    On this link it says you can equip it on carriers, escort carriers and flight-deck cruisers.

    The mission rewards ones are obelisk only, the spire ones are any carrier.

    Yeah the swarmers from the fleet spire are for all carries/flight deck cruisers, the swarmers available from sphere of influence are for the obilesk only.

    They are moral superiority fighters since you don't need a planet-sized graveyard for pilots. And I don't regret replacing my ultra-rare scorpions with rare swarmers. Beam Overload is IMHO nicer than heavy plasma torpedoes and great fun if you store your swarmers in the hangar and then let them jump all at once at an enemy.

    They're great all-around pets. Less kinetic damage than Elite Scorpions, but much more energy damage and they still have a decent torpedo.

    Plus, yes, they're little killbots

    Used them when the Obi came out, they die fast like all fighters, but their beam overloads were killer when they all did it at once at one target! :eek:

    I might have to dust off my Obelisk every once in a while and cut loose with my Advanced Swarmers.

    also they seem to benefit from doffs that improve BO. :D I've seen mine smash a Terran Miranda in seconds by ganing up on it.

    I hate how these have restrictions on them for certain ships even though they are an allien technology. Doesn't make any kind of sense.
