*Despite the fact that the turrets are heavy-hitting, the [[Hull]] alpha is rather lacking and that anything at the class of [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruiser]] or above has significant damage resistance; and as such struggles to destroy nearly every [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ship]], and even some Battlecruisers. | *Despite the fact that the turrets are heavy-hitting, the [[Hull]] alpha is rather lacking and that anything at the class of [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruiser]] or above has significant damage resistance; and as such struggles to destroy nearly every [[:Category:Capital Ship|Capital Ship]], and even some Battlecruisers. | ||
*Due to most of its health being [[Shields|Shield-based]], this ship struggles to tank Starbases from below, where a Starbase's turrets have the least lines of sight but also where the starbase's heavy laser armament is focused. This makes the '''Judgement''' worse for using as a tank in sieges than almost any other Dreadnought, most of which have high Hull health or a good balance between Hull and Shield health. | *Due to most of its health being [[Shields|Shield-based]], this ship struggles to tank Starbases from below, where a Starbase's turrets have the least lines of sight but also where the starbase's heavy laser armament is focused.

*On paper the '''Judgement''' looks decent for use as a siege ship, but the pea-shooter-like damage output (even with the decent alpha damage), lack of ability to outrange most [[Starbase|Starbases]](Starbases received a range nerf: it is possible to outrange ''most'' of the weapons from above now), and focus on Shield HP makes this not the best ship to use for [[Sieging]], not to mention being essentially useless for purposes outside of that. | * On paper the '''Judgement''' looks decent for use as a siege ship, but the pea-shooter-like damage output (even with the decent alpha damage), lack of ability to outrange most [[Starbase|Starbases]](Starbases received a range nerf: it is possible to outrange ''most'' of the weapons from above now), and focus on Shield HP makes this not the best ship to use for [[Sieging]], not to mention being essentially useless for purposes outside of that. | ||
*While the ship can be effective in groups of two or three of the same ship, there are dozens of better options for Dreadnoughts in terms of how a team should use their Dreadnought ship slots. | |||
