Like gorva allready said. but to be honest. if cannon keeps the barge as it is. And give it to the public. so its for sale or be able to create on a base itself. (playerbase wise) it solves the problem itself. as allready barges are beeing pirated as hell. And if more barges arise so will pirates. so it will fix itself. Also fly with a barge and try to dock while npc's pops. you are like a ping pong ball then. and are launched with like -380 speed backwards.
for the idea for turrets. thats useless as you cannot properly shoot with it. Because the vessel is TOO big. also turrets are alligned too far away and cant even properly shoot something.
About cloaks and jumpdrives:
jumpdrives i think must not be able to use on the barge. as it would only be abused more. And otherwise you would need a big capital ship in order for it to jump along. Also at least rp and defense for the barge.
cloaks. i would say why not? But not an advanced cloak mk2. you would need an advanced cloak mk 3 for it. As its such big ship and it costs more to maintain. (max 30 min to cloak with full barge of mox or something simular)
obviously there is no real sollution. but here people even respond on this topic while never flown themselves a barge. its really allready a pain in the ass. Even when jumped its just hard to dock. and mostly you need others to clean your cargo hold out and fill you.
So in the end i think cannon can better do nothing. make it more to the public as its flying is crappy as hell. (even doh i like it) and while peeps first buy it a lot they will stop playing with it very shortly. as its just creates more pirates. so economic will be good.
and for the idea of smaller sized barges. so a kind of train with like 20k cargo. it would be a nice idea. like stork and heron. easy to make just remove some containers in the middle and have another half barge like ship. half cargo double the speed and turning rate etc.
