Overview

Space Dredgers operate mainly in deep space, scooping up wreckage, hydrogen and space dust for later processing. Space Dredgers are occasionally encountered in the border of the space lanes. Commanders choosing to dock with a Dredger can take advantage of its well equipped shipyard or the chance to trade. Attacking a Dredger is unwise, as it is well defended by a squadron of Sabre fighters. The Dredger is not available to the player, although second hand Sabre fighters are occasionally available on the open market.

How to dock

Docking problems are similar to the ones encountered with the Behemoth: you are trying to dock with a non-stationary object. Don't forget that the Dredger will occasionally execute a 180 degrees somersault to avoid collisions, during which docking seems quite impossible. For docking force it to a halt with the docking computer. After this you can cancel the automatic docking and do it manually.

The Deep Space Dredger is found in the Deep Space Dredger 1.2 OXP (for Oolite 1.65+)

version requirement

Deep Space Dredger 1.2 needs minimum Oolite 1.65. For additions in deep space it needs Oolite 1.71+

A new version 2.0 is in the make that will have three additional dredger models and some extra functions. That will be an Oolite 1.71+ only version.
