But the EMP missiles are very much effected by the screens while the
needles
aren't.  Possibly use an initial volley of needles and then some EMPs
for
some real damage?

But the best would have to be the Nova Cannon and the Wave guns.  Try a
cruiser armed with a cloaking device and a Wave Gun.  Keep it cloaked
for a
while till you get close-ish (as Dreads are inevitably slow, it
shouldn't
bee too hard to work out where it will be when you decloak), decloak
(and
hope you are near it) and then let rip with the Wave gun.  Thump. 
Hurty.
It can work well if done right.  I know cause I've had it done to me.
