== Dreadnoughts are Underpowered in Sword of The Stars ==
That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Destroyer" bullshit that's going on in Sword of The Stars right now. Dreadnoughts deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine Dreadnought in Arcadia for 2,400,000 Credits (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 turns now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my Dreadnought.

Hiver smiths spend years working on a single Dreadnought and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest ships known in the galaxy.

Dreadnoughts are thrice as powerful as Destroyers and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a Destroyer can cut through, a Dreadnought can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a Dreadnought could easily bisect a Zuul Homeworld with a simple vertical beam.

Ever wonder why Humans never bothered conquering Hivers? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Warrior Caste and their Dreadnoughts of destruction. Even in the tutorial, Human soldiers targeted the fleets with the Dreadnoughts first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Dreadnoughts are simply the best ship that the galaxy has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in Sword of The Stars. Here is the stat block I propose for Dreadnoughts:

1300000 Savings cost
20000 Construction cost
132700 Armor
235000 Mass
50.0 Range
3.0 Speed
180.0 Tactical speed
40.0 Turning speed

Now that seems a lot more representative of the firepower of Dreadnoughts in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Dreadnoughts need to do more damage in Sword of The Stars, see my new stat block.
