That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I have a sneak peek at some of the new ship designs! I've managed to get my hands on the layouts of three of the most popular dreadnaught-class ships, and I'm going to share them with you, our loyal Darkspace players!
---
M-410A Assault Dreadnought
While the Confederate Navy's primary dreadnought force focuses on mid- and long-range engagements, the heavily reinforced 410A elects to instead go for the direct approach. Built with the explicit intent of engaging and defeating UGTO Battle Dreadnoughts at close range, the 410A is one of the heaviest warships ever fielded by the ICC and excels at its job. Naval analysts on both sides of the conflict have described it as a masterpiece of military engineering.
Layout:
- 1x Tachyon Drive
- 4x IE Drive
- 5x Composite Armor
- 4x Active Shields
- 1x Pulse Shield
- 2x Full-arc Chemical Beam Laser
- 6x Fighter bay
- 1x Fore-arc Heavy Chemical Laser
- 12x IT Missile
- 4x Sabot Rocket
ST-51 Elite Assault Dreadnought
While ST-41s and 45s form the main battle line of the UGTO capital squadrons, ST-51s are the nigh-unstoppable juggernauts that are used to break through enemy formations. Dubbed the "tip of the spear" in official press releases, these powerful assault ships can rapidly turn the tide of battle when they begin their advance. Heavy laser batteries and a staggering number of torpedo launchers give this ship a close-range punch that can hammer through the defenses of even the toughest Confederate dreadnought, while reinforced frontal armor gives them the endurance they need to get into range. Serving aboard one of these mighty and prestigous warships is seen by many UGTO officers as a fast track to promotion.
Layout:
- 1x Tachyon Drive
- 8x IE Drive
- 180x Standard Armor
- 6x Flux Wave
- 4x Full-arc Standard Chemical Laser
- 24x Dual-arc Heavy Chemical Laser
- 8x Dual-arc Flux Beam
- 8x Fore-arc Flux Beam
- 200x Dual-arc Quantum Singularity Torpedo
- 750x Dual-arc Proton Torpedo
- 3000x Auxiliary Power Generator
Krill
The Krill is a relatively new breed of K'luth warship and is based more upon the Brood than the standard Mantis hull. In fighting the humans, the K'luth Armada was at first contemptuous at their use of mid-range heavy warships; their cloaking devices render such things pointless, as they can sneak directly into close range before attacking. When the Great Enemy arrived in human space, however, they were astonished to see those same vessels fight with great efficiency. Perhaps there was something more to this "stand-off" tactic the humans employed. The end result of this is the Krill, a ship that specializes in mid-range combat. Some commanders remain skeptical of its effectiveness; time will tell if it is truly worthy of the K'luth armada.
Layout:
- 1x Antimatter Jump Drive
- 1x PSI Drive
- 1x Cloaking Device
- 1x AHR
- 1x Fore-arc Stellar Incinerator
- 1x ECM
- 2x Auxiliary Power Generator

That's all I've got for now. Enjoy!

I think the stats on the Krill speak enough about how real this is. Poor poor Krill.

Almost all the devs play UGTO. Wouldn't be surprised by this layout (besides the krill being nerfed. They had the guts to release such a broken ship, why take it away?) .

200 QSTs?? you dont need lasers with that, and 750 torpedos would insta kill almost anythin.... they should make it.... just with only 5 gens, then youd fire half at once and be out of the battle for 5 mins.... fair enough?
