AMM (anti matter missile) are very useful if you want to have a high militray ranking with a low maintenance. A high military ranking avoid AI demanding tribute to you for the reason that you aren't enough worthy to exist.

Compared to a Deathknight, a Dreadnougth have less hit points (-10), more attack (+2), more defense (+3), more speed (+1), less range (-1) and is cheaper (-200).
So if you have the choice, a Dreadnought seems to be a better choice.

Dreadnought! The extra attack and defense more than make up for the hit point defecit.

As Peace Phoenix says though, the AMM is the weapon of choice if you just want to build your military rating up.

The Phoenix is great if you've got Grav Accs and can keep it away from enemy ships - use it as a hit & run ship to take out AI transports and non-capital ships.

Go for the Dreadnought over the Deathknight.

Anti matter missiles.
You can use starfighters to get rid of freighters and colony ships.
AMMs cost MUCH MUCH less than the ships they destroy.

AMMs are great for softening up a Planet's defences.
especially if it is defended by a Dreadnought.

I am using anti-matter missiles only for eliminating Super Starbases with high defence... in some cases one missile is enough in some not... but it a lot cheaper to use few of those instead hole fleet to get rid of them...
I couldnt tell which one is better Draednought or DeathKnight..i always built both bcoz one or another better for illing different targets..
