The Orator Dreadnought is the Altairian Dreadnought, and the first ever playable hull to have its own armada of ships similar to the Altairian Mothership.

Strategy and Setup[ | ]

Advantages[ | ]

The Orator Dreadnought is the apex of Altairian technology, with enough firepower to take on entire fleets by itself.

Its high speed, like the other dreadnoughts, allows it to catch up with any fleeing vessels and quickly decimate them. It also has a greater turning speed than the other dreadnoughts in order to prevent Pharmakon ships from staying in its blind spot.

In addition, it is the first hull to have spawner slots, allowing it to warp in small ships known as Zealots, similar to Altairian Corvettes to either defend itself or assault the opponent from afar.

Its overdrives allow it to gain bonuses to its spawned Zealots and itself whenever either takes damage, further enhancing its survivability and firepower.

It also possesses Counter Chain and Counter Pierce, as well as the characteristic Alien and Plasma resistance found on other Altairian Hulls.

The Orator's Zealots allow it a far greater versatility than the other Tier 7 Dreadnoughts, as they can respawn almost immediately after being destroyed and deviate most of the damage that would afflict the Orator if it fought head-on like the Behemoth and the Segfault. Because of this, the Orator can punch far above its weight, allowing it to fight Tier 8 fleets and even some of the weaker Tier 9 fleets with minimal damage.

Disadvantages[ | ]

Don't expect to have many ships escorting the Orator Dreadnought in the same fleet. The ship takes up over half of Fleet Bay XVI's mass by itself.

The Orator is still vulnerable to Blight damage and shield bypass utilized by most Umbra ships, and will easily fall to them.

Its Zealots are very inviting targets for triggering the Umbra Overdrives such as Culling and Bloodlust, making Umbra Hulls even stronger when fighting it.

Trivia[ | ]

The Orator is the first ever playable hull to be able to spawn ships.
The Orator's stats were inadvertently released in the late June 2019 update through unlocked crafting recipes when logging in through the mobile version. While this was quickly discovered and fixed, players who have already unlocked the recipe can continue viewing the ship's stats. When the ship was officially released in the late July 2019 update, its stats and overdrives received massive buffs.
Although the Orator's stat block suggests that the "Boost Defense Resistance" modifiers only apply to Altairian Shells, they actually affect all shields.
All player ships had their Resurgence values modified as a result of the late February 2020 update.
The repair time of all Tier 7 ships was made to be invariant to equipment in the ??? update.
