[*] Remake Barge or Remove it

[Highland Laddie]

Holding cargo is already a job performed by PoBs and cargo pods/containers.

If you want the barge to be at all practical, either of my two simple suggestions could help without altering the ship significantly. Otherwise, they are mostly pointless, even as an RP tool.

Barge was developed first and her role has not changed and will not.

The Barge is fine as it is, it does not need to be changed, it should not be changed, and my guess is it will not be changed.
It is a fine ship, it makes for amazing RP, and movable base for ships to dock on and for holding cargo. You people just want some ship that makes 5 billion an hour am I right? If you don't like your Barge then fly a different ship.
People get Barges not just for the money you know. I want a Barge, not for trading but for a movable base and RP platform, I like what "Spazzy Dragon" said, you people might think they are crap, but there are people that think they are just fine. In fact I think it would ruin the Barge to add those "buffes"
Do not make it smaller, the pure size is awesome, you can make anyone feel like some little rat in it
And the speed is really what makes it feel like a gaint
Sorry for all my yabering here, going to shut up now xD

Then it would lose half of the role it was created for: CARGO STORAGE

Not to ruin your fun or anything, but reducing it's cargo won't make it useless at storing cargo.

Besides, it's not like people have many things to store anyway...

Even then nobody has a barge full of codes (The only thing worth storing >.>)

What, you do? Might I suggest selling them?

Make it into a real mobile base, can't dock on anything, no guns or anything that can be 'blown" off. It is supplied by other ships, cargo still 40k. Put like 10-15 docking slots on it so people can dock/launch from it.

Keep it's current moving stats, but downsize/change the model to like 2x LN Carrier size.

Just do this

When it dies it respawns in same system 100k above plane or whatever.

@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.
