The future of the barge?

[Mímir]

to be honest if you make it like this. abusing it will be:
jumping and trade. you would still have the same as now. as it cannot dock and how it now goes it docks at very slow rate. so in like JZ i think they will let their whales just unload it. as i think they did mostly allready. Because its much faster then try that thing to dock. So what is the difference then between now and your changes? and with the increased cargo its just 1 or 2 more trains to let it dock at the place for making credits. No offence but this is the plain truth.

To be honest have the idea peeps in here make responces while never flown a barge. Please if you never have flown one dont respond. as it proves in the reactions of several people in here

(btw moderators guess you can close this allready. think the best ideas are made allready.)

If Cannon had said "barge-owners, how do you want your barges?", I would respect that. But I don't buy the reasoning, that because you own one you should have less of a biased view.

If we in the JZ jumped a barge and had to unload it with whales, we would make a great target for pierats. A lot of people (including some Mako pilots for some odd reason) are out to get us, and we make a target that is very easy to identify and track. If a barge holds 40.000 units and we have 4 whales, we would have to go to the station and unload cargo 3 times each, providing ample time for pierats to log and kill either the whales or take a punch at the helpless Barge, especially if it is made so that it cannot dock anywhere (which I think it should, with a fix regarding drift on F1 plus dying).
