- Dreadnought will be going offline on July 7th (updated) - 16 December 2022
Dear Captains, After countless epic battles, Dreadnought will sunset on July 7th, 2023. We love the universe that we were able to create together with you. Thank you! To give a proper sendoff and farewell to the game, we’re planning a number of activities and events between now and July. Please stay tuned for announcements. In the meantime, here are some important things to note: - We will continue to support Dreadnought until July 7th, 2023, at 11 am CST. At that time, the servers will go offline, and you will no longer be able to play the game. - Starting today, real-money transactions have been disabled. This includes GPs, Elite Status, packs, and DLCs sold in the in-game market, on Steam, PlayStation, or through third-party game stores. - Existing GP, XP, and Credit balances will not be affected. You will be able to continue to use your balance to acquire items through the in-game m…

- Release 30 - 15 March 2022
Patch Notes Fighter Improvements: Fighters weren't quite working the way I was hoping, so I tweaked some behavior values and increased damage for fighters and T5 interceptors. Fighters - Tweaked some settings to get them engaging correctly again. Increased damage from 300/350 to 350/450 Interceptor - Increased damage of each missile at Tier 5 from 5000 to 5500. Rupture Improvement: Due to consistent feedback about Rupture not being anywhere near as good as Purge, and the additional annoyance of heal balls, I have added another benefit to rupture to make it more useful at breaking up heal balls. Healing reduction along with armor debuff should make it easier to take out groups of multiple healers. Rupture Beam - Added 15% healing reduction to debuff. Rupture Ram and Rupture Catalyst - Added 25% healing reduction to debuff. Onslaught Command Ship Changes: In Onslaught, the command ship ha…

Captain Bix Duquette, or Bix, is a legend of the scum belt. The founder of Sinley Bay is both feared and respected. But there's a side of Bix that only the best Captains get to see. Once a year, Bix rewards the most loyal dwellers of Sinley Bay with gifts. "It ain't a sentimental thing," he said. "It's a practical thing. These renegades risk their lives fighting a war that will never end... but they will fight for whoever pays them the most... or for whoever they like the best. I may as well make sure the best Captains are on my side." Every day between December 23 and January 3, there will be ONE free article in the market. YOU CAN CLAIM ALL GIFTS WHILE BIXMAS IS ACTIVE!

Note: The blink animation when you have an unread message is broken, but the chat won't hide off the screen.
- Dreadnought Release 26 - 2 July 2021
Dreadnought Release 26 Patch Notes: Custom matches on PC We are introducing Custom Matches to PC Dreadnought for the first time. Players will have the ability to start matches with custom parameters such as game mode, map, teams, and players the host has selected. Invites to Custom Match lobbies are based on your friends list. Once invited to the Custom Match lobby, your friends can also invite their friends. Squads are not part of Custom Matches at this time. You will exit your current squad when you join a custom match If you invite someone who is currently in a squad the invite is only for them and not their squadmates. There are no match rewards for Custom Matches at this time. We may change this in the future but it would be at a lower reward level similar to Proving Grounds. Known Issues - Custom Matches: Currently you can start a custom match with just yourself (1v0). This can be…

- QuickMatch Hotfix - 7 May 2021
Hey Captains, We fixed an issue where using Quick Match on the Home screen wouldn't work if you got the popup to buy battle bonus. Now should work correctly regardless.
- Dreadnought Update - 23 April 2021
Greetings, Captains. In this release, we deployed a more flexible queuing functionality, brought back an improved version of Ceres Awakens, and fixed a handful of bugs. We also added a new “Deep Space Explorers” outfit to the market, and put some of our hero ships on sale. Here’s the detailed scoop: QUICK MATCH (FAVORITES) QUEUE Before this release, you could either queue for ANY game mode or for only one. However, some Captains prefer to play some of the game modes, but not all. With this in mind, we added flexibility to the queue. Now players can select which game modes are their “favorite” and only queue for those. When you are in the Game Mode Selection screen, you will notice two things: The ANY button was replaced by a QUICK MATCH button. Each game mode has a GREY LIGHTNING BOLT in the lower right of the buttons. If you click this lightning bolt, it will turn blue, setting this ga…

- APRIL’S FOOL -- WELCOME TO INVASION! - 3 April 2021
APRIL’S FOOL -- WELCOME TO INVASION! As many of you figured out, OUR “SIMPLIFIED” DREADNOUGHT WAS AN APRIL’S FOOLS JOKE. We are not eliminating the colors or the regular spaceships from our game. The game changes are for a new event this weekend: INVASION! As you may imagine, we’re big fans of sci-fi movies and vintage sci-fi movies have a special place in our hearts. INVASION! pays homage to the B-list movies of the 1950s. Films like “The Day The Earth Stood Still” and “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers” created a mythology of deadly aliens flying sleek ships, ready to kill us all, and heroic humans battling them and prevailing at the end. What’s not to like? ABOUT THE EVENT: GRAY SANDS MAP: We transformed the Red Sands maps into “Gray Sands” and added a menacing alien station. FREE FLYING SAUCER HERO SHIP: A “Flying Saucer” Tactical Cruiser is available in the market for free. After the ev…
- Update notes for April 1st - 1 April 2021
Turbo TDM - Removed fire and reload rate buff as this was too good on certain classes. Turbo TDM - Reduced points per kill to 2 to extend games as they were ending too fast with no time to catch up. Red Sands - Removed all the color from red sands. It was getting in the way of enjoying the game. Hangar - Also removed color from Sinley Bay to be consistent. New Ship - Marauder - Light Tac Cruiser and annihilator of humans.
