Hmmm.... how could I spice this up a bit...ahah! How about whenever you vote for one of ships, you try it out against your dreadnoughts! If it kills them at least once, then your vote will NOT be deterred. If it is, then you have to use the other dreadnought. If it kills yours, then the vote will be called a "Rebounced" Vote.
How it Works Once you have done the testing of your ships, you first type in either "Rebounced" (If your voted ship loses the test), or you type "Secured" (If your voted ship wins the test). After you type that in, type the ship name, and tell the one you preferred if you typed in "Rebounced".
