This is amazing. A post of mine that DIDN'T incite a huge argument. Never thought i'd see that happen... anyway, on to the setup and criticism. Let's start at the top, shall we? Well, the drone bit i'll ignore, cuz i have those in all my large ships. Now, about the bit where i won't be able to hit jack with those guns... well, i wouldn't be that close. Being that they are ARTILLERY i would be at around 90k or more. If i WANTED to be right in the middle of the belt i'd put in a gyro and the autocannons plus some ammo with a 60% range reduction so i could hit anything in the belt. Also, the siege module is there mainly because i wouldn't hear the end of it if i DIDN'T put one in. "Oh, it's a dread, it HAS to have a siege module because... well... it's a dread!" And about that bit of me being the target? If i were in the center of the belt near miners, that would be the idea so that they could get out of there since we have a bunch of hulks and a rorqual and then, once they are safely within our POS's forcefield, i could warp out also and recover. At that point we would probably switch systems or something, though knowing our leader he would prolly order everyone to try and kick the pirates ass... Moving on... yes, you foresaw the 'it'll tank the roving gang' and i have also taken that into consideration. Truthfully, what could i do? If i'm sitting in a dread most (*NOTE* MOST) of the pirates that will come through our humble system will turn tail and run, BUT in the rare case that there will be a whole fleet in our isolated little system i fully expect to sacrifice myself to save the rest of the fleet.
