DREADNOUGHT - What to Expect as a New Player / Early Game (The EAR)

[@w4stedspace]

Having more fun than I expected with this one for sure, loved the aesthetic but that's never the same as fun gameplay! Gonna have to play some more of course and see how things evolve when I'm not playing the 'easymode' bit of course.. but so far so good :) Cheers guys! Hope you're having a good day :)

[@dragontemplar4561]

The Fulgora oberon corvette can fire in all directions :P

[@Alasthors]

w4stedspace sure it's a good game. But good Luck with the grind wall

[@rith2757]

w4stedspace I have googled this and all. I play on PC. How do you zoom in? Like when shooting? Pls tell

[@edgydude381]

i play on ps4 so i don't know the control layout for pc, but there is an Aim button allow you to zoom and focus your fire (especially for artilery cruisers).

[@Kris-ym2zr]

Great breakdown. Thanks for making this video

[@CaptainShack]

Looks like I need to get back into Dreadnought. Your pulling me back in W4sted.

[@w4stedspace]

Damn right you do! I need people to healzor! :)

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

You guys should totally do a vid together as a team or something. You two, Tex, maybe Syk, maybe Morph whenever he's available.

[@Kirkmaximus]

It's good to see that this game is making a come back. As a huge scifi/space sim fan, I really wanted try out Dreadnought after seeing Jesse/Strippin' try it out, but the devs limited the number of players until recently. I believe that I will give Dreadnought another try. Especially since there are short que times and very few bugs. Thanks for the "First Look" video and I look forward to future updates.

[@wRatte]

Dude, you've got a rediculously good review mastery. Not just what you say, but the videos you show (especially related to what you say), the gameplay it demonstrates, etc. Well done.

[@w4stedspace]

Well tyvm :) Nice comment to wake up to!

[@jetlagged3645]

I can see why you enjoy Dreadnought so much, everyone has their preferences of course, the only reason I haven't given it a go myself is I simply played Fractured Space first, and their entire studio is smaller than DN's programming department while at the same time putting out a game that looks just as good, and is team based, not just "how well can I as an individual do" style. Regardless, good enjoyable video, can't wait to see more.

[@w4stedspace]

Don't get me wrong, I respect FS a lot and had some fun in it, but the pacing is a bit different to Dreadnought and I guess that's what did it for me... getting old and a slow and FS is just a bit too fast paced in comparison heh :)

[@jetlagged3645]

We all have our tastes, they're both good games, glad to see you found the one that works for you.

[@w4stedspace]

No different to Warthunder vs World of Tanks :) No point in hate, 2 good games and you just end up preferring one of them!

[@johnmandark6391]

You should make a video telling people about Fractured Space. Its not new, but its a great game that lacks a bit of community that your exposure would bring.

[@arjb42]

That's so cool. Thank you for another video wasted you the best.

[@seanminturn2018]

From the ship in the thumbnail and the one in the trailer at the beginning, I thought this was going to be a WH40k-based game. I'd say it definitely takes some aesthetic inspiration with some of those ship designs.

[@Jaden-lv7kx]

I'm going to play this! *Goes to website, downloads* Download time:12 hours.

[@StevenHouse1980]

W4sted this just gave me an idea for Engineer Wars trying to fly a ship with a timer block that trigers a random thruster for a second then another in a diferent direction, think bull rideing around a 3d Track wile trying not to crach into a few space stations.

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

This is the sort of game I need to look into. Playing as big spaceships floating around and fighting each other always sounds awesome.

[@catbert7]

You should try Fractured Space as well. Very similar but objective-based rather than deathmatch and greater strategic/tactical depth.

[@urmum8643]

Dreadnought is a very fun game, i have played it myself since about of month into the closed beta release, different construction comps build different classes better than others. For instance one of them builds tanky dreadnoughts just like they are supposed to be. I do personally love the dreadnought i love being able to slowly cruise around and tear holes in enemy ships

[@urmum8643]

It os possible to play with the lower levels along with what ive seen i have never noticed rep cost

[@crazyivan7884]

Thoroughly enjoyable review, its officially on my play list! :)

[@johnlukan230]

I've taken to charging Dreadnoughts with a Sniper ship and bringing them down with pretty decent odds lol

[@MickyE117]

Forgot about this game tbh but will give it a go as soon as possible now. Looks like fun.

