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

I understand your points Laura. People want it, but that in and of itself is not sufficient reason to bring it back. As you stated, it is more profitable to fly an ore route in a 5ker. You don't need additional storage because of the existence of POBs. It is a major pain to fly without jumpdrive capability. In my humble opinion, I don't see the value of bringing it back. The only reason someone would choose to fly such a thing would be as a hardcore powertrader, and a non-RPing one at that considering the time waste involved. I don't think we want to accommodate that type of player, even if it does provide a fat juicy target for pirates.

I have few small Preposals here.... :
1. Make barges not 40k, but atleast 20k
2. Leave it's speed as it is now, but make charging into cruise speed 2x less time.
3. Make it look otherwize (I donno make it look like ship, not junk like it was). And smaller so it could fit in tradelane.
4. Make it avalable for everyone and price like it was (502 mil) or even 1 billion so people wouls trade hard to get it. (Avalable for everyone is making it not SRP).

What will happend after that:
More Piracy. Barges will be primary targets for people as they are slow. They will fly thrue trade lanes yes, BUT if you distrupt trade lane barge won't be able to run.
Me personally will hunt every barge in Sirius if you do that.
Also Even if you pirate barge on 20% (as i always do), barge pilot won't be shouting that you robbed him as other 80% is not that much small sum....
Also 20k ship will allow mining companyes fill their bases with ore faster and mining will take a bit less time. Even 2 people (Miner and barge) can just sit in Mining field and sell ore, miner will just fill barge all time and barge pilot will sell it's cargo.

I think this will be a good usage for that ship.

seems legit to me.
