    I prefer frigate pets.

    They need to be launched less often. They are available to fewer ships though. The only ones that can be used on all ships on a Federation toon, as far as I'm aware, are the ones you unlock when buying the Damar class.

    Last I heard it summarized: If you're using Superior Area Denial trait (and possibly the Coordinated Assault with Cannons Rapid Fire), the ones with Pulse Cannons for some reason come out on top in parses compared to other cannon type weapons, and most cannon pets have those only at the lowest levels. I'm not sure it's an intentional reaction, so it might get fixed/nerfed at some point. If you're not using cannon pets or SAD/CA trait, the Elites usually come out higher due to having extra abilities most of the time.
