Does the attack ship work with the Jemhadar Heavy Escort Carrier?

i'm thinking of getting an attack ship for the pets, but the blog only mentions the bonus applying to the dreadnought carrier. I want to use it with the heavy escort carrier - will that work?

No. It only works with the JH Dreadnought Carrier as it is 'technically' big enough to house them.

I've always wondered why the Heavy Escort Carrier couldn't use the attack ship pets... 6 fighters takes the same amount of room as 2 frigates right?

I'd expect that a single frigate would take up as much space as a squadron of fighters, so only a dedicated carrier ship could even be considered big enough to house them. It's why the Federation doesn't have any carriers that house a frigate class starship, while the Klingons do. The Vo'Quv is a huge ship, as big as a dreadnaught, and the closest thing the Federation has is the Atrox, which only houses fighters.

Not necessarily. JHAS are frigates that have 50 crew. JH fighters are most likely single seat fighters about the size of a shuttle.

Can't really tell in the game because of it's constant sizing issues.

cryptic made the ship to be the best dsp as for show they where just as good as the Miranda class after sisko and the crew found away to adapt to the JH weapons
