I like to put a warp opener, warp closer, repair bay on my baseships I put in my fleets. Then the whole fleet moves faster than any normal ship -- a few systems at a time. But this likewise is just for show really.

Default Re: Dreadnoughts vs Baseships

In stock, which I use depends primarily on my opponent. In most games, I'll build primarily Dreadnoughts, because that that +40% to be hit on baseships can make a big difference. However, in any game where my opponent is religious, I go baseships all the way, because my defence % doesn't matter a whit, and I'd rather get the most damage on target as possible with those massive mounts.

By that time, most battles consist of massive fleets going at it, with the victor mopping up the system afterwards.
