State of the Game

Praise Brebus!

Where are the songs and praises of your Lord these days? Just shouts in the streets from those believers he's abandoned.

The Void doesn't abandon those who have opened their minds to it's infinite nothingness. The Void doesn't give false hope or lies. The Void gives clarity in a confusing universe of warring perceptions....for there is only one way to perceive The Void. Only one answer it has to show you...and in that one answer, are the infinite answers to infinite questions - yours to see when you are ready to see them.
 
because that's not what dredgers do canonically. They're not mining refineries + manufacturing. They break down already manufactured materials and recycle. Recycling and refining from raw materials aren't the same processes.
True.

taking an alloy (of which the dredger itself would heavily use) and recycling it is incredibly different from creating the alloy in the first place. Same for any compound. Even if you wanted to, manufacturing all of the various high tech alloys and such needed for a space ship would be beyond the scope of what could be found in a dredger.
If I can install a refinery on my Type-7, why won't that scale to a dredger?

Dregers, at least the one I've seen up close and personal anyway, are huge. Why couldn't they have a manufacturing facility or three?

I've seen manufacturing facilities in Ody settlements that would EASILY fit in a dreger, multiple times over...

And if there are thousands of people on one, what do they do all day? Do they sit in their compartments all day and read the forums or play "Thermonuclear War" or perhaps "a nice game of Chess" or maybe even "Oregon Trail"?

Especially the in-game variety (the book kind were much bigger)
Which book?

That's the part about not thinking too hard about it. It's less a matter of imagining and more about not considering it at all.. Because imagination would conflict with implementation and lore and the only way to reconcile that is retconning or ignoring it.
It seems to me you're "thinking too hard about it".

Have you considered that the Elite Dangerous "Universe" might not be the one for you?

sucks that fdev doesn't do community galnet stories. Would be fun to have an anonymous explorer spread the word of the Void thru the frontier systems at the edge of the bubble....chased by the Cult of Brabus.

Your refinery makes pure versions of a given ore. It doesn't make Steel. It doesn't make whatever composite hulls are made out of. That's a process that requires a much larger and controlled set of systems to produce. And it would likely not be machinery that can be used to say create plastics, glasses, or other polymers ..much less even other alloys.

Most of the bulk of the dredger is involved in breaking down, storing recycled material such as those processed alloys and polymers and such and being able to manufacture them back into usable products.

The equipment and such needed to skip the recycling would negate the entire purpose of why the dredgers were made. Because it would have to have a means for creating most if not all of the necessary things from raw materials.. . not just a handful of specific things like how most refinery stations and settlements work.

And if there are thousands of people on one, what do they do all day? Do they sit in their compartments all day and read the forums or play "Thermonuclear War" or perhaps "Chess" or maybe even "Oregon Trail"?

I'd imagine the crew of a dredger do nothing all day every day but replace broken parts with new parts considering the size and age of them.

Which book?

elite dangerous: tales from the frontier

nope. Have you considered that the elite dangerous "universe" needs those like me to witness it's crumbling ...to stand on the sidelines unable to stop conflicting lore so that the future may avoid repeating such a fate again?

This is why...
 
This is why...
That's the church of the Eternal Void. Completely different from The Void. of which there is no church, no laws, no rules, and no beliefs.
 
Also, The Void predates that stupid thargoid/guardian cult. Embrace of The Void has it's roots all the way back to the first documented cases of Space Madness - when the first explorers began tasting the infinite emptiness of the cosmos.

No feces surely!

Which is why I brought up manufacturing facilities which you appear to have conveniently, for you, not quoted in your reply.

How do you know this?

Says who?

Fair point.

elite dangerous: tales from the frontier
Where can I find this?

nope. Have you considered that the elite dangerous "universe" needs those like me to witness it's crumbling ...to stand on the sidelines unable to stop conflicting lore so that the future may avoid repeating such a fate again?
No I have not but then again...at the risk of being permabanned from the forum, nay, the game...

ITS JUST A GAME!

Think of it, the game, similar to "Nicole" from 'Pink Panther 2"...
