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.
My final word as i saw more ingame and was really anoyed by 2 people who are doing this EVERY DAY.
Leave the barge as it is. Its nerved enough and now some have still actually fun flying it normally as it was intended.
For the ones who are abusing this as a Cash Cow, they agreed when getting the barge for a SRP request for getting this ship. Also abuse of this thing could result into the admins REMOVING the ship from your shipyard. So easy way to solve it. People who are abusing this ship in such a matter, get a sanction maybe first bastille the person in question as well as the "jumper" wich is also knowing of this and activaly willing to do powertrading with a barge wich is an RP tool rather then a powertrading tool!
Also these are the persons who mess it up for the others who want such a ship. and won't abuse it for powertrading
