So in the end, Barge / Corvo changes - useful or no?

[sindroms]

Legitimate question, in the end, what was gained with replacing the barge. As it stands, all we got was just yet another ship that nobody uses. The Corvo replacement was also, for more or less, just nerfing an otherwise fun little ship for reasons nobody asked for.

Especially since the idea was to - if it was to be changed at all - to make it into a Raba/Salvager copy, which would have been probably a more fun variant than an essentially nerfed cruiser.





The development team at the time were given many suggestions on how to solve the problem with barges being used as extra POB space or them being used as trade ships - which wasn't in itself a bad thing, mind. The barge could have been a logical next step above the 5ker transport and all it needed was to be given a 80ms cruise speed and around 100 000 armor, so that it could be used only in House space via lanes, but someone somewhere thought that the Bustard was clearly a better idea.
