It still generates absurds amount of credits, except this time its not 300% more and you don't have the convenience of using trade lanes that are one third the size of your ship. I've seen plenty of people use it this patch, the only reason people complain is because their ship doesn't generate absurd sums of credits/hour anymore.
I can't agree with the maths 3x 5ker. I specifically ran supply return trips using both tradelanes and open spaces to test the productivity between 5kers and the barge. The results were the 5k would deliver nearly 4 return loads to the barge's 1 return trip. The extra volume of trade the barge gives is compensation for the massive price. Ultimately I loved the challenge of the barge but it is now screwed by an ideological bent for what reason we are not being told.
Again, to the Devs, please tell us your intent with regard the barge?
