B'rel hanger pets are frigate class. All frigate class pets are bound to their original carrier and cannot be used on other carriers.
It's stupid, like fighters being locked to certain carriers or ships by a specific race, but it's just how it is.

As a side note, Elite B'rel frigate pets are actually called Qaw'Dun BoPs

As for the best KDF hanger pet, I reckon the Durgath Temporal Heavy Dreadnought Battlecruiser now offers the best frigate in the KDF fleet in the form of the baSro' Frigate

Firing arcs alone on these pets make them better

But yes, hanger pet lock-in is a stupid idea that arbitrarily curbs ship build freedom.

Shouldn't matter really. They could even handle them like some special consoles for alien ships like elachi escort and the support craft, they just warp in, don't "launch" from the actual ship.

Prime example of them not caring about pet to carrier size = Sphere Builder Edoulg launching Arehbes Frigates. Pets almost the same size as the Edoulg.

Though the Arehbes also warp in, at least the last time I flew the ships. Of course, that doesn't really make them "Carriers", unless they have some (trans)warp portal tech on the "Carrier".

We have the Breen Sarr Theln carrier that can launch Plesh Brek Frigates. The Plesh Breks are as large as the Sarr Theln itself and it can launch 2 at a time for 4 total. It's like watching a mouse give birth to a pair of adult elephants.
