Quote:1) Do nothing.
2) Reduce its cargo capacity.
3) Reduce its cargo capacity and massively increase its armour.
4) Remove its cruise engine (jumping and very slow normal engines only)
5) Prohibit barges docking at structures that are too small (i.e. allow docking only at mooring points)
6) Prohibit barges docking at anything. This means that two people are needed to use a barge; a player driving a freighter or transport to load/unload the barge and the barge player.
7) Increasing its cargo capacity and reducing its armour.
1) Works. The Barge is not broken. Jumptrading is (I didn't jumptrade since the last update, though).
2) No, it is already not a lot, especially when you take the massive amount of pain into account that moving it causes.
3) No, the Barge would even be vulnerable with 4 times the armor. Bumping makes it useless, not lack of armor.
4) No. Ships drift! I had a Barge 190 k away. Without cruise this means half a day of flying.
5) Good, do it.
6) Positive: makes teamplay necessary
7) Fine with me, it dies anyway when attacked.
My opinion:
7, 6 + give it a cruise speed of 150 back.
