Romur is its the yellowstone Runabout.
I honestly use whatever I like looking at at the moment, since I consider the GX and Akira only funships anyway....

For harassers, you can't beat the Yellowstone shuttles. They have a tetryon warp plasma (eject warp plasma) and a tractor beam 3. They are armed with phaser beams and chroniton torpedoes.
The elite delta flyers are useful for depleting or getting through shields with tachyon beam 3. They have transphasic torpedoes and phaser beams.
The Elite peregrine fighters are ok, since they have quantum torpedoes.
The elite scorpions have high damage if they can stay alive, thanks to the high yield plasma torpedoes. Though those same torpedoes are targetable and can be destroyed unlike the peregrine's quantum torps.
The type 10 shuttles (which I have never used) are tougher than fighters, and you can launch up to 6 of these. Their damage is lower than other pets, but would be good for absorbing faw spam and general harassment. They would also be good for soaking up mines and high yield torpedoesI suppose.
The other Fed pets are uh...not so great.
Yes there are http://sto.gamepedia.com/Hangar_-_Elite_Peregrine_Fighters
I decided to go with Yellowstone Runabouts for my new Fleet Dreadnaught Cruiser http://sto.gamepedia.com/Hangar_-_Yellowstone_Runabouts Edit: Judging by the comments in this thread, I made the right choice.
Yellowstones (and other runabouts) do poor damage, but you don't use them for the damage. They're a "control" pet.
Elite Peregrines are better than most people give them credit for; their quantum torpedoes do consistent, moderate-high damage and their CRF strips shields pretty well.
Elite Scorpions wield a kinetic hammer against large, unshielded targets.
Elite Widows let you cheat and spread APB everywhere... until they fix that bug.
Elite Swarmers are great all-arounders.
But pets have other skills better than dps
You can only put swarmers on the Obelisk or Advanced Obelisk. Wouldn't characterize them as a Fed hangar pet.
BTW... moving this thread to the Fed gameplay forum.

You can get them from T3 spire (can equip on any ships), and they add pretty decent damage to both shielded and unshielded targets.
Swarmers from the Spire can be equipped on any carrier. I'm using Spire Elite Swarmers on my Galaxy-X. Scorpions probably do higher spike damage, but I like the Swarmers. /shrug.
You are incorrect.
Having tested a lot of pets in sb234, I can say that elite swarmers are the best dps-wise. If you have no access or if they are too expensive, go for elite scorps.
For PvP:
No idea.

^This... The Elite Scorp is the best Fighter for the Feds and the Yellowstone is the best "larger" craft.

:rolleyes: Once again... Your mods on your ship do not effect your pets. Therefore it does not make any difference if YOU are running Antiproton or not. Any tactical consoles or bonuses you get to AP do not carry to your pets. The best way you can help an AP carrying pet would be to try to give them more Critical Chance by stopping the enemy ship from moving and lowering the enemy resistances in any way you wish.
Yellowstones come with a non-damaging version of Eject Warp Plasma and are all around a bit more deadly than the Runabouts. Does it really warrant the cost? Weeelll... Considering you already have the Advanced Runabouts... Not reeeeally.
Btw, I've been seeing people these days going for the the elite type 10 shuttles. Those look terrible to me but I keep seeing people grabbing them. Am I missing something here or are these people just uninformed?

Bearing in mind I have only the Advanced Type 10's....
It's not *entirely* impossible people are experimenting with the (relativeley) fast firing micro-photon torpedo and twin phaser arrays they carry to see if they hold up in the DPS department. That would give them more firepower per shuttle than the heavy shuttles, but it seems unlikely they'd outmatch Peregrines. Their PH, IME, does nothing to make them more durable, anytime I've seen them killed it's by the same things that would have wiped out any other fighter pet in the same situation.
Pets with cannons, they better have a big torpedo boom cause they do not fire very often, so you have to rely on their spike and they have poor DPS.
I suspect the type-10 are pretty good for DPS but I havent tested any of the fed pets yet.
I like the Elite Scorpions. They don't always do a lot of damage, but they're great for placation.
