Ragnarok OR Magistrate?

[x Princess Leliana x]

Finally ready for the best of the best, but I can't choose which dreadnought I like. The ragnarok has more guns on each side (by 1), and looks way better, but the magistrate has much more battery power, any ideas?

Personally, like many others, I find the Hallberd excel at combat the most. However it certainly lacks the look when comparing to these two.

Just a lil bit of advice, you can always adjust the ship's power during combat.

I know you can, but more battery power by default means it has even more when on 90^ weapons.

Why halberd though? It has the least guns out of all dreds, a seriously poor hull, poor battery power, core, eetc. What is there to make it good?

This guy has a pretty good review on each:

Again it's an opinion with a bit of stats backup.

Ragnarok is trash because of terrible firing arcs.
Magistrate is a good all rounder if you do no mind having a blind spot at the rear.
Halberd is popular because of the shields and coverage, but it is not the most powerful.

I like the Tokio myself. Might be a bit ugly, but it's been good to me.

The thing is you'll eventually adjust your playstyle to accommodate the drawbacks of whichever dreadnaught you pick anyway so anyone will do till you decide to go for the titan DLC next.

Tokio is a beast in every meaning...

when i played dreads it felt like Hallberd is good for tanking not so much for damage, Tokio is a bully of a dread and Asteria is a deadly assassin (my favorite), but to each his own
play the dread you like the most by the looks and adapt you play style and strategy

I will forward this to our ship designer so he can jump out of the window.

That Ragnarok really needs turret update... or some one will be jumping out 5 stories tall office building. xD

Personally I think the Tokio is very beautiful...in a oversized oddly shaped type of beauty. Rag is trash though.

All of the Sydicate/Outerlands ships need turret updates.

VERY much agree on this.

I LOVE the appearance of the outerlands/syndicate line of ships, but they all have terribad firing arcs. It's very sad :(

Don't tell him to do that on my account - I love that ship! Got it on a 7% boarding action roll, and it's been my main ship since about 2/3 the way through the campaign.

Eehhhh, I've gotten a cavalier at 2% chance of capture with a Magisterate
