Preferred Hanger Pet

[Dragonmage]

Hi all, i’m really enjoying running escort carriers at the moment, and thought i’d ask what peoples preferred hanger pet is.

 

i’ve currently got the Elite Tholian Widow fighter equiped, but have also used the Elite romulan scorpians.

 

i’m considering frigates but was wondering if they are a effective?

I run the Tzen-Tar so it came with Shuk-din Frigates.  So far, they work really well and don’t die as often as the Hu’rq swarmers I have on the Vedcrid. Seem to do a fair bit of damage too.

If you can get frigates, go for Frigs as they are more durable. But ofcourse quantity has a quality of its own – having 12x Elite Scorpions buzzing around is delicious…

Unfortunately unlike KDF and for Romulans, for Federation captains there aren’t many fighters or frigates that really stand out – the only true Fed ones that I’ll use are Yellowstone runabouts because of their tractor beam and warp plasma. The Callisto frigates are another but those are unique to the Jupiter carrier. So for Feds I generally use Elite Scorpions or just Elite Peregrines if I want to stay canon.

My main Fed Sci toon flies Tholian ships and that means Elite Mesh weavers.

For Romulans obviously the Scorps but whenever I can the Elite drone ships – those are wrecking balls.

For my KDFs and KDF Roms the Elite Orion Interceptors are my go-to fighter pets – they too have a disable/grab ability to tie down your target.

I expect the Scorpions are much like the Hur’q swarmers.   live fast, die young.

I get about 20k dps on my J with 12 Fleet Elite Swarmers. Wonderful pets. I do have. Both launch buttons on my spacebar macro, so there is no downtime with em.

Yep same here.. Still trying to figure out if I like the Ytijara or Tzen-tar best.

I have fond memories of the Kar’fi’s hellish little fighters… can’t remember the name.  It was fun to see all the fire trails.  These days, I’d have to say the Romulan drones or To’Duj fighters.
