the Barge

[Jinx]

the original barge was meant to be a storage depot



we did all we could ( in reasonable terms ) to make it as little mobile as possible while maintaining a minimum mobility ( ability to fly system to system but make it a real pain )



the original barge was meant to be tough. due to being mostly unique or at least extremely special, it was meant to be rock hard - a winning price for a pirate ( not a single bomber ) but a huge "fleet" of organized pirates to take down, as the barge was meant to be THE focus point of large mining operations.



- armour currently is the highest of all mobs ( mobile objects )

- it is meant to at least support defenders hence my suggestion of GB missiles



think of the barge not only as a floating storage. it is a ship that is "as expensive as a battleship" - and cooperations must not loose such an investment - so they WILL slap armour on it.

there might also be plans to include processing of raw materials - which could give a barge a factory / refinary feature. making it even more valuable for large cooperations.
