What does observe the research base mean when I start the dreadnaught missions? Help would be appreciated.

All you have to do is jump into the Isled system, buzz the dreadnought once (come within actual visual distance--the (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#vdreadnought")dreadnought(/url) is that big gray triangular thing, in case you're wondering), and leave. The danger comes when you're buzzing the ship. I strongly recommend using the cloaking device when you're going by the ship; even if you're out of actual firing range of the ship, the (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#vfrigate")Frigates(/url), (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#vcruiser")Cruisers(/url), and (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#vinterceptor")Interceptors(/url) can still kill you easily, especially if you haven't upgraded from a (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#scoutship")scoutship(/url), (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#fc")freight-courier(/url), or even (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#uefighter")UE Fighter(/url) yet. Of course, this is the easiest mission in the whole string, in my opinion. You'll need to upgrade anyway. That's pretty much all I've got to say.
Except that, although I hate to be mean, you probably should have searched this before posting. Of course, I don't know anyone who's asked exactly this question before, but chances are that someone has.

I like going up against the Dreadnaught, so even on the 'observe' mission, I take out the prototype. It's fun!
Of course, this means you need a fairly decent ship before you go on that mission. It's worthwhile to have something you like by then - that way you get to keep the cloaking device for a nice long time.
People who use plugs to make the Dreadnaught easier are missing one of the most satisfying battles of the game. Defeating it requires thought (unless you read the spoilers wlsewhere on this board), and more than a little nerve.
Stay close to the 'naught when it finally blows up; it hurls you halfway across space, baby!

I guess that's all you have to do. Then it's probably easier in a (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#scoutship")Scoutship(/url) or something like that. In that case, it's a really easy mission. Just target the "(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/evosite/shipyard.html#vdreadnought")Dreadnought(/url) Prototype" and jump out. Cool...I guess I didn't have to kill myself the first time I tried it.
