almost cap dry, or getting pretty low. So therefor I would assume that all the carriers in a fleet just bring energy reps and hope for the best?
If there are a number of dreads then with a fleet that big lag can be an issue. So the reps are kept running. Often it doesn't take the full siege cycle before the tower is in reinforced or popped.
For a smaller crew the reps aren't kept running so cap isn't an issue.
Usually worst case in a few minutes the dread will have enough cap to keep on going. Broadcast for reps, let a carrier rep you while your cap catches up.
Energy transfers are a bit over rated. Works in a small gang but has issues with a larger fleet. First, only the archon/chimera can use these. You can broadcast for cap, but the carrier can't see the status of your cap. If you're being shot you don't need cap nearly as much as you need a remote rep.
I wouldn't count on energy transfers. |

Cap dry? It's not hard to get a dread to be cap stable,
The problem is the preferred fitting for large fights is trimarks + hp buffer. So the cap is likely not to last an entire siege cycle. Easy to keep the cap going out of siege however in siege is an issue.

What if you got signal amplifiers fitted? (something that could make sense on the shield tanked ones...)
2x targets is a hard limit with seige mode engaged.
A dread nearly always has more important things to fit than sig amps.

Can they be made to work in any way solo or as part of a small gang? Parked up outside a POS maybe with someone to point and web for me?
Something else IÆve often pondered is whether or not a passively tanked Phoenix is a realistic proposition?
Small gang? No.
A dread has horrible dps out of siege (except moros). A bs is usually a better bet.
In seige a dread couldn't hit a moving planet. You don't just need a point. You need target painters, and webs, webs, webs, webs, webs, and more webs. Your target needs the sig rad of a cap ship and to be not moving at all. It is all around a bad idea.
A passive tanked dread might work for ratting but the active tank is far superior.

How does a unsieged Dreadnaught compare vs. a T2-fit Battleship on stationary targets like another Dreadnaught in siege mode?
The t2-fit bs will win except for a fully skilled moros with fully skilled drones. An unsieged dread is mostly worthless except as a decoy/bait. The bs will be more useful, cheapier, and easier to skill for.
A dread only does its thing in siege mode against a massive target that cannot move.

does moros' drones do their normal, full damage when in siege mode?
Full bonus dmg in and out of siege.
