Romulan hangar pets

Well, Rommies kinda need hangar pets.
I suggest:
Sensor probes. Deal low damage, but can avoid most attacks and debuffs like crazy
Kestrel runabout: deals medium DPS, but is a good crowd controller
T'varo: deals high DPS, but is slower than other pets.
Tiercel shuttle: medium DPS and shield bypass
So, what other pets do you want?
Yes, I realise that RR probably needs more Carriers, but this isn't the thread for that.
NOW DISCUSS!!!

Before i buy an Arkif down the line, it would be good to know.
On KDF, i have the standard Voquv lineup plus Orion Interceptors from the Dacoit. If i could slot at least the Interceptors, if not the Brolth BoPs, then it would be all good. If just the Scorpions? Boring.

That excludes ships like the caitian stalker for example, which you can only unlock with a caitian carrier, and since you can't get that as romulan you can't get the pets.
IMO thats kind of an issue on KDF side, since the only "medium" size pet (I know of) is the flight deck carriers marauding force which you can't get as rom.
Feds have Runabout and Delta flyer generally available in that niche, but as KDF allied we only get small shuttles (that are IMO worthless in STFs since they do not survive for 1 minutes) or the "big" drones on the Scimitar only.

Never happen till they invent a Romulan carrier in which case you'll have to buy the complete 5000 zen romulan carrier set to get the complete hanger pet collection.:P
If I cant run Orion Slavers, that is okay. I would miss my interceptors, though
I generally slot Deltas and Yellowstones or Peregrines on my cat carrier.

The Bird of Preys are tied to the Vo'quv anyway, you can't use them with other KDF carriers either .
The orion slavers and interceptors work of you are KDF allied.
Yellowstone and Peregrine work if you are Fed allied.
So, Devs, would it possible to get something like these:
Tiercel Shuttle / Advanced Tiercel Shuttle / Elite Tiercel Shuttle
Role: General Purpose DPS / Shield Bypass / DoTs
Weapons: Plasma Beam, Plasma Torpedo / Plasma Beam, Plasma Torpedo, Single Plasma Mine (like the slavers' mine launcher) / Plasma Beam, Plasma Torpedo, Plasma Mine
Abilites: none / none / Plasma Wave
Kestrel Runabout / Advanced Kestrel Runabout / Elite Kestrel Runabout
Role: General Purpose DPS / Crowd Control
Weapons: Plasma Beam, Plasma Torpedo / Plasma Beam, Plasma Torpedo / Plasma Beam, Plasma Torpedo
Abilities: Target Subsystem: Engines I / Target Subsystem: Engines II / Target Subsystem: Engines III, Singularity Jump
Would give the Romulans factional equivalents to Slavers, Runabouts, Interceptors, Type 8/10 Shuttles without just being copies of them.
Ok, added your suggestions.
Anyway, try to stay on topic guys, Lets get the devs listening!
(Yes I know they probably won't)
If anyone needs carrier pet love, it's the feds. All of ours suck, we have to use yours. We're also the only faction flying fighters from the dominion war. Our carrier pets pre-date every other faction in the game.
Incorrect. The only hangar unit strictly for RRW is the Scimitar's.
The Scorpion Fighters are not RRW-specific, as anyone with enough Rom Rep can acquire them, Fed, KDF, whatever.
And it's very, very subjective to call the Scorpions "the best in the game by an insane margin" because I actually don't think highly of them. If there's any AOE attack going anywhere, or even a Grav Well / Tykien's Rift / Aceton Assimilator / Aceton Probe within the same galaxy, all those pretty HYT Plasmas people gush over are *POOF* gone. Then what you're left are hangar pets that dont' do anything else special, not even survive. The only time they really shine are against stationary objects, but then again, anything will work well on them.
The Feds hangar units don't predate anyone's at all. Quite the contrary. The KDF has the oldest: The B'Rel BOPs for the Vo'Quv :cool:
Technically I believe the drone ships are the oldest since they're a 22nd century design.:eek: Granted they've probably be updated since then but still that's one old ship design.:P
The thing is, they're a Romulan design, and like too many other Romulan things in this game, the sheer number things that should be their contemporaries that they blatantly obsolete is ridiculous. Jh fighters, Peregrines, Shuttles, Todujs, Skuls, widows....
Unless you're a specialty build that needs yellowstones or interceptors, have frigates or want slavers, there's no reason not to slot scorpions. They're just plain incomparable to other factions' fighters. Parse an elite peregrine wing vs an elite scorpion wing sometime. A buddy and I got bored and did some pvp carrier duels where we would only send out fighters to fight, and the scorpions knocked every other pet I sent up out of the sky, without fail or even really exertion. Peregrines in particular are completely obsolete in the face of scorpions.
Every fighter pet goes down to AoE, that's hardly scorpion specific. The fighters still outclass every other fighter in the game, and you still have frigates after only a year of existence, which the feds are still waiting on, before even mentioning how awesome the frigates are. They might seriously be the most useful carrier pet in game.
Feds need carrier pet updates just to be competitive. All we have that's worth a slot is yellowstones. Roms just WANT more carrier pets because they're bored of having only 2 facerolling kinds. In the ideal grand scheme of things, there's a prioritized order, and Roms should be at the back of the line when it comes to carrier pet attention.
And I knew I was forgetting the brel, and didn't think about the drone ship, so you're technically right there. Still, the Elite BoPs aren't Brels, they're new models. That was less about frigates and more about fighters though. We're saying whose frigates are older and feds don't even have them.
Fighterwise, federation fighters and shuttles are years older than those of the other two factions. Maybe decades. Not sure how much time passes between the first on-screen peregrine and nemesis.
