    • Controlling the Dreadnought


      I was wondering how anyone could become the owner of the Voinian Dreadnought without cheating. It seems like a fun ship to have, but it's only available during a mission, and the crew almost doubles the amount in my ship. As far as I know, the Voinians wont allow any humans to purchase the ship, unless the string goes on farther than the defeat of Verril Prime. People say that it is their favourite ship, And I'd like to know how you got it, so I could have a little fun in a one of a kind ship.

    • Someone said they captured it.

      On the scout out the Dreadnought mission, try disabling it straight off. You might
      be able to board it............ although your odds of capturing it a infinitesimal
      (small).

    • Do the first Voinian Mission, were you have to observe it. Once you see the Dreadnaught, abort the mission. Then disable in, board it , and try to take it over.

      If you're lucky and you keep trying, You'll get it eventually. And with it, you will be able to capture the Dreadnaught many times over as an escort.

      I think Soviet Mikee once had a Dreadnaught and a fleet of 6 Dreadnaught Escorts.

    • Great! I didn't quite know how to do it myself, but now I'm going to work on it.

      Not as my own ship, of course. The Dreadnought is a little too slow for my taste.

    • Yeah, that's the only way. And the odds of capturing it aren't good.

      If you get escorts, it will really help.

      Try capturing a Voinian Destroyer or two as escorts. Voinian ships have abnormaly high crews, and having a Voinian Escort will greatly increase your chances of capturing any ship.

    • And, of course, to get a Voinian escort............

      I'd upgrade to a Freight Courier and start capturing Cargo Transporters, and then
      Turncoats. Then try capturing some UE ships (just disable them, they won't hate
      you if they already like you enough) and once you have 6 or so UE Destroyers, get
      some bigger UE ship (get the escorts to help until it is disabled then tell them
      to stop). 6 UE Carrier escorts quickly leads on to Voinian escorts, and finally
      Dreadnoughts are yours.

    • If you want an even better advantage.... go through the Voinian string first. (just the string in the actual EVO game, not the ROTV plugs). There's good money to be had, and you can even buy a Voinian Cruiser. Go to a renegade planet, buy a fake ID, and start the UE string then. You might want to get some miranu upgrades on the Voinian Cruiser, or you'll be crying when you start jumping around space 😄

      I should actually try this.... it sounds kinda fun. Work my way up, then try to capture the Dreadnaught. oooo... this'll be exciting.

      And then I'll go work for the Aggies. Huzzah for more speed.