[@ranecrade2812]

the grind is strong with this game

[@direravenext3815]

Love this game to this day.

[@crisis8v88]

@8:20 Those rotor mounted turrets, though.

[@nicolatesla9429]

Looks interesting! I played Fractured Space for a little bit in the past, and I might tr this one out aswell.

[@golden3dge]

Very much like fractured space. Loving it, very addictive. And free to play? Defo worth a go

[@Tim_The_Dim]

W4sted master of clang, blower up of space ships, and representative of red green colour blind people. :D keep up the great work w4sted

[@Adrielisan7]

Tim The Dim I thought enemy ships were red and friendlies blue. Where is this red green business coming from?

[@Tim_The_Dim]

idk lol

[@ACDC-1FAN]

UI has changed quite a bit, glad they now give more points for healers

[@captainrex7655]

I have Dreadnought on my PS4 and i must say,it is a realy good game and I recommend it to people who like games like WoWS or War thunder and also like sci-fi :)

[@rew-ru4cp]

That game sis tarting to look a bit nicer, I think I will try it out!

[@shadow3675]

So this game is worth downloading on my ps4?

[@tylerbell8957]

Favorite thing is to find 2 enemy destroyers than warp in between them as a dreadnought and broadside one and shred the other with the secondary fire, makes you feel like a badass

[@johnwhite8151]

Maniac 233 except when you do that to any competent players they through up shields immediately and then ram torpedoes up your ass

[@tylerbell8957]

John White I know it’s a stupid play, but it’s fun to do against bad players

[@jerrysmith3017]

Colorblind Represent!!!

[@MainlyUnknown]

I did join the game ages again

[@jandraelune1]

Hook up with Xocliw, Aragath got him into it. Conrad and me have been hanging with Xoc in Dreadnought the longest.

[@ferpman2179]

So what is the real difference between Dreadnought and Fractured Space other than the research tiers and some of the game modes? Also, good vid. Would be fun to see more of this game on the channel.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

they have a very different take on gameplay. fractured space is more about your traditional moba 3 lane and abilities thing. dreadnought is more on the WOW style, but with much more personalisation options

[@catbert7]

Differences I've noticed: -*Dreadnought is a simple team deathmatch while FS is objective-based.* -*Dreadnought has no dynamic armor system.* -Dreadnought allows switching ships during match, resulting in constant counter-picks. -Dreadnought has a very different energy system. -*Dreadnought has no strafing.* -Dreadnought has two weapon modes for each ship. -Dreadnought has different reload mechanics. -*Dreadnought's map is a single area where FS has multiple sectors to jump between.* -Dreadnought has more ship customization while FS has many more ship classes. Most of those are fairly inconsequential differences but I highlighted the most impactful ones. Each of those make Dreadnought less strategic/tactical than FS and require less teamplay. You'll have to play each to see which feels right to you. I enjoyed both but Dreadnought got boring for me a LOT faster since it just doesn't have the depth of FS.

[@ravenprime5148]

Advice for players wanting to play as a corvette: Do Not, and i mean Do Not try and pick a fight with a dreadnought when you have no backup, You will not win

[@BigAntoni]

yay

[@lkjyuiop1987]

This game is fun but kind of a pain in the ass. Can’t tell what ship is what when I pick one I wish the middle button that you swipe would just be the left buttons

[@this_fire_9698]

Does anyone know if this is available on console

[@Lucas-wj8kl]

Quinn Ross ps4 as far as i know

[@gonndalfderblaue6449]

I'm playing Dreadnought for two Weeks now and have to say it's a really great game, especially for free to play. But there is one big problem in my opinion, which is that multiple ship tiers play in the same league. This can get very frustrating, since you often loose fights just because the enemy team has higher tier ships. The chance of a mostly tier two team winning against a mostly tier four team is pretty much not existent. The difference between the tiers is ridicules, especially since higher tier ships have apart from more hitpoints and more damage also more range. A T2 vs. T4 duel can quite easily end with the T2 going down before he even is in range, especially with artillerycruisers that can onehit each other.

