Unless you are a true pet master that only do PvE, you may as well as paint a "hit me" on its side. I still can't get my frigate on My Kar'fi to kill a NPC mogai without my help. It's perfecly balance against a T5 ship, though.
Far as the miranda class? WTF do you need a carrier for. 200 people per ship and it has a long endurance time so it doesn't NEED a carrier.
Plus size constrants, you couldn't realistically carry more than 4 on something the size of an atrox. Only reason the Vo'Quv gets away with launching ships like that is how small the B'Rel really is. i mean it's TINY. A Miranda dwarfs the ship in reality.
I mean if you wanted a proper frigate style ship, it would have to be something of the NX-Class or smaller. And the Aquarius might actually be too big.
Probably the best ship for this, would be something around the size of a Marquis Raider ship. Up gun it a bit and bam there ya go.
True, True. But then again we are talking Cryptic logic towards Star Trek.
And we are talking about Frigate pets and the Miranda is regarded as a Frigate in STO, so if you put two and two together...... you know. So the only logical course (as far as STO) is making 2410 Federation Frigate pets is that they would be like the Aquarius, and be treated like Mini-Defiants.
BTW, the B'rel is about the same size as the Miranda. Only short about 50 meters.
It's my understanding that the reason why the Federation ended up with the Atrox is because CBS said no to Starfleet carriers. If this has changed great, count me in, if not what are we talking about?
And good Lord, why is it every time someone mentions the word carrier or battleship someone else has to bring up that ugly a... Jupiter? Could we please put that giant flying bathtub to rest?:rolleyes:

Wait... I have heard about that for connie, but not Starfleet carriers...
the most powerful sips u will get will more than likly be maranda class IF that... but thet carrier would have 2 be massive because of the size of the maranda class...
Maranda's would be pretty awesome actually. Also I figure they would have mostly phaser arrays and torpedo's which might actually be better then the limited arc Dual cannons the Bird of Prey pets use.

he's right, it's why they had to resort to the "Federation species with own ships lending them to starfleet" backstory. it's why all carrier based ships fed side are either 1. other speices (caitian, dominion, ect.), or 2. hybrid ships like the armitage and vesta. CBS didnt allow Starfleet designed and created 2 carrier ships.
With no fore or aft weapons, 1 Commander Tactical, and 1 Lt. Commander Tactical Bridge Officer Bridge Officer Slots.
I love the idea although I would want at least two fore and two aft weapons not going to be helpful in PVP if your engaging one with your fighters then a second guy surprises you.
