There is no need for a new thread, the subject is already being discussed in the General Discussion: 1.670 (Beta) thread...

Agree. You know this topic is essential, JBud.
There is a fact I want to know before I discuss. In his previous post, Jim declared all ships are designed to reach a certain cap point of gadgets. Now it would be best if Jim publishes the point of each gadget along with the angle and the maximum cap point for a distinguishing ship. From that, we can discuss, instead of making dreams.
The role of a ship in few words is also reprequisite. I'm sorry but the description is quite a long story, small & green letters are difficult to view because the dreadnaught and the board stays upon them. May you make it simple by stating: long range shooting; fighter spamming; close-range assualt etc, Jim?

Although I only found time to test the the ICC Combat dread against a horde of smaller ships yet, I must say the layouts look promising.

The main thing that bothers me about the ICC Command Carrier vs UGTO Command Dread is the ICC version does not have a HMA/WH while UGTO does, other than that I'm fine with the Command Carrier being a glorified Engineer that can launch Fighters.
EDIT: According to Jim that was an error and it should be getting HMA/WH back in the next beta update, so no complaints about the CC layout here.

after my test run on the combat dread i am impressed by the increase in firepower it now has...now the bombardment from those heavy rail guns will seriously cause some damage

Most of the torps point forward...

Comment on Kluth dreads:
Why is the Mandi being made the Torp/cannon boat and the Siphon being turned into an all-beam/No-SI ship?
OK first off, most players modded the Siph with Adv Weap Multis 'cos of the torps and cannons, so I find that it was kinda counter-intuitive to make the Siph an all beam boat.
Similar to the Shell/Stinger update where the weapon type complements were reversed, you'll end up with players asking for enhancement swaps or refunds because what they outfitted become totally inapplicable to the new configuration.
Pls reverse it to make the Mandi the beam ship, and the Siph the torp/cannon assault boat.
- The Siphon is supposed to be the Assault Dread equivalent. Both the other 2 factions' EAD and AD have a good torp and beam complement, both weaps being short ranged, heavy damage-dealers. Doesn't make sense that the Siphon becomes a giant Parasite (which IMO, itself was already a strange design)
- The Mandi should remain the beam heavy boat that it is, but with at least a couple of SIs and some cannons at least.
Can we reverse the config?
Siphon = Mandi, but losing some PSIs to get the Siphon's original armor and EW?
Mandi = Siphon config, losing the additional armor and some beams for 2 heavy PSIs, and 2 SIs at least.
I haven't tried the Krill, Brood or Gang yet. Will give more comments once I have.
Edit: I just heard that the SIs were unintentionally left out, so part editted above.
