Sorry, but the answer is no. The Voinian Dreadnaught only appears in two missions that are part of the Voinian Dreadnaught mission string availible only with the UE. Sorry.
But I bet that there is probably some plug out there which does allow you to buy the Voinian Dreadnaught. Just don't ask me which one.

There is no "legal" way to buy the Voinian dreadnaught. The only way to get it without cheating or using a plug-in is to get the UE mission to go and scout out the dreadnaught (the one right after you get the cloak), and then when you're in the system with the dreadnaught, abort the mission, disable it, and try to capture it. Of course, it's got over 2000 crew, so you'll need a ship with tons of crew (preferably a UE Cruiser or even better, a Voinian Cruiser), and as many high-crew ships as escorts as you can get. If you don't capture it, then go back and get the mission again, and try it again, until you either succeed or give up in boredom.
Alternatively, you could use a plug-in that lets you get the dreadnaught after completing the Voinian missions. I made a small plug-in like that a while back (heck, it must have been at least two years...). I never bothered to upload it to the internet, though. I'm sure others out there have made similar plugs and uploaded them to the plug-in archives. If not, I can see if I've still got my old "Get the Dreadnaught" plug-in lying around somewhere (it definately wasn't the best work I've ever done... it was my first attempt at making a plug-in ever...)

Yes, if you go to the outfit center after capturing a dreadnaught; you'll loose all your weapons.

Also, you can't restock the Interceptor Bay or the Salvo Rocket Turret.

Personally, although I know the (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~dsghosh/evosite/shipyard2.html#vdreadnought")dreadnought(/url) is incredibly powerful, I don't want it at all, just because it's so slow...

Though I just started the plug. I remember reading in the documentation that you can purchase a Dreadnaught after some missions in ROTV or ROTV2.

Knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss.
My advice is not bothering with the Dreadnought.
Sure, it's a challenge, but I bet you after three or four battles you'll get bored
of it.
The only way it could be good would be if there was a fighter bay for Aradas/Zidaras
or Laziras...........
That's easily enough solved.
