Ta!
Space Dredger.oxp was a different ship to the Generation Ship. Both were refered to in the Elite Manual but not accually in the game.
The Dredger is a factory ship, moden and plays its part in the Ooniverse, big but lauched reacently. It hangs about scooping materials and then docks to sell its produce.
Generation ships were kilometers long. They were launched from Old Earth centuries before witch-drives were invented, travelling along for hundreds of years to reach their destination.
Their builders thought that this was the only way to reach distant stars. Of course, as we all know, history took another cause and those who stayed at Old Earth and developed witch drives, colinised the Galaxy. This second wave of human ships collonised the Galaxys through Hyper-Drives, traveling 7 light years with a witch drive in a second, whilst the Generation Ships chugged along in normal space taking 21 years to cover the same distance.
Sealed inside these Generation Ships, generations of humans have lived and died for 900 years. Their legends tell of a time when the holy "bridge" will open and they will arrive at the promised land! Now after centruies of travel at sub-light speeds, just a few are reaching their target stars!
(Draco's Gen ship is different to the Factory Ship)!

If I hadn't made so many so many mistakes when posting on Oosat, I might have dared to volunteer myself. As it is, I wouldn't even dare to delete spam there. But I don't mind reporting on Oosat spam, if someone takes the job as spamkiller and we get a place to report it.
