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

[Garrett Jax]

Once POB's were introduced , the only legit RP reason (imho) for the Barge ceased to exist. The Barge was never intended to be used as a trade ship, and the Admin's/Devs tried to discourage the use of it as such. When jump drives were introduced, we entered the Golden Age of powertraders, where billions of credits could be 'earned' in a single day. Although that era is gone (thank God), I see no good reason to justify returning the Barge to the ship it once was, nor creating a similar type of ship with a cargo hold greater than our 5kers.

Unless...

Unless you wish to remove POB's from the mod. Then I could see reimplementing the Barge, but only if you remove its capacity to fly. The choice would be, either a POB you have to constantly maintain, or a 40k storage facility that required no maintenance at all and could be F1'd in space, assuming no hostiles were nearby.
