Dreadnought
Dreadnought is about one thing: team-based, capital ship combat. It’s a free-to-play shooter that puts you at the center of battles in space and above the surfaces of colonies across the solar system. But it’s not just you and your guns against the world. You have your teammates—outlaw captains like yourself—and a range of ballistic weaponry, Goliath nuclear torpedoes, and long-range Tesla cannons to fill out your earth-shaking arsenal. Combat in Dreadnought takes place at a deliberate pace, giving you just enough time to react to an ever-changing battlefield. During each match, you’ll be able to respawn as a different vessel and switch up your strategy—all while the opposing team does the same. Winning isn’t just about cannons, missiles, and torpedoes. Each vessel is equipped with an energy management system that gives your crew the ability to activate shields, boost engine power, and amplify weapon damage. Using this energy wisely is key to coming out on top.

The best and, unfortunately, the only game of its kind that I know of. I wrote to the developer and publisher to find out if there was any possibility of a sequel, or if the rights could be sold to the community. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a reply. Maybe if more people asked, it would get things moving again. The chances are slim, but better than nothing. I'm sure Dreadnought has a lot of potential.

I sit here, looking at the last update post and wishing I'd played more.
This game was awesome. I loved it, its design, its ships, its guns. I've not seen any game like it since. I feel its such a shame it had to be shut down. Wish I could've played it more, I should've.
So long, but I hope this game remains in memories to one day, hopefully, be reincarnated with new life. And to once again bring guns, glory and space and air faring dreadnoughts back to the internet just like this.
Let's hope.

I played this game when it was in Alpha. Before that I played it when I went to my very first PAX South. I entered the Beta once it left Alpha, and I played it when the game went live. Sure I only have nine hours recorded on Steam, but I played so many more hours than that. This game...this game was everything I wanted out of Space ship to ship combat. The day they announced this game was closing, it broke my heart. The day it closed down I shed a few tears. I miss it to this day, and I wish it could be revived.

It was a great game that I always enjoyed a lot. a game that I still miss it to this day. It was truly one of its own kind when it comes to a space combat game.
