The BARGE -how-to-fly-a-BARGE-

[ACER_SPACER]

I want a barge now...

[ryuka.shinigami]

Damn, who doesn't?
That's the COOLEST thing I've seen in my life,
mostly because it's almost as big as a frickin' planet.
That's got my genuine thumbs-up approval!

Awesome....

There's quite an error there...

The barge CAN use jumpholes... Dock on them when the front of the ship is over 200m away, not when it's IN it.

If I try what you did in that jumphole video in my Rheinland Battleship, sure, it won't dock either.
Here's a handy guide:

actually the first one will fail as well. We've been testing it for quite some time and it wouldn't jump. After looking into the files, however, I managed to jump the Barge (using that jump hole) on the test server. but it's nowhere near easy.

how does one manage to jump in the barge?

also,

@JinxBattleship shields may be a bit too much, but cruiser shields sound ok to me,
maybe even 2-3 hardcoded Flak turrets could be worth a thought, depending
on the ships turret-hardpoints and its size.

no. its not for PVP, if you want to PVP, get a battleship. however. it would be cool to make a special turret for the barge. like a class 6 turret. then people/factions with a barge could get special RP weapons to equip to the barge. (black hole cannon anyone?)

great videos. Im going to try out the barge in SP :).

[worldstrider]

Whats funny is the aft and forward guns don't even reach the opposite ends of the ship when fired. Love it.

You can fill up the barge and jump to any base you like and for the rest of your life you can try to dock at this base. :haha:

!!!Barge cannot dock at stations!!!

You may dock at a planet with the intention to sell the commodity and the barge for another ship, but this would be too much of an investment though.

Nevertheless, its interesting. I can feel the greed, when player looking at the 25000 holdsize.:rolleyes:

I soooo want to fly one. :crazy:

Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

I have recently met and discussed with Atalawohisdi the trader that flies the Caribe. Just so everyone knows, I engaged in Sigma 13. He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.

He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

- Best day ever.

My wife said she wants to play again to fly it. I just want to blow it up. Does it explode nicely?

It has a 25k cargo, turrets that don't reach the opposite end without running out of range, and is as big as a planet...

I'm SADDENED:(:(:( by the fact that it might be the only ship of its kind...

To let you get a small picture of what I'm trying to say, then imagine that there WERE OTHER barge-SIZED ships out there...

Imagine that whole Carriers were as big as them... The sheer SIZE would occupy your whole cockpit window, and still only show 1/4 of it...

Imagine that there were hundreds of fighters trying to guard these massive behemoths... all whizzing around in battle formations...

Now... Imagine... a major battle between just TWO of them, with smaller capital ships and many fighters dogfighting each other in a test of skill and survival...

O..... M..... G.....

Also, moving dockable bases? It is unheard of, let alone imply it! If that was possible, I wonder why that wasn't applied with the REST of the capital ships that are currently roaming Sirius by now, notably the BS's?

Say... maybe in a far-off mod, there might be the possibility that these Barge-sized carriers would house the FIRST EXPEDITIONARY FORCE to roam the far-reaches of the universe...

Space... The Final Frontier... (//yeah, sounds like Star Trek, I know) A possibility? .....maybe.....
