Question: Would it cost the same number of cps as 6 Dreadnoughts, or be less as an advantage?

Probably cost more, since its a hero unit, has the central core, and has a large number of Jedi onboard.

i would think it is more because they are more accurate, durable, and there is extra material needed to make it. it is also i am assuming a hero unit.

technically it should go slower because you are adding mass to 6 dreadnaughts that already have to pull their own weight.

We're talking in-game mechanics here, not book canon.  As a hero unit, Outbound Flight will be better than 6 individual dreadnaughts would be.

okay i did the physics math using icbm's for the example. if you take 1 missile that is capable of 4 times the speed of sound. and combine it with 5 more for say massive payload delivery...(all hypothetical) you could actually achieve 1.5 times the speed of just 1 icbm. so there for, the dreadnaughts should go 1.5 times faster than normal

Space allows unlimited velocity, So technically a greater mass with greater engine power would achieve greater speed.... Anywho, it won't be that much faster, just slightly.

arbiter there is a thrust to mass ratio that limits your possible speed in space. the heavier an object, the more thrust to get it off the planet and propel it through space is required. otherwise we could have easily gone past the speed of light by now. so far that we know, possible speed is limitless. although some theorize that the speed of light is the maximum possible velocity

You forget that we are talking about the Star Wars universe, in which spacecraft can exceed the speed of light......

Outbound Flight has not only 6+ times the mass of a normal dreadnaught, but six times the engine power which provides your thrust... Anywho, Scarecrow is right, this isn't going to turn into some sort of debate over what is and isn't possible, as lightsabers and the force throw all of that out the window. Regardless, Outbound Flight WILL be slightly faster than a regular Dreadnaught. Not significantly, but still faster.

wouldn't lightsabers use plasma though if they were light they would go on forever
