    Imo Elite Scorpions are more suited for feds whom do not have the luxury of owning frigates on their carriers (unless you own the Recluse or JHDC+JHAS). The Karfi carrier enables you to purchase the Ferjai Frigate which survives a lot better than Scorpions. This is an essential punt consider the duration for your carrier pets to gain rank. My scorpions usually die before they hit 3-4 stars. If the Ferjai frigates ever got damaged badly, they'll make sure that the enemy suffers as well, with their kamikaze strikes. The advanced frigates are competent for the job, whilst being cheaper and more accessible then T5 Elite Scorpions.

    Very good indeed. It's just that others are 'better'. But the Birds are a solid and viable choice. You may only use them on the Vo'Quv(Normal or Mirror), though.

    My personal opinion about kdf pets, best ones are 1. interceptors(or jhas pets if you happen to be using JHDC, or mesh weavers for recluse if you dont want shield repair drones) 2. scorpions(if you dont have interceptors or want pets that can do dps) 3. slavers(if you want the loot in PvE) 4. marauders(for trolling)/tachyon drones(for trolling)/shield repairs/siphons for optional situational use 5. ferjais(low dps and out of control, only reason to use would be stuns and aceton beam), bops(low dps aswell, use if you rly want to use them), the rammer pets(which I havent tested yet, the advanced ones seem crappy) 6. anything else I didn't list I wouldnt use in any case anyways, throw those todujs to scrabjard

    I read the bops were very good and my mate used them said good dps, do slavers do dps or they just for loot? Iz there a cap on the loot u can get with them? I thought ferjais were meant to be good

    not true. all frigates in fact suck badly dps wise. they just don't align properly to use forward weaponry, so the mainly dpsing with their single rear turret.

    for both. their beams hitting always because they got 360 arcs and mines they spam doing viable damage, although bit chaotic.
    loot got nerved somehow, still its just a boon.

    they suck even more. trcobalt torps rarely get high yeld skill, may be once in 3-4 minutes, tricobal mines likely don't exist at all. and the same issue with aligning forward cannons.
    they end up doing most dps with rear turret, acetone beams and chronitron torps.

    Which is true for any cannon pets, including the scorp. Highest dps from scorp comes from their torps, and (wait for it)... the warp core breach. I'm not kidding, parser show the warp core breach usually makes more DPS than the cannons.

    The Bop are good pet, even dumb as they are. Also, since the IA patch, they makes more "run", usually cloacking in the beginning of it, and that make some damage.

    The "best" pet ATM would be a frigate with beams. The closest one I can think of is the romulan drone, but the BFAW pull a lot of unwanted aggro, which is transfered to the pet owner (IE you) once the drone is dead.
