So FDev how about putting those Dredgers in!

[Chazzie]

I was thinking the other day, while finishing up in a CZ, about all the debris that would be floating around after a large battle - then all of the systems were a large battle has taken place. That would be a perfect place to see these Dredgers in action, you could even have it as ship you could interact with - like the Megaships (but are not bugged!).

We know the assets exist - you can Google it to see them - so go on Frontier, chuck em back in!

I heard the price of Mechanical Scrap was going up by 1000%...

:tinfoil: Maybe the dredgers are in witchspace destroying the old galcop Faraway network?

 

[Lightspeed]

Those mats are useful, you should be scooping them up for yourself !

Like this one they put into a beta and took out again?

I heard they were busy mopping up the old Thargoid signal sources. Months of work there after the last CG.

They should put that back in. Looks like a right barrel of laughs.

It had scannable lore and everything. But it vanished.

Is that scannable lore documented anywhere you know of?

Any idea why? I've never seen any explanation. Was something wrong with them?

It might be on 2.4 era livestreams- it was great. It was about a pilot who got trapped on board and the "people" who kept the dredger going.

I'm not sure. I was going to AMA it tomorrow.

Good idea

Probably too many complaints from people flying into the mouth of the thing and getting eaten.

FDev will probably be frightened now of the Salt from FC owners asking why their FC can't move like that.
I'm gonna ask on the upcoming AMA. Something like that would be awesome.

Whiners are gonna be the death of this game.

I'm sure it was fine. They invited him to dinner and he stopped recording complaints in his log shortly thereafter.

@Rubbernuke

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.
