== Gameplay ==
The player is the captain of a large spacecraft and uses projectile weapons to attack. The player is able to choose between several classes of ships, each with drawbacks and advantages in categories like speed and size. The ships are massive and are intended to give the feel of being a commander, not a rogue bounty hunter. As a result, gameplay involves large amounts of strategy and positioning. In addition to positioning the ship and choosing targets, the player may also allocate power to various parts of the ship. These areas include shields, weapons and engines.<ref name="PC_Gamer_E3_Preview">{{cite web|url=http://www.pcgamer.com/previews/dreadnought-e3-preview/|title=Dreadnought E3 Preview|last1=Butterworth|first1=Scott|publisher=[[PC Gamer]]|date=15 June 2014|accessdate=5 September 2014}}</ref>
=== Multiplayer ===
In multiplayer, coordinated attacks and focus fire are important. Other players may choose to heal a damaged teammate. Matches last around ten minutes and players may switch ship classes after death depending on the match type.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/06/12/dreadnought-goes-big-with-huge-ships.aspx|title=Dreadnought Goes Big with Huge Ships|last1=Tack|first1=Daniel|publisher=[[Game Informer]]|date=12 June 2014|accessdate=5 September 2014}}</ref>
