The Dreadnought is a naval craft class. Boasting 12-inch and 14-inch naval guns, dreadnoughts are the most heavily-armed ships that can exist on the server. Alongside the Aircraft Carrier, the Dreadnought is also the largest craft class.
Dreadnoughts can possess formidable firepower and often serve as the capital ships of navies on Nations. However, their long rotation times can force them to rely on turreted weapons and screening ships, such as cruisers, to engage faster and more maneuverable targets.
¶ Controls
The Dreadnought will always cruise in the direction of its "front". If you try to cruise sideways, the Dreadnought will move diagonally in that direction instead.
The "front" of the Dreadnought is determined in two ways.
- If your craft has a Cruise sign, the "front" is opposite to the direction that the sign is facing.
- If your craft has no or multiple Cruise signs, the "front" is the direction you are looking at when piloting the craft.
Dreadnoughts use the Naval Direct Control mode. Direct Control mode is superior to manual movement during combat.

¶ Piloting
To pilot a Dreadnought, you may use the command /pilot Dreadnought while standing on an eligible Dreadnought. Alternatively, you may right click a sign on the craft that has Dreadnought written on the first line.
Piloting a Dreadnought increases your render distance to 10 chunks maximum, until you release the craft.
