Dreadnoughts are not a single ship class, but instead represent many different types of ship, such as the tactical focused Dreadnought Carrier, the engineering focused Dreadnought Cruiser, and the science focused Science Dreadnought.
The main differences dreadnoughts have over standard ship types such as the Cruiser is the addition of a hangar bay and the ability to use Dual Cannons. All dreadnoughts have at least one hangar bay, while Dreadnought Carriers and Heavy Dreadnought Cruisers get two.
Dreadnought Carriers typically have a Commander Tactical seat, 7 weapons, two hangar bays, and Subsystem Targeting abilities but lack the Experimental Weapon that other 7 weapon tactical ships have.
Science Dreadnoughts typically have a Commander Science seat, 7 weapons, a hangar bay, Subsystem Targeting abilities, as well as a Secondary Deflector and Sensor Analysis.
Dreadnought Warbirds have either a Commander Tactical or Engineering seat, 8 weapons, and a hangar bay.
Juggernauts, while not Dreadnoughts, share some similarities. They have a Tactical Commander seat and 8 weapons as well as a unique ability but lack the hangar bay that dreadnoughts have.
