The dreadnought moves 15 gu/s.
The station moves 5 gu/s.
So there's a space to add a new class ship.
Heavy Dreadnought (or other name)
This class ship moves 10 gu/s.
And has bit heavyier weapons and armors than dreadnought.

I believe there is already a "heavy" dreadnaught hull, which is used in the assault-type dreadnaughts for each race. I can't recall how they differ from normal dread hulls precisely, although they do go at the same speed.

shoudn't "assault" dreads be a bit faster, but less armor and more weapons? Just a thought.

the assault class has heavier armor, reinforced bulkheads and heavier weaponry...sounds to me it might go a bit slower...

Assault dread is almost same as normal dread.
They have more front armor, but they have less aft armor.
They have pretty better weapons, but they have energy problem.
Yea, And they move same speed as normal dread.
I designed "Heavy Dreadnought" for not assault.
They are just large version of dreadnought.
For filling the gap between the station and the dreadnought.
