Elite Type 10 shuttles...

I was wondering if anyone has really tried them? Does the Micro Photon Torpedo help them compete with the damage Runabouts can do?

    As far as I know the shuttles of any kind are TRIBBLE even the fleet ones.

    I really wouldn't say that; the runabouts wreck havoc with enemy ships, not only with TB but also with Chroniton torpedoes. Maybe their damage isn't too good by themselves, but they certainly set up good damage from the player controlling them.

    But as far as the OP's question, the Micro-Photon definitely helps the Shuttle 10's damage output :) Don't know the exact numbers, but it does help, I think.
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Runabouts are awesome.

    Runabouts are not Shuttles.
    I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. :confused:
    If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
    When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.

    I'll play the devil's advocate here. Shuttles are the only hangar pets that I have ever gotten to rank 5 consistently.

    At R5, they outdps anything not at R4 and above.

    The Type-10 shuttles are junk, don't even look at them. The Yellowstones, however, are delicious. Use those.

    The Type-10s are apparently actually terrific interceptor pets and will win a dogfight against practically all other pets, as their phaser beams will never go off target. However, they are pretty much useless in every other role, and "pets that just kill other pets" is really niche.

    Love my Advanced Runabouts. As already said, they seem to be the only pets other than frigates, that can get to rank 5 before going boom boom. :D
