Before the nerf the 2 man barge/jumper operation was 4-5 times more profitable then anything else on this server especially the gallic/omicron route.
2 experienced people using script for coords with 2 4k ships for fuel on both locations were able to make 700-800m per hour that leaves each of them with 350-400m for 1 hour if they jump loop twice, if you are really good and lucky with npcs 3 jump loops were also possible but the normal time was around 22-26 min per loop- around 13-16 min per jump with full unloading/loading fuel unloading by the jumper/fueler when the barge gets into pos,charging and jumping and this is when you play casual for fun without pushing the time.
Using other not so good routes the profits were around 200-300m per hour per person.
Even with the Nerf if the users use mk3 survey to jump 30k to the spot the barge trading is still more profitable then casual trading for 2 people it is may be on mining level.
I really like to see people that never tried things to give opinion.
I am personally for removing the existing barges till 4.87 and reverting back the old jump situation, then in 4.87 with new barge and new proper balanced system everything would be fine.
