Thank you; Zorg,
Thank you,

Now hopefully it won't be till "Hell freezes Over" before we finally get an "Elite Recycler"
same cost as an Elite Cargo
but travels at same speed of the smaller recyclers;
just a larger cargo bay

there is no reason to have to have a fleet of 20-30,000 plus recyclers

once again;
Thank you

The Elite Recycler idea has been rejected for all universes except Massacre. The reason is that an extra ship type would change considerably the current balance of the battle engine used in the universes of Standard/Speed/X-Treme.

The leading alternative idea is a technology that increases Recycler capacity but more should be discussed in a separate topic.

How about the idea of sending a cargo (Small,large, elite) with the recyclers? The idea being the cargo ships wait outside the perimeter of the DF and the recyclers ferry it back to them.

Perhaps limit it to 1/4th the storage capacity of the fleet you send?
