About Dreadnought

✦ AI summary

Pilot massive capital ships in intense 8v8 team battles across the solar system, commanding over 70 vessels with customizable weapons and strategic energy management systems. Master deliberate, tactical combat where teamwork and loadout adaptation trump pay-to-win mechanics in this free-to-play space shooter.


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.

Every battle gives you Credits and XP, which you can spend to unlock a range of ships, weapons, and modules.

Fly ships from 3 manufacturers – The tough and rugged Jupiter Arms, the solid and bulky Akula Vektor, and the sleek and ethereal Oberon.

As we all know this game is Dead. The Servers are -Offline- but i just stumbled upon this Community Project, that atleast allows you to play it in a limited fassion: https://github.com/SyST3MDeV/Dreadnought What is this? This is a c++ project that allows users to play the game Dreadnought without a connection to the (now deactivated) official servers. You must already own the game on Steam to use this patch. This is heavily WIP. Currently Supported: -Tutorial -Multiplayer TDM, everyone will use the same loadout Known Issues -If you respawn while the death recap is still onscreen, it will get stuck onscreen

Used to play a lot of this game on its separate client, was a blast then. Too bad it's dead now. It had so much potential, incompetent devs ruined it. It was so good... they could have just followed thru with the ships designs and make more PVE contents. Oh well, here is farewell to one of my beloved games.
