So this new mastery trait, on using any command ability or Aux2SIF, buffs the hull, regen, speed, and turn rate for all nearby allies, including hangar pets/fighters.
How do you guys think this stacks up to the scramble fighters trait for a carrier build? Scramble is relatively expensive and only buffs/ heals your pets, while this new trait also applies to allies and can be used every 15 seconds with aux2sif.
Im running a t'laru kelvin timeline Intel carrier warbird on my romulan, with elite scorpions and the hive defenses and wing commander traits, and have been wanting the scramble fighters trait for a while now, but its just too expensive- usually over 100 mil EC on pc exchange.
Thinking this trait might be a good substitute.

Since the ship itself is pretty crappy from layout ect... my guess is that would be one of the very few selling points. Why else would one buy the ship unless somebody likes the design.
So I dunno.. sounds like its a nice little buff but really hard to call it a sub since it's not helping what scramble fighters does. Guess it all depends on how much regen they get from it
So activating Aux to Structural (which you can easily have 100% uptime on) grants the following bonuses to team and pets
+hull capacity (borderline useless)
+hull regen (potentially useful)
+boff CD speed (potentially useful)
+flight speed
+turn rate
The actual stats are not listed so we don't know if the bonuses are +0.01% boost or 100% boost. So until then, we can't say for sure. Considering it's a c-store ship, there will probably be limitations that make the trait meh at best. Either low boost percentages or timer lockouts that prevent the trait from benefiting us all the time. Again, difficult to say until we can see it's stats and then see the actual performance results from in-game testing.
Same here.
It probably won't be quite as good, but you can get it from a C-Store ship so it's a much cheaper alternative. Scramble Fighters is absolutely one of the most over rated, over priced things on the exchange. Scramble Fighters costs more then some Lobi Ships.
Speed could be a deal maker if it's high enough. Most hangars aren't fast enough when zipping between areas and usually lag behind a fair bit, and I can't help but think that faster turnrate on top would actually get them to align forward weapons now and then compared to virtually never that hangar ships do currently. Usually one out of my four Jem'Hadar Bug Pets is actually laying into an enemy with their duals, so at least some of the AI can actually handle cannons if they have the speed and turnrate (which I think they have near the player versions stats).
Though, rather than make yet another starship trait compete for your limited five slots, I'd much prefer they just buff most of the pets. The Jem'Hadar Vanguard frigates have that neat speed boost thing that helps them keep up (and sometimes over-take) with the carrier, which would make most of the problems with being left behind go away if back-ported to the rest of the hangar pets.
