Barges

[Lucas]

Weirdly enough, it was also proven before that the Barge has been able to hilariously out-profit 5k's before. The risk is pretty much the same, since barely anyone bothers to pirate anyway.

This is something that only very select few Barge owners tend to disagree on, and funnily enough, it is exactly those people that wish to get a refund now. There's been routes in the game that could make you well above 250 million an hour on a Barge without much effort, such as Alien Organisms, and I've seen people (ab)use them on a Barge. I don't believe a refund should be given, at least in full, simply because the ship was never meant to be better than a normal transport, it just happened to be so and now got balanced accordingly. If it is too bad, it will be looked at and revisisted by the balance and economy teams, but people seemingly have the weird expectation that their 15 billion credit ship should also make 15 billion credits back in the same time that you pay off a transport that you have purchased. It's just not going to happen.
