Disclaimer: I couldn't careless if the Barge does or doesn't get a boosted cruise speed (I already accepted it wouldn't).
I am not sure the couple of people who used the Barges to 'Power Trade' would really break a 'non-existent Economy'.
As for breaking the 'Economy' has anyone actually looked at the figures, for say the last 3 Trade Events' and actually worked out how many credits were pumped in to this so called 'Economy'?
The people who complain about these so called 'Power Traders' are the same ones that suddenly climb out of the woodwork, and trade non-stop, making millions (billions in the old currency) and once the Event is over, go back in to the woodwork and start complaining about those 'damn' Power Traders and how boring trading is. Then they wait for the next credit printing press Event to appear again.
Spot on, I just trade during events
The freighter one wasn't even good money - it's just usually the straightforward routes and urgency + reward potential that do it for me
