- THE BARGE -
FT. MY THOUGHTS ON THE VESSEL
So, you're looking at this page thinking, I got the fifteen billion credits, should I spend all of it on getting the Barge? After reading this guide, I hope you have your answer. After getting one myself a while ago, decided to compile my experience and thoughts on this gigantic ship. In comparison to other players, my experience and use is fairly short. I'd like to say that my experience would still be helpful in helping someone decide to purchase it or not. So with that out of the way, let's get underway. First part, I'll list the pros and cons. Might be the easiest and most straightforward way to get my thoughts out, I'll elaborate further on. Pros first.
Cons now.
At this point in time, that's all I got. If it helps you, yay. If not, well at least I got this out there. Godspeed out there. RE: Tutorial: How to fly the Barge - Paddy. - 12-01-2021 You will need to have PATIENCE! I find it very worthwhile at base maintenance time. Taking essential supplies is quicker overall and I do find it frees up time for other things. Be aware, they have put the 'head" (toilet) at the back of the barge, and it's a 1km + jog to get there, do your stuff and jog back to the cockpit... or you could put a bucket under the pilot's seat for the emergency dump. And don't forget to vent a little at the NPC's when they flip you head-over-heels. It is very therapeutic. But not pleasant especially as you just did a dump in the bucket... under the seat... yucky mess. RE: Tutorial: How to fly the Barge - St.Denis - 12-01-2021 I will just add my 2 pence worth here, since this has been done. Flying normal commodities is quite good as well, so don't feel that you need to only fly Ores. Now, different people will find one way of flying suits them more than another way. So I will give you another option which I have found suits me quite well. In Game options I have disabled cockpit mode and then fly the Barge in cockpit mode (Ctrl V). When I dock with a TL, I wait until the TL Rings just disappear from view before hitting the dock button. Docking at JGs - 500m. Docking at POBs - 300-350m. Docking at Planet Mooring Point - 500m.

Once your char name is known by pirates, you'll most likely become hunted down and best case you'll be down 50-100 million. Be mindful as it will inevitably happen. Fake news. There are no pirates in Sirius. RE: Tutorial: How to fly the Barge - Paddy. - 12-16-2021 A couple of good hints. 1. Sometimes if I launch from Planet London I will dock at Waterloo and then launch again. This will quickly have turned your Barge in the opposite direction to dock on the NL - Dublin or NL to Belvedere trade lanes. 2. Also redocking on bases and launching again will often point you in a better direction very quickly. 3. As I approach a JG or tradelane I will switch to All view and keep an eye out for an incoming ship. Most times I will stop, let them dock and then resume. Helpful to avoid the regular game of "Cow tipping". RE: Tutorial: How to fly the Barge - Paddy. - 12-22-2021 Another hint. You can dock at the JG at right angles to the opening. So instead of turning to go straight in, if you are coming from the side, simply snuggle up to the JG and dock.
