Anytime the barge gets stuck trying to dock you have to relog to get the thing moving again. The barge has plenty of issues including being disrupted by any ai with any cruise disruptor. AI tend to make the barge bounce around like crazy as well. This is so much of a problem it causes some pilots to just give up. In this case the barge captain did complain he was having connection issues too. We know that he had to reconnect several times as well.
I spoke with Cannon and he thinks it might be related to the type of cargo. Like too much value in the hold can trip something which causes a disconnect.
I know I had issues with my admin barge full of sanction loot. It crashed for no real reason mid flight with a brace ton of credit cards in the hold.
I've heard people report issues when they find barges full of ore.
[color=#FFCCFF]It could be possible that a reduction in carried cargo by means of a transfer to another party or dropping into space or not picking it up in the first place could prevent the issue from occuring then if I get your theory right, [color=#FF99FF]Mister Lens.
