Since the first post was apparently not clear enough and I keep getting a whole lot of the same question on Skype, here's a more clear reword of what's been said in the first post, in shiny colors too:

Removal of the Barge in its current form is definite. After the next update the Barge as we know it will not exist anymore, so if you want to buy/sell a Barge, do so with that in mind. What's still undecided is what the ship will be replaced with and that's the reason this thread is posted: To brainstorm the possible replacements for the Barge.

So far the most frequent suggestion's been turning it into a "mothership" of sorts, and the team's currently discussing an idea more or less along that line, however, this is still being discussed and we're still open to suggestions. A notice will be posted once the decision is final.

Just my quick 2 cent's...

I don't think they hurt anything (and no I don't have one, never flown one) I think its always a bad idea to remove things from the game. Of course most people who don't have one will want them removed, but that's human nature. (If I can't have one, nobody can)

Barges are a unique ship in the game, would be a shame to see them go.

Edit: but if they are just gonna be nerfed to uselessness then just delete them.

for sure! if no barge it's no barge for each group or persons. i agree

Regardless if some factions actually do have a significant use and RP for them.
In their current form they offer something different and allow us to coordinate group activities.
Up till recently they were a driving force in our overall activity.
Once it got so much hate we curbed our use of them and our factions activity has steadily dropped as a result.
So while the Congress is still the most active faction that number has declined slowly.
Most likely due to less jump events and our reduction in using the barge.

I sure hope you all know what your doing and this isn't the 'final nail' we have heard mentioned before.
Time will tell.

Obvious you have no idea of the large amount of events we do.
Lots of folks have plenty of quality RP time.
Lastly this isn't the place to discuss our actiivity and whether its viewed by folks like you as "quality" RP.
I could post links, get members to post and argue about our 'quality' RP all day.
But as I said... not the thread for that.
Perhaps you might want to stay on topic instead of just hating what you dont understand.

we know your hight power, but we can't let you alone as barge owner, we all of us don't need to be under your decision*he smile*

probably have you a certain idea in head like a congress pob?

but you know certainly, how it's annoying for other players who think to be workers(slaves)

Nah, I am not hating anyone, really.

Just proposing to not be disappointed in lowered activity and make that activty count for even more quality-wise.

I chose the words poorly.

it's probably the first reason, on why not to join a faction(or if you have enought time, create one) to have, like me 2000hours ingame or is it a joke!

we can nothing against the old factions, maybe perhaps against the corsairs(who have some barges too)

[NoMe]

the question is!

do you know a faction who created a POB(core4) without barge?

i mean some POB in hight dangerous sector!

i don't say that it is not possible!
