Ships & Fleets
Every race in Orbitarion fields a unique fleet of warships. Same six ship classes across the board — Fighter, Corvette, Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser, Battleship — but each race builds them differently. Different stats, different targeting, different roles on the battlefield.
This page is your complete reference for all Generation 1 ships currently in the game.
Ship classes
| Class | Code | Role | Build time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fighter | Fi | Fast, cheap swarm units. First to die, first to overwhelm. | 3–4 ticks |
| Corvette | Co | Counter-fighters. Fast and flexible. | 5–6 ticks |
| Frigate | Fr | First heavy attacker. Orbital Pods are frigates. | 8–10 ticks |
| Destroyer | De | Mid-game workhorse. Strong all-round. | 10–12 ticks |
| Cruiser | Cr | Heavy fleet core. Serious firepower. | 14–16 ticks |
| Battleship | Bs | End-game dominance. Extremely powerful, extremely expensive. | 18–20 ticks |
Each class must be unlocked through the Shipyard research branch before you can build it. See Research for the full unlock chain.
Reading the stats
| Stat | What it means |
|---|---|
| DPS | Guns × Damage. Raw damage output before hit chance is applied. |
| Armor | Hit points per ship. Higher = harder to kill. |
| Initiative | Firing order. Lower = fires first. ATH ships fire before everyone else. |
| Agility | Evasion. Higher = harder to hit. |
| Weapon Speed | Accuracy. Higher = better chance to hit. |
| EMP Resistance | Percentage reduction to incoming EMP freeze. |
| Cloaked | Invisible to enemy scanners until combat begins. |
| T1 / T2 / T3 | Target priorities per combat round. |
