Well, what I meant was, "only" 4 cruisers is still more, in terms of total power, than 2 dreadnoughts. And if I just want a bit of extra power on top of the 4 cruisers, going for interceptors might be more economical. Sure, it takes more actions to move a swarm of interceptors, but that should be compensated by the fact that they take less actions to upgrade.
This is the benefit of dreadnoughts right here. You can move a lot of firepower with fewer move actions. You are also assuming these ships will be full upgraded. Dreads give you a better ship without having to upgrade or while relying on fewer upgrades.
