Can I use my Pirat Dreadnought to attack other ships.

Ok so I have a Pirate Dreadnought, now what looks cool but can it be used to attack other ships.

If only! To be able to have defend it from Star Ship attacks. Even have Freighter battles!!! Thoughts about modding come to mind. Too bad we don't know how to mod NMS? Parking my Pirate Freighter in a Save for another time.

Found an S-Class Capital Freighter on a play through. First one I ever fought during a Expedition. I always play though the Expeditions once without mods.

I'm keeping the Omega Expedition S-Class Freighter I got! I don't take on a Freighter until the Expedition is almost over. This time I got my 1st S-Class. And she's a real beauty.

Man a mod to attack other ships, would take Pirating to a new level in No Man's Sky.

I mean, Piloting the Dreadnought, target other ship, either manual, or auto pilot, so you can jump into your fighter and have some Fun.

Place the Pirate Freighter (any owned Freighter) and Anomaly next to a Space station

Initiate missions from space stations and anomaly that involve pirate attacks (if it's one of those missions that require you to fly further away, do the "scan-for-pirates" then call in your freighter)

Fly your ship close-in between attacker(s) and your freighter... allow the attackers missed shots to hit your freighter. Your freighter will begin firing upon the attacker.

The damage freighters deliver is oddly minimal but, it makes for a more spectacular battle.

P.s. Have not done the above for a while, since my Photon Cannon can take out each pirate ship in about 3 seconds, so not sure if it's still working.
You can also do this by flying close to NPC freighters when under attack
