carrier pets

Okay, most everything I've read about carrier pets say that cannons are inferior to beams for pets.

However, I've also noted that almost everyone recommends the Elite Scorpions....which are cannon pets.

This seems like a contradiction. What is the advantage of the scorpions that put it over say... swarmers, which are beam?

    The main reason that people go for the elite scorpions is because they can use high yield. They shoot heavy plasma torps all over the place.

    Frigates are the best pets although not all carriers have them. The Scorpions do a lot of damage but die constantly and need management.

    I agree. The Frigates are worth the investment since carrier pets are attracted to explosions of NPC ships.:mad:

    My Advanced Delta flyers and my Advanced Voth Heavy Fighters can survive "the boom". At best I only loose one pet. But all of my fighter pets flock towards "the boom", even after they've reached 5 stars. It's obvious Cryptic can't fix this problem so they leave it as is.

    But if my Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier came with the Jem'Hadar Attack ship pet like every other Frigate/Carrier combo does in the game :mad:, I would gladly tell you how a frigate stacks up when compared to a "shuttle" class pet (like my Advanced Delta Flyers or Advanced Voth Heavy Fighters).
    One day Cryptic will be free from their Perfect World overlord. Until that day comes, they will continue to pamper the whales of this game, and ignore everyone that isn't a whale.
