How do I equip hanger pets?

shafe77

I have a lieutenant commander cruiser, and just spent $25,000 on Delta Flyers and can't seem to equip it to my ship.

You can only equip hangar pets if you ship has a slot for them, like carriers etc.

So basically I just wasted $25,000 that could of went to better weapons.

They will still be available when you get a new ship on down the road.

you can sell 1 of the Contraband commodities for 45000 and you recuperate the loss. PLus like it was said above me, when you get a ship with the slot you can put them in there.

Ya... pretty much... The tooltip tells you as much.

On the bright side, you aren't the first, and you wont be the last to fall into this little thing.

Same thing has happened to me! It's BS that they do not inform players they can't use them! Now I wasted $25,000 for nothing! If they are only for certain ships then it's STO's responsibility to add that to the information on the item, They do this scandalous TRIBBLE thinking they can get you to spend money! Well I already spent money upgrading a t5 ship and it was also a waste, ecause it performs no better than it did, And I can't even use shuttle pets. And I am never I repeat NEVER spending money on a t6 ship that should already be provided free to all level 50 players! Just so I can use shuttle pets! STO is just getting worse and worse! They have almost destroyed this game completely.

And waste $30 hard earned money for a stupid ship that should already be provided to players just to use shuttle pets? Not everyone has parents to but them free stuff. Some of us work for a living.

For $25,000, I hope they better gave you a *real* Delta Flyer. Otherwise, yeah, your ship needs to have hangar slot(s) for you to equip pets.

There, there. Do you want me to sing 'Soft Kitty' to you?! Seriously, you're obviously new to the game. No need to get too upset about this. In about two weeks, you'll laugh about it, and wonder how you could ever have made such a mistake. Because these are really n00b mistakes, no offense. Those are okay, as people tend to mess up like that, one way or the other, when they start a new game. And there be many things about Cryptic I could complain about; but buying pets for a ship with no hangars isn't one of them. Just hang(ar) in there, you'll figure it all out soon enough.

And, btw, those Delta Flyers aren't gone: ere long you'll buy a ship with hangar bays, and it'll be all good again.
