Tier 5 Science Hangar Items: Any ideas?

edited March 2013 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
So by now, we've got the Elite Scorpion Fighters from the T5 Romulan Reputation and they're quite impressive. This makes me really want to know; What special fighters will fleets get when they finish their T5 Comm Array? I personally have high hopes for their abilities. Anyone have an idea of what to expect?

    I don't know, but my KDF Sci wants Elite Orion Slavers that steal other ships weapons (disabling their attacks in the process) :D
    Please join our peaceful protest to help make STO a better game

    I'd like Elite Orion Slavers that can steal Duty Officers from enemy ships either has prisoners or converts or maybe some Dilithium Ore.

    Personally, this is what I think the elite fighters on the FED side should have (Not including fighters exclusive to a specific carrier):

    - Elite Peregrine Fighters should gain Cannon Rapid Fire 1

    - Type 10 Shuttles should gain Beam Fire At Will 1

    - Danube Runabouts should gain Torpedo Spread 1

    - Delta Flyers should gain Beam Overload 1

    - Shield Repair Units should gain Mask Energy Signature (So they can be less easily shot when healing)

    For the KDF Side:

    - To'Duj Fighters should get Cannon Rapid Fire 1

    - Shield Repair Shuttles should get Mask Energy Signature 1

    - Power Siphon Drones should gain Emergency Power to Shields 1

    - S'kul Fighters should gain Cannon Scatter Volley 1

    - Advanced Orion Slavers should gain additional quantum mines per launch. (2 Mines launched instead of 1)

    - Orion Interceptors should gain Torpedo Spread 1

    - Tachyon Drones should gain a very weak Tachyon Inversion Beam

    - Marauding Force Shuttles should gain Emergency Power to Shields 1

    Here's hoping that the Elite Fighters match the awesomeness of the Elite Scorpion Fighters.

    Elite Delta Flyers should get Target Subsystem: Shields and Elite Runabouts should get Target Subsystem: Engines, in keeping with their general themes of shield draining and movement debuffing. I'd also give them, and the Elite Type 10s, a dual beam bank for a little more offensive punch.

    Elite Peregrines and To'dujes will get either CRF1 or HY1, probably the latter to keep them in line with the Elite Scorpions. And a turret, for the same reason. Elite Slavers should get a DBB, and should steal dilithium ore directly.

    Elite Bird-of-Preys, I'd give an attack pattern of some sort. APA1, or APO1 perhaps. Possibly also upgrade their attacks to CRF3 and HY3, though with an attack pattern, that'd probably be too much.

    I don't know but i'm eagerly waiting for this too. I hope a torp HY I for peregrines, and just a better AI for KDF bops so that they stop turning around their targets like idiots and start to use their fore weaponry. :D

    Hm and better Danubes too. Tractor beam 1 and 2! Unfortunately it's not going to happen.

    Anything yet? (I still can't believe no one has hit Tier 5 yet to let the community know what the Hanger Pet is.)
    Fell free to drop me a line for anything! @jonnyreload :biggrin:

    probably noone has reached tier 5 because it did not make much sense at the time. those who had the recources wanted tier 5 shipyards, or elite weapons (but boy, if people knew how bad they were for general purposes)

    I wish we could get these for science ships instead of any type of fighter craft as a counter to ships that do have fighter craft.

    I'm sure some fleets would be very close if the science/medical doff distribution wasn't so messed up. Small to medium fleets have no hope of reaching t5 science for.. years at this rate

    Your probably gonna see a bunch of Fleet Mergers soon if the Tier 5 stuff is really good... Even worse, when Season 8 drops, god only knows what they may add to late game Fleet Base stuff.

    I just don't understand why Cryptic wouldn't at least TELL US what the Tier 5 Hanger Pet is.

    True, I was going to wait for elite weapons instead of advanced fleet, but desided to buy the advance fleets instead when I saw they did less damage.

    There are defnitely T5 fleets out there - I've done at least two Fleet Alerts where the Starbase we were defending was T5.

    And there are definitely T5 shipyards too (although the base itself was at T4) as I purchased a Fleet Intrepid via a Fleet that has one.

    Now, whether the T5 starbases' facilities were/are T5 or not I do not know.....

    Actually it'd be impossible to not have at least one tier 5 area if they have a tier 5 SB. Now they could have like a tier 5 Shipyard and not have a tier 5 SB though.

    @3.6 million dilithium my fleet is ignoring the sb until we get everything else. Ever.
    Should I start posting again after all this time?

    Yes, I'd also like to know what the stats are and how much they'll cost. I just got the fleet heavy escort carrier and am anxious to find out if the elite hangars are worth waiting for. Will all current faction hangar pets be available w/ fleet versions, or will there only be one for each faction (ie elite fleet weapons inly being phaser for feds and disruptors for kdf)?

    What's strange is Cryptic published the stats of all the later tier ships when S6 released, even though many people wouldn't have access till months down the line. Why would the elite hangars be any different. My only thought us they're like the t3 embassy uniforms (romulan senate robes) that had a temporary placeholder until after people started actually unlocking the t3 tailor (presumably quicker than the devs had anticipated). If that's the case, they better hurry bc my fleet is close. We're about halfway to t5 engineering, then we'll be throwing everything at t5 science.

    On one hand I can see it being good for business (forcing players to buy more Zen to trade in for the vast amounts of Dilithium you need to get those higher tier Starbases.) But if it turns out to be "Oh hey guys, now you can buy the Advanced Versions of Hanger Pets from the Dilithium Store, except with Fleet Marks now!" your gonna see an epic rant on Starbases being an epic waste of time and money just so Cryptic could scam us due to our curiosity.

    I personally just want something to contend with the Elite Scorpion since it's the best Hanger Pet out there with no contest amongst the other pets. I thought the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship was suppose to be that Hangar Pet but we saw how that turned out...

    Honestly, I think at most all we will see is pretty much slight hull and shield improvements on the pets, with an extra or leveled up ability.

    Like Danubes might get BO 1 or level up their Tractor Beam, while BoPs might get HY 3 or something.
