dock at a Jumpgate. The chance, thay you die while undocking the planet is about 95% and the chance to enter a Jumpgate is extrem low...
