The Torus Dreadnought is the dreadnought of the Spectre faction, with the ability to launch a field that directly strips away enemy health.

Like other Tier 9 Spectre ships, the Torus Dreadnought can recharge its shields even after being fully depleted. And when upgraded, you can turn it into a Sector Flagship by adding a jump drive to it.

Strategy and Setup[ | ]

Advantages[ | ]

The Torus Dreadnought, like other dreadnoughts, has a massive health and defense pool. When combined with its Spectre Operations ability, it can tank for a very long time even against hordes of enemies. Apart from the standard resistances to Alien Damage, Plasma Damage and Blight Damage, it also has resistance to the common damage types (Energy, Explosive, Kinetic), though to a lesser extent.

It has 6 shield slots and has innate Prime Shift Charge for both attack and defense, enabling it to reach Prime Shift Active very quickly. Apart from gaining standard damage and speed bonuses, it can also fire the Irradiation Field which can take out groups of lightly-armored enemies in a pinch.

Like the Orator Dreadnought, it has spawner slots so it could launch spawned ships to distract the enemy ship while it does its job.

Thanks to its built-in bonus to weapon speed, its shots are less prone to missing at long ranges, which has been a problem for the Tier 8 dreadnoughts. When upgraded to Elite status, it gains even more maximum mass than the previous dreadnoughts, almost completely filling up Fleet Bay XVI.

The ship has a 25% innate damage bonus against all Altairian, Umbra and Pharmakon ships.

Disadvantages[ | ]

The Irradiation Field is next to useless in realistic PvP scenarios because player fleets within the PvP Gating of a Torus Dreadnought fleet are also dreadnought fleets. As these fleets only contain a small number of battle-ready ships, the Irradiation Field loses its area denial potential, not to mention that dreadnoughts have a large enough health pool and stasis resistance to shrug off its effects.

Although it has spawner slots, it lacks hangar slots to field Spectre squadrons such as the Inferno Squadron to consistently apply debuffs to enemies.
