So FDev how about putting those Dredgers in!

Yeah, that’s the one, I think these are the only things missing from the old elite stories as everything else has found it’s way into the game.

If anyone can ask during the AMA can they post the answer back here. I do think they were asked before though and declined to comment.

I still think they would be a great addition and will undoubtedly help with ‘mee immerrushun’ as it’s called these days.

The other answer is that they are in the game, just never been found. If I can manage tomorrow, I'll ask (although I'm bursting with Powerplayness questions).

@Arsen Cross @Rubbernuke here are the logs from the dredgers. This is some creepy sh*t. They really should add it back in.

I think the reason why they did not get in was the cannibalism aspect. I know from my Galnet days FD were cool with slavery, murder and war but no munchy munchy (the Kumo Crew had a product called Soylent White made from all those marked slaves I always tried to snake in).

In any case, I'll ask if no-one else does.

I'll be really interesting to know their response, if they give one. If you get an answer mate, please can you update the thread, as it'll be exciting to know. Thanks pal

That was really a thing? I seriously always thought that was just some personal meme you just randomly came up with. lol

Ages ago a PMF the White Templars UA bombed Harma, shutting it down. Now, this uncovered a nasty side effect that it messed up the Powerplay service too. The bug got fixed, but the power wondered "where did all those slaves go?" Lots of people were hungry so they......got inventive

This led to Soylent White, and eventually Kumo Burger after one Kumo player suggested 'eat the stupid' and the brand just 'clicked'.

I used to write a lot of Galnet stories when player submissions were a thing, and one 'in joke' I tried to get published was Soylent White and underground burger franchises.