[@johnwhite8151]

Gönndalf der Blaue the recruit league only allows up to tier 2, so a tier 2 and 4 means you are playing veteran, and I would recommend dropping back down until you ease into a tier 3 ship

[@GordonSeal]

I gave up on Dreadnought after playing a few days. The playerbase is really small, so once you get out of the rookie level you get thrown into matches with the high tier high module veteran ships, who instantly crush your noob team 9 out of 10 times. It was fun for a few days, but I just don't being constantly matched into unfair teams and steamrolled. Not to mention the grind is really insane in Dreadnought. It just rubs the whole "buy gold with real money" in your nose too much.

[@crystalclearchaos5387]

You have flak canons on the ships

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

on some yes, it depens on what kind of secondaries you have on a ship. this particular destroyer has flak, as well as the sniper showed in the video. good at taking out corvettes that get too close or fighters in team elimination.

[@Kuruqan]

Love the art, love the feel, even the UI is nice. But nothing ruins a game faster than other players. I'd love to see this repackaged in something similar to starpoint gemeni, E:D or so on.

[@w4stedspace]

Read the chat at the end section though, was lovely.. only up briefly but was remarkably positive. Yup, had some nasty games... but honestly it didn't feel toxic like some do!

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

peps here are realy not that toxic, since there is no MMR system and you get lots of research and credits even in defeat

[@stewb1409]

Not for me, but enjoy yourself in it man :P

[@imperialguardsman135]

hud looks like the one in galactic junk league

[@Cythan]

Like star conflict

[@sgthootnany]

looks like fractured space. wonder if the same people.

[@Tericc1]

This is what eve should have been with ship combat

[@w4stedspace]

Can you imagine eve but with this combat? lol... would be insanely cool

[@XX-qo5ny]

Sci-Fi world of tanks, neat.

[@lkjyuiop1987]

It’s kind of fun but weird can’t seem to get any badass shit I like the snipe ships it’s to slow to get in to a game Waiting for 10 min just let me play with A.I.

[@wolfyboy]

it LOOKS cool, and well polished, but the very GAMEPLAY isn't for me! i don't want a game that is JUST fighting! that gets kinda boring, as there isn't any ADVENTURE, just "pick a ship, fight, get new stuff, equip new stuff, pick a ship, fight, rinse and repeat" which is why i am VERY cautiously excited for star citizen, (due go it seeming PERFECT, and that is one of the FIRST things yiu learn "nothing is perfect") as that has the LOOKS of a game focused on cool ships and explosions, but the FREEDOM of a FPS, and an open world space sim.

[@theQuickining]

I enjoy this game but new players need to learn to mark targets, focus fire on primary targets, and for the love of God if a stealth corvette is up your team's healers ass protect your healer while they are protecting you

[@tohpingtiang4878]

Really slow flying speed, Giant spaceships long distances away but using only eyesight to see. Storm trooper aim.

[@tsuna111]

im going to download world of warship then i found this demn flying WARSHIP

[@CaptnStone]

Its a standard shooter with space skins.

[@johnwhite8151]

Craig Clark. W E L C O M E T O T H E N O F U N Z O N E. Every game can be dumbed down enough to sound boring and repetitive if you want to be a sad sack of shit about it

[@diamondtron01]

So a Free To Play game where money is still involved with microtranactions but to lvl up you need to go against players who are most likely tryhards or just toxic? Sounds like everything else wrong with gaming today.

[@DivineTroy617]

So it's Star Conflict with Fractured Space's size.

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

One got to play proving grounds once at the start,I'd rather play it because pvp basically has players with better ships and I usually can't fight them unless I sit back and use an artillery cruiser or just stick with the others and heal them. Sad, I like destroyers so much, they worked better in lower levels

[@HobLobbington]

*ahem* Fractured Space.

[@UnknownHumanoid]

...this interface is way better than the 2018. I can't imagine what type of thinking is behind making a game looking so much worse. It looks like a beta. Very unfinished, very primitive, very unversatile.

[@CMDRFandragon]

This game looks good for a storyline game...but meh just pvp pew pew.

[@SteelSparrowhawk]

Сейчас можно ожидать закрытия проекта в марте. Доигрались.

[@0Eddiejames55]

World of Tanks in Space with a Worse Grind there done thats what u can expect dont get me wrong it is fun but u need over a week of nonstop grinding to get into close to top-tier

[@johnwhite8151]

0Eddiejames55 ? I have been playing for like 3 days, and only in my free time, yet I've already got it tier 3, with tier one and 2 maxed. Its not that bad if you don't keep a full ship roster and only use the one you want to level into so the research isnt divided up into all your equipped ships

[@Chris-iv8sb]

update, one year later. what to expect as a new player? no teamplay, no communication. in a teamgame. its like lol, except you cant carry 7 other imbeciles. veteran is just as bad, legendary rarely forms. well, shit. still like playing it though :^)

[@-sanju-]

I'm late but does this game have any sort of singleplayer? Or is it multiplayer only?

