    They have to keep replacing destroyed fighters and even if that's all they do that requires participation.

    fighters don't even get destroyed on maps like fleet alert LMAO

    also LMAO @ calling "replacing fighters" "participation"

    How about a little basic courtesy dude? You gave no info at all in your post, and when someone asks for details you are downright rude to them.

    I kinda hope your problem (whatever it actually is) doesn't get sorted.
    It's not my fault if you feel trolled by my Disco ball... Sorry'boutit.

    No they can't. I've seen 2 so far that tried pet afking (sending pets in to fight while they afk) get 0 loot.
    Said NO to Arc. Gets punished by not being given a free outfit, free lobi, and free shuttle. Now forced to use Arc's site when trying to get to STO site. Still not rewards for beta testing the Arc website by force. Bravo Cryptic.

    So basically the OP has no clue what he is talking about?

    Despite some people not liking the OP's attitude its fairly obvious something like this would work and can be a problem.

    Carrier pets can do dps, but it requires participation of the carrier, doing debuffs, relaunching pets, fire support.Even with 2 tac consoles and 6 weapons it still is a fair chunk of the damage, especially since your debuff procs like from leech or apb aren't helping, you aren't clearing enemy pet spam that can kill your pets and not relaunching, and aren't grabbing aggro from your pets and team.

    Use your brain: if you have to stay present to launch fighters, then you can't AFK. The whole point of AFK-ing is, you know, to be Away From Keyboard. :P If you have to stay behind your keyboard to send off pets, the whole idea of you AFK-ing has been thwarted!

    So, LMAO @ you not understanding 'participation' in the above scenario.

    seeing as it only takes button presses to launch pets and no cursor movement, it can be very easy to AFK and relaunch pets through use of a macro or special keyboard.

    Regardless of that, someone only launching pets and not helping at all with their ship is still a useless leech.

    My scimitars elite romulan drones do over 4000 DPS in a parse sometimes.

    That is higher than many pug players ive been with.

    If I sat and just launched those, have I not done more than they did?

    1. I never said it was ok for people to afk, in fact i absolutely detest it.

    2. Carrier pets are the primary way a carrier does damage. They are most certainly not doing so with their weapons. (the scimitar is a gross exception to this, that same 4000 DPS my pets may do, is dwarfed by the 20k DPS the ship may do, most other carriers are science based and dont have the options the scim does)

    3. Ad hominem about my personal wealth does not an argument make. Elite drone ships are not cheap by any means, but then again they cost about as much as the mk 12 borg set out of rep.

    4. There is one instance where I will not move and will gladly accept any complaining anyone makes because in the end I was right and they were wrong. Elachi alert is best done by capping and not even bothering to shoot anything. By the time the science teams reach the point, youre already at 80 percent or more if everyone just caps with maybe 1 person defending them so they dont die and cost a mark at the end. But here I am just spamming F the whole time... am I really afking it?

    So you were saying?

    I'm sorry but I can't see anyone putting that much effort into being lazy.

    I can understand afking, you enter a game and go do other things while other people earn your marks but I can't understand why anyone would sit there launch fighters every now and then and point them at enemies. It would be a lot quicker to just do the mission as intended.

    Maybe I'm just underestimating the capacity of laziness of some people lol.

    Or engineering heavy carrier like the new Obelisk, which well, dosnt have a lot of sci abilities to throw around, amost no tac, and massive amounts of engineering that isn't really needed in most cases. in most cases their better off spamming EMPW 2-3 with the set bonus in if they have the lobi store Obe, and buffing the swarmer's damage even more.
