I'm probably one of those people who find the Bustard actually useful. Seeing as how i'm in the process of writing a load of what ive been doing with my ANC stuff and one of the ships happened to be a carrier that goes various places. The FL ID on a Carrier is just perfect for the job in this RP. Though i think it was kinda nice to see a Barge on that one rare occasion, flying at 40MS cruise. Got some interesting encounters to memory with Barges.
-I'm glad the bustard is a thing, though be even happier if they remodelled it to something more pretty - but that is for another thread.
As for the Corvo, if i'm honest the Zoners didn't need two cruiser class ships. And as far as Zoners go, the thing doesn't need to be good at fighting. Because y'know. Guns of neutrality and all that. But i've never really done anything with one PvP wise to comment on its ability in that respect. I don't think it was worth the effort to change it - But i don't see any harm in it either to be honest.

To be honest i dislike Zoner Q-Ship. I liked Corvo as Cruiser.
As far as i've seen Corvo made for hyperspace scanning, but it don't have enouth cargospace for full scan. Even with HS2 or HS3.
Bustard is Great carrier (If you look at it as on carrier), gread jump ship, but it's weapons.... Everyone can easy kill you and you can't do anything with it.
For now Corvo with 5 gunboat turrets is really bad. Also that ship can be beated by everyone. Even a single bomber can easy blow Corvo now.

They concentrated on me first , until they realized they wasting time , since with strong armor , cruiser shield and gunboat size and agility , they cant take me down me that easily . Then one of them get killed , and i decided to leave fight to snubs and i move away . I dint even spend 300 bites in entire fight .
Hard to hit snub with Corvo , tough .

Imho, if they gave Bustard heavy mounts, it would see a lot more use in Discovery, because it can now Pulse/Mortar vs Battleships. It has the powercore to do it, and it would be a nice improvement over the "restricted to Basics, Faction, Solaris, and Pulse" thing we have now.
Also, the Corvo could be improved by making all 5 mounts actually Heavy.
Wait, the whole point of those ships is for them to be overpriced and suck?
Forget I said anything.

Barge was abused and exploited. Many cases of cheated Barges supplying PoBs. Many cases of using Barges as an extra storage depot on PoB. Jump trading while multiboxing to rake in billions of credits daily.
The few cases of honest and genuine uses were pale in comparison to the abuse. Which forced the decision even though it was harsh. It could have been averted with removing ability to cruise, making it fulfill the role it was intended to be before Player Owned Bases were a thing.
