Why six advanced swarmers?

I appreciate the hidden bonus reward for the featured episode, but... why six of them when we can only use two? And I understand that Cryptic wants us to fly and enjoy the Obelisk, but limiting the swarmers to that ship is just awful. Especially when the 360 antiproton array and Obelisk warp core can be used on any ship. I want swarmers on my other carriers, dammit.

Second. No, no and no. In general, items, consoles and so on are mostly able to be equipped on all ships. Where others/some are locked for specific reasons.
Why are you not asking for the Tholian and Jem'Hadar pets being enabled as well? Complain about it the right way.
''I want'', are used with little care to what repercussions that would follow. If they gave everything away, you wouldn't have a game to play.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
But if you try sometimes you just might find you get what need.
You make a very good point! Why can't we have Dominion or Tholian or Caitian fighters available to all carriers? Ships aren't locked out of energy damage types or console sets. I don't need a Recluse or Orb Weaver to use the Tholian space sets, nor do I need a Warbird to use the Romulan or Reman space sets. So why should fighter types be locked to ship types?
And secondly, after the event is over, the only way to get an Obelisk will be via lobi store or exchange or fleet spire for far more energy credits than most players have. So those swarmer rewards become worthless after November 5th to anyone not in a sufficiently advanced fleet who didn't get to participate in the event and who doesn't have piles of credits or $50 to throw away on Zen. And players shouldn't have to pay real cash for lobi or fleet ship modules (or grind EC until their ears bleed) for a ship just to use the hangar pets they were given for running a mission. So we'll end up with a mission reward that will be unusable for many players. That's stupid.
If anything, the elite swarmers from the spire should be Obelisk-only in order to preserve their uniqueness, and the advanced versions from the mission reward should be the ones available to all carriers.
And for that I am happy, Cause those damn Advanced Obelisk Swarmers do not last that long in battle.
When I launch them, 3 of them will be destroyed within seconds or a few minutes.
Maybe its just me, it is my first time commanding swarmers.
But in the end, The new Obelisk ship with the Advanced swarmers are AMAZING.!.

I order you to lower your shields and weapons or ill be forced to fire upon you!!!"
the best example for that is the
siphon drones ( pre nerfed versions )
and current one it elite interceptors
that are completely a break pvp kind of pet .
all pets should be ship unique and if u want them u go work for the ship they are attached to .
everytime others get something intended for just one ship in this game it leads to OP combos which people tend to use very very fast in pvp

Makes sense.
I must be missing something.
How do I get the Adv Swarmers from the FE?
Everyone EXCEPT the very last one (the console where you reset the gateway network)
In short, you should activate the 6 main consoles and 4 side consoles. As soon as you go through the red pathway and activated the last console, go back to one of the other dead end consoles.
If you activate the reset console, you cannot access them until the next play through.
you can get more swarmers out in 15 second ticks. so really you are not likely to run out of extra dps fodder any time soon.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Yes it's a very nice song
2 for FE Obelisk, 2 for Lobi Obelisk, 2 for future fleet version (:p) and perhaps some can be exchanged in the future Voth reputation for Elite Swarmers.
You will be able to have swarmers for your other ships once your fleet unlocks them in the Spire Holding.
When i doubt, follow the money :P
The price for the advanced version of the Carrier is starting to fall in line with likes of the Recluse and the Jem Dread.
I picked up one for my Federation Engineer for 80 million EC and then kicked myself in the backside when not more than an hour later they were going for 75 million.
I'm curious has to what the fleet version of the carrier will offer over the advanced version.
Oh well at the very least I now know where to find all the advanced swarmer that I'll need.
Doctor #11: "You never sent me where I wanted to go."
Idris/TARDIS: "No. I always sent you where you needed to go."
Lol. I don't really care for the Stones either...think you missed that.
Medication needs adjustment perhaps? I don't even know why I'm bothering, but just in case I prevent someone from snapping over nothing. OK, here we go:
In post #4 you wrote: "we don't always get what we want"
followed by member twg042370 quoting you and responding with: "But if you try sometimes you just might find you get what need."
Both your line and twg042370's line are direct quotes from a Rolling Stones song. It appeared to me that you had missed this clear homage to a well known song because perhaps you are not a fan of the Rolling Stones, neither am I. I however did catch the reference, that's all.
How that led to you getting all freaked out and panties twisted is beyond comprehension. But there's the explanation so you can chill and resume your normal routine.
And please, for the love of God, take the cat OUT of the microwave.

AFAIK, the Fleet version is what the FE version is.....currently its free as the FE, but once its done the only way to get it is the exchange, lobi, or the fleet spire