[@Chris-iv8sb]

@@-sanju- dont think it has singleplayer but ive never looked it up, so idk

[@-sanju-]

@@Chris-iv8sb Ah ok

[@ronaldsan2667]

Land world of tanks Sea world of warship Air dreadnought

Is this a pay to win game?

[@alleycairns-wilson2395]

Second!

[@cutekitty192]

Wandering Madman you're actually second xD

[@alleycairns-wilson2395]

Cute Kitty am I? It never seems like that

[@AceCrasher24]

It's literally world of warships but with less lead and trajectory but more verticality.... Not sure I'd like it tbh, I've seen a lot of devs try to re create world of warships in their own style, yet they all seem to get overly repetitive.

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

well, i played it a bit, and i can say there is a LOT of leading involved. not because of the extreme distances or lack of projectile speed, but because ships here can move in all directions and rather fast. on planets, ships can use the gravity to their advantage and go for dive maneuvers for example. leading on medium to small targets cruising around at max speed can be much harder than nailing a max range shot in WOW on sleepy BB drivers. the experience itself is pretty repetitive but gets WAY more diverse with tiers, starting at T3, where you gain access to lot more abilities, like on the dreadnought, the ability to specialise in broadside, or takning, or launch tons of missiles, including nuclear warheads that warp into orbit and come thundering down towards your target, requiering you to detonate it at the right time to hit multiple dudes. my favorite ship right now is the corvette but i am trying to expand on dreads as well since they have a lot of team related playstyles which i quite like.

[@Zoey--]

Didn't know this existed... a non P2W world of tanks style game? With bitching space ships? Hello....

[@catbert7]

Check out Fractured Space as well then. Same idea but objective-based and a bit more strategic/tactical depth.

[@nikich375]

It's literally Fractured Space HD edition

[@jetlagged3645]

The only similarity between Fractured Space and DN is the fact that they are about spaceships shooting at each other, pretty much everything is completely different.

[@catbert7]

No... Differences I've noticed: -*Dreadnought is a simple team deathmatch while FS is objective-based.* -*Dreadnought has no dynamic armor system.* -Dreadnought allows switching ships during match, resulting in constant counter-picks. -Dreadnought has a very different energy system. -*Dreadnought has no strafing.* -Dreadnought has two weapon modes for each ship. -Dreadnought has different reload mechanics. -*Dreadnought's map is a single area where FS has multiple sectors to jump between.* -Dreadnought has more ship customization while FS has many more ship classes. Most of those are fairly inconsequential differences but I highlighted the most impactful ones. Each of those make Dreadnought less strategic/tactical than FS and require less teamplay. They have a lot of similarities but they are definitely not the same game.

[@deanorc1002]

Third

[@deadsheep1559]

bored.

[@otariicampbell8745]

One boring ass game sucks to hell

[@relhimp]

Respawns makes this game stagnant and pointless.

[@johnwhite8151]

ELH Imp 1. Play elimination 2. It allows for actual counter play. If your team picks a balanced and well rounded squad of like, 2 destroyers and artillery cruiser, a tactical cruiser, and a dreadnought, but the enemy picks 5 artillery cruisers, and pop up with siege mode and obliterate a destroyer as soon as its in range, that's not very fun because not only is the enemy still unlikely to win, but now you are just sitting there because you got cheesed and waiting for the next round

[@rangerunner6274]

CORVETTES NEED TO BE NERFED!!!

[@mobiuscoreindustries]

actualy, at vetran matches, they become much less of a threat, since destroyers chew them, and even healers become resistant enought to zap you with their secondaries if you are not carefull

[@catbert7]

They aren't OP, they are just glass cannons. Equip your ship to deal with them and be vigilant. You can kill them as fast as they can kill you.

[@johnwhite8151]

catbert7's Gaming Highlight faster if you play destroyers

[@FASTPISTOLDRAW]

Its not rigged like world of warships is. Making it a way more better and fun game to play for free.
