Faster yes, but there's also 200kT less space for components. Yeah, battleships also have less space taken up by life support and crew quarters, but if you have the master computer (an expensive component) that doesn't matter, and with dreadnoughts you'll use fewer master computers total, as you won't be able to afford quite as many ships as you would if you went with battleships. So are there any super-important reasons, besides speed, that say I should go with battleships?? And is 1 point in speed that important? By the way, thanks a lot for the help
