I agree, and I’d love to see what these bad boys could do with a proper refit. Smaller crew-requirements and better computer systems, modern weapons systems with a balanced loadout, improved shields, engines, and armor. Hell, add in a small hangar bay to fit a squadron or two of reliable snub-fighters. Even without the hangar bay, partner this ship with a squadron each of hyperspace-capable snubfighters, interceptors, and bombers. I’m thinking something along the lines of X-Wings, A-Wings, and Y-Wings.

Actually, the Dreadnought was created for the West End Games Star Wars RPG. To be more precise, it was made for the Imperial sourcebook together with several other ship designs. When Timothy Zahn wrote his Star Wars book trilogy, he had first planned to create a ship of his own. Then he discovered the sourcebook and realised West End Games had already made a ship he could use. The rest is, as they say, history.

Surprised no mention of the Ruusan Reformations with it! 600 meters long was the maximum size allowed for any capital ship to be made. And the reason they lasted for so long wasn't necessarily as they were a great ship, but because there were so many of them as they had been made for well over a century. So they were reasonably simple to get and you'd lose a large number of potential capital ships if you didn't utilize them.

I was always perplexed by the gun placement on the Dreadnaught. It looks to have no real thought to firing arcs or even line of sight. The gun emplacements are also weirdly organic-looking on an otherwise pretty austerely-designed ship.

My most favorite heavy cruiser of the saga, this truly is one of the best ships of the saga. I have made a special squad of Dreadnought heavy cruisers for my fleet called "Aiwha Squadron," and it is comprised of 5 of these cruisers that have upgraded systems and arsenal to better combat CIS capital ships (mainly to cover up the lack of capital ships at the beginning of the war) and while 1 of these ships can beat down even a Munificent frigate on it's own, the whole squadron can take down even a Providence carrier/destroyer or an ISD (as my fleet would join the Rebels later on)

Did I see an Avorion build screen in the intro lol Great game more ppl should play it

We took it over repaired it enough to get a pirate hideout/shipyard in outer rim. Got it fixed up by calling in some favors,sold some of the weapons on it to get better ones. I.e. more ion cannons and some capital ship grade proton torpedo/concussion missile launcher on the stern and bow. But I turn her small hanger bays into fighter launch bays. Each could hold 8 clutches and 4 shuttles/gunboats. By the time I was done she was a good pirate ship. Plenty of ion canons,enough turbo lasers,and half a dozen coreillan quad laser cannons,plus the muntion launchers. And later I was able to get a bunch of pilot druids to help run the ship.

She had more useful fighter bays for things that weren't Tie Fighters. Lancers and the such were also out classed. 3 dreads could still take on a single ISD as well in BBY. Its why in legends it was popular with the Rebellion as well as many defense forces. Taking all that in, she's cheaper to build than an ISD or Home One, You can more easily build many more of them than either of the other 2. As I said before, old tech isn't always outdated by functioning standards, its sometimes outdated by weight and size which makes it difficult to fully outfit a ship with other modern equipment. She is superior to a lot of other ships in that way as only ISDs or ships of that scale or capability are her only real threats. Making her far more useful in specific circumstances that would destroy other ships in her size class. Even then, improvements can be made. It's kinda like a B52, A10, AC130, F15, F16, F18 and C130. No matter how you rearm them, they still remain tactically functional despite all the other new aircraft around them. Iowa class battleships were in service way longer than intended because much like the F15, when you have a winner, it's hard to replace them(and they are fully retired now with no coming back this time due to missile warfare which reshaped naval doctrine but Dreadnaughts still use Turbo lasers and the such just like her contemporaries). In the Star Wars universe, there are few that can go toe to toe against dreadnaught and come out on top with very little lost.

I would love to see a lore video on haunted Star Wars ships. Who’s with me?

If I was a commander or criminal leader, I would chose this as my ship of choice. I’d include the ion and missile modifications and modify the hyperdrive to be at least Class 3. That would be the perfect warship. Plus, I would upgrade the power output as well.

Take a look at the crew sizes of ships in and before WWII. The Iowa class battleships had a crew of around 2800 and are about half the length of this craft. Star wars ships are generally a lot wider and taller than IRL ships so if we estimate 6 to 8 battleships fit in this 16000 crew members is pretty reasonable. Its about 3 fully loaded Nimitz aircraft carriers if we include the air crews.

Lol the space gangstas were also able to get their hands on the Heavy-cruiser

It's crew requirements actually aren't that bad by IRL standards. If we compare it to a Nimitz-class Aircraft carrier - with a standard crew complement of over 5,000 - we see that the Dreadnought-class is 8 - 10 times the overall size/volume of a Nimitz, but only requires 3x the crew to operate. For reference, if a Nimitz-class had the same proportional crew requirement, it would only need 1600-2000 crew instead of the 5000+ it actually needs, making it some 60-70% more crew efficient. Because of this, I think the supposed difficulties of keeping such ships supplied and manned have been badly overstated. Considering that the average, reasonably well-developed planet in the Star Wars Galaxy has access to vastly more wealth and population than the U.S. Navy does, and the U.S. Navy has little trouble keeping its fleet of Nimitz-class Carriers supplied and crewed, I think only the most backwater worlds would actually have trouble maintaining a small force of Dreadnoughts. For bigger, wealthier worlds like Alderaan, Axum, Coruscant or Eriadu? They could crew and support whole armadas of Dreadnoughts easily.

Then we added Saturn 5 rocket engines to it. Then look at other support craft that surround a carrier till you have a triangle shape and mass area shape arrowhead. So now we have a base build time, cost in US$ along with volume of area and hull/ structure braces in tonnage. Since WEG and WotC 3e to 4e Saga Edition, orbit travel time from a planet to its nearest moon list for a stander light cargo transporter is 30minutes. Otherwise 2ls/hr. two light seconds per hour. It took Nasa rocket two days to reach the moon. So now we have travel speed vs ship structural integrity. Math starts to get really deep here. 48hours down to one hour. .. so .. 12km/s times ? what ? Kinetic energy of impacting space dust creates how much friction thermal heat? Navigation deflectors energy output to push a side incoming dust in the craft flight path ? 2.) WotC 3e D&D/ Star Wars. 2000 3e D&D hard material hardness or DR damage reduce measured in inches. 3e Star Wars material hardness or DR damage reduction is measured in .. cm. My first gaming shop at 20 during 1997, was near a campus town, lots of nerds that love word math problems. The book states the dmg a light/heavy steel door can take then roll 3d8 to dmg a given surface with a storm trooper blaster. One blast could just remove the lock or just punch multiple holes through said door base on story telling dramatic effect. As for crews, living population education and any androids will determine the makeup of a given fleet. I can easily see a colony mining ship traveling with earth solar system outer Ork field and growing into a mile long imperial destroy over a few decades just to past the time. Ship builds construction mining droids, and the droids bring raw resources back to the ship to turn into more hull plating, structural support beams, and create more droids .

The Katana variant tried to solve this, but it had it's own problems, and even then, it was still a LOT of crew after that modification.

Im surprised Palpatine didn't want more of these cruisers for the Imperial Fleet. A 16,000 man crew, surely he'd love to tie so much of the population to his Empire once the technological issues were worked out. Heck, with the adaptability, you cpuld use the Dreadnought as the template for a modular cruiser design that will leave enemies guessing on what type of Dreadnought they're about to face off against. You could have one version lined with turbo lasers for maximum damage and planetary bombardments, another built solely for carrying large numbers of TIE fighters and its variants, one dedicated to ground assault that carries enough walkers to conquer a planet should the people resist, and even one that fulfills all of these rolls to a limited capacity.
