Spazzy, check your math. The barge's trip is 2 hours and 40 mins.

I'll turn this into a more constructive post after that is fixed.

(( fine

But I agree with you completely.

Like, 100% completely.

Thanks for pointing this out, the community needs more empathy.

EDIT: Hone, its a friggin barge. Escorts wont do anything. Even a solie zephyr accompanied by a Solaris [LN] dread cant stop 1 bomber, and you will have to trust me on this.

Love the name of your barge Spazzy.

I bet when you try to manouver it through astroid fields 'it bounced right off'?

I suppose that is what you get for thinking bigger is better. If you don't want to give away all your money to pirates, don't trade in a barge. Simple as that.

wait what? your making a 28 mill profit over 5kers, you only make the same amount of profit if you pay your escort 28 mill. I've NEVER been paid 28 mill for an escort job, if you pay this much, please hire me!

The numbers say yes, but only when you don't get pirated 9000 times. Unfortunately when you do come across a pirate when in a barge, they ask for a lot more and you have no chance to avoid them once they enter scanner range. At least in a 5 k you still stand some chance to get away.

Have you considered, perhaps, avoiding asteroid fields? Given how much they suck for the barge.

The route I use in the barge makes significantly more than the corresponding 5ker-trip would.

I saw a barge getting solo'd by a OC scimitar, while the scimitar was under fire from a few navy guardians, yeah, he just spinned around the fat Barge to regain shield and continued. Fun, fun, fun!
