For a while now this has been bothering me,
The Kdf carrier gets a BOP as a combat pet
The Dominion Carrier Gets a Jem'hadar Bug Ship as a combat pet
so when is the Atrox gonna get a Defiant class ship as a combat pet?
and dont go telling me to go and get a dominion ship or go kdf (i have a kdf sci that has a carrier and thats how i know they have bops) us fed carriers need a big ship pet and not a puny shuttle

Why would he ask/want that? The Defiant never had either of those.
Carrier pets is something the Federation has been lacking for a long time now. I'd love to see some heavier frigate type pets, even if they can only be used on the larger carriers like the Atrox, Recluse, or Dreadnought. My hope is the next three pack will be a federation carrier and we'll get some more pet choices along with it.
stealth fighter is the pet
its like goes with the carrier cause its with the same species and stuff
and has like the same coloring and engines
But it's not a frigate like the BoP pets for the Vo'quv.
IF the Atrox were to get a frigate, it would/should be of Caitian design.
na thoes arent needed, i just want the defaint class for the Atrox Carrier
ok well if you put it that way, they should make another carrier that will be able to launch the defaint class
fixed that typo for you :P
Then please use some sort of logic.
Something like this - "The Caitian carrier needs some CAITIAN FRIGATEs!"
Ya see, that's using sound logic when you're comparing the Atrox to the Kar'fi and Vo'quv.
Now try it with me one time...
"The Caitian carrier needs some CAITIAN FRIGATEs!"
but i dont want it to have a cat frigate, it needs the defiant class
+1 for Caitian frigates. That sounds like a neat idea that I could totally support.

Formerly known on the forums as Remissus
a giant fed carrier that looks like deep space nine
and it has defiant pets
"The Caitian carrier needs some CAITIAN FRIGATEs!" :P
bahahahahhahahaha
system Lord Baal is dead
ok ok, make it have quad cannons and also the players can use it as well (player controlled ship) as the defiant and BOP are both player controlled ships
The BoP and Jem Bug are both npc frigates on the same level as the Federation's Miranda class, not the Defiant class.
NOW you're getting into the swing of things!
"The Caitian carrier needs some CAITIAN FRIGATEs!"
The Caitian stalker fighter is a player controlled ship as well.
but did u see the size of that thing? :O its so small and fragile 1 shot and it goes boom
The BoP's and JHAS pets are already pushing it, if you ask me.
While I ostensibly would like to see the much maligned Jupiter class re-imagined as a Starfleet style carrier, I would emphatically endorse the Spirit class as the signature Starfleet frigate pet, no matter what the ship.
Considering that the designer of the ship, Mark Rademaker, already managed to get his beloved Vesta class into the game, and has shown an interest in getting more of his ship designs in, it'd make a lot of sense. The Spirit is a bit smaller than a Defiant, has a decent armament, and would probably make a neat Science-oriented frigate pet (as opposed to the much more aggressive B-o-P's of the KDF).
The Caitian Atrox, while a good Federation Carrier, seems to be designed to launch small craft only, if the hangar bays along the flanks of the craft are any indication. So it really shouldn't launch something as big as a Defiant class (or Miranda's or even the Spirit).
However, a signature Starfleet carrier (which most of the Federation ships are, if you think about it) could easily be designed to launch a small frigate-type ship.
If so, I would hope the devs are keeping their eyes on some of Rademaker's other ship designs!

That is all.
The Aquarius vessel itself is available from fleet shipyards.
Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
Because we really need them wasting time on another Fed Carrier. Perhaps when the Rom's have their first carrier, i'll start supporting something like this.
Of course, I agree with everyone else here - Frigate pets yes, but not the Defiant.
I'll bet you 12 quatloos they already HAVE the first Romulan carrier mostly ready, if not ready, and are simply holding it because you never release EVERYTHING at once; you save some things for future promotion.
Typically F2P games cycle promotional additions at 30-45 days, depending on your churn rates, to maximize player return.
You're probably right. Still, the whole "keep them in the dark" method bugs me. For the most part, the community has some idea of what's coming. The continued non-commital responses that turn up in Ask Cryptic's or Interviews go a long way to the feeling that Cryptic is flying by the seat of it's pants in terms of content development and release timescales.
Of course, given the state of some things in LoR (Romulan Boffs, or the general lack thereof, for example), this could be an accurate depiction.
You know, so we have some actual fair trade. KDF have never really been compensated for the loss of the faction's carrier edge, imo, so a few good science ships could be thrown in as well.
