Non frigate pets.. what's the best hangar pet for Federation?

The romulan drones are by far the best for the roms, and that have the scorpions, I have access the the UR Scorpions for the legendary Oddy, it comes with type 8, but what about the tactical fliers that are from the Discoprise? I have rare Daube runabout UR Delta flier, Rare tactical fliers UR Scorpions and Rare Peregrines.

    I'm partial to Elite Class C Shuttles. Native Beam Overload 3 and Aceton Beam 3. On a ship with 2 hanger slots, having the ability to slap 12 stacks of Aceton 3 is amusing.
    No shuttle based torps, but they do come with a beam array and Omni beam array.
    And if you have Superior Area Denial trait, should be even more fun giving them a FAW.

    I do have access to the Elite Xindi-Primate Heavy Fighters, but those are locked to Xindi ships only. Otherwise I would be using those. Quantums with Torp Spread 3 x8 is pretty entertaining.

    Tactical Flyers are very good, if you have access to those it's a really good way to go. On my captains that don't have access to Flyers or Drones, I run Elite Obelisk Swarmers, they're good DPS pets.

    If you have the Vengeance, the Kelvin Timeline Assault Drones are fantastic.

    My Discovery Constitution uses Wings based on the Damage Type Loadout.

    Anti-proton - Obelisk Swarmers
    Disruptor - Yakuwa Frigates
    Kinetic - Yakuwa Frigates
    Phaser - Tactical Flyers
    Plasma - Scorpion Fighters
    Polaron - Jem'Hadar Fighters
    Tetryon - Tholian Widows

    The deck gang is the best, being able to swap out and maintain so many disparate Wings. :)

    A bit of general advice that the TC probably already knows: Type aside, the best hangar pets are Elite pets obtainable via fleet holdings. (For anyone reading this thread who doesn't know this.)

    While this is usually true, it's not a hard rule.

    For example, the Lost Souls of Grethor from the fek'ihri farang. These are some of the best hangar pets in the game, but as you can see here the Elites seem to have a problem that makes them parse well under that of the basic pets.

    There are other pets too where the Elite Versions provide such a little increase that their value could be debated. Best to just research the exact pets you're interested in.

    That's a bit of a tough question, as some fighters/shuttle can't be used on all ships.

    Then is going to be up to what energy type your weapon are. Since you damage boosts consoles for those, along with traits and such, also boost the damage of the fighters/shuttles.

    I found the Risian ones in the Dil store are also good for Tet. I just can't remember if you can equip them on any ship.

    Risian ones??? what Risian ones??... also Yukawa... I love those pets! and of course the Drones, if you have the T'Laru (Mirror Scorpions are great, but limited to the T'Laru.. :neutral: )

    These, though unfortunately they are locked to the Vorgon ships. Wish they weren't. But, ehh...

    Ahhh!!, yes, the Vorgon pets are great, among the Xindi ones, and the Breen Frigates (i know we'r not supposed to talk about frigates, but they are really good)

    Oh believe me, I've been wanting actual Risian fighters and asmallcraft forever and a day now. My main char's background was being raised on Risa. So, the lack there of, has been a thorn in my side for while.
