I have no idea who you are or where you came from, as you do me, but I
can safely assure you that that ship was indeed a Deep Space Dredger...
although on my Amiga the front also has blades which cause just a *tad*
of damage if you get anywhere near them... they have some sort of
gravity field which pulls you in and destroys your ship.  Does the same
to yor escape pod too, so the best advice is just to stay away, as they
are virtually unkillable.  112 Pandora Medusa Energy bombs barely
scratched it, and about 8 minutes of firing as continuously as possible
finally destroyed it... and i got a screen filled with cargo
cannisters, as a just reward.. pity i didnt have enough cargo space.
Anyway, i think there is a bug in the program that causes it to appear
randomly instead of in warzones like it is supposed to.  I have only
ever met two, and the first suprised me so much it obliterated me.

Fare Thee Well,
Sardukar.
