no, because it would make them overpowered. they would be pos killers while not having the downsides of a capital.

They are called battleships. Dreads really are not good at killing stuff smaller than cap ships. Battleships are part of a support fleet if a cap fleet does not have a support fleet they will get wrecked. Unless they got titans then you just kiss you life goodbye.

This idea is esentualy a larger version of the stealth bomber, so it uses Citadel Torpedos, is T2 and uses a Battlecruiser hull, ie. Drake, Huricane, Harbinger & Myrmidon.
Please discuss.

I <3 my Drakes. I wouldn't want to stick torps on it though ... not like this. Overkill or underkill, I can't quite decide which.

I sort of support this, Id rather see an anti capital ship class, sort of like the spinal mount ion cannon frigates from Homeworld. Basically a ship with one purpose and thats to pwn capital ships. Its cheaper than a battleship but it has to fly with close protection.

Only reason to field dreads is to take down POS'es and other capitals. Make either one of those reasons obsolete and what use will dreads have?

Cheaper, less powerful but more agile equals new form of blob to replace the older one. But this time risking less.

Mmm yes, because stealth bombers make battleships worthless right? You guys do realize that almost all the damage a dread does is because of the ship bonuses and siege mod right?

They'd be rather worthless because citadel torps are so slow a bs with an afterburner could probably outrun it, and they'd probably do around the same dps as a battleship (going by them only having ~3 missile slots), have no cargo room for the huge missiles, and be pretty expensive. Oh and have fun training torps V for this too.

I would rather see Destroyer class torpedo boats myself (not stealth tho).

This. Assault bombers that would fly in wolfpacks and inflict massive damage on capitals. Paper thin ships that could be easily taken down with a rifter , or small pos guns. They would need to have much less nano potential than interdictors , as speedtanking a dread with your small sig radius should be trivial (until drones reach you)
