my JHDC with a dbb shot and scorps vape cubes in about 20 seconds
Swarmers spam BO -> PvP (Because single target and Transphasics)
Widows spam FAW -> Generally useful
Scorpions spam Plasma HYT -> Borg (Because HYT Plasma mega boom on unshielded targets)
And to say that as well, the Plasma torp spam looks really cool, especially if you're using a Hyper torp yourself in addition
Elite scorps = High dps from torps on unshielded and stationary targets (i.e. most elite stfs). Torps give great splash damage on grouped targets. In starbase 24 fleet action Hy torps are shot down pretty quickly, i.e. they are targetable.
Elite Swarmers = High dps from beam overload on fast moving shielded and unshielded targets.
Elite widows = Are good, but don't take things down quickly, and draw too much aggro from FAW, leading to them dying much quicker than the two pets above. Also FAW splits damage up on different ships and isn't focused unless there is only one target in the immediate area, leading to less damage per ship.

This is true. your enemy will decide what you use. When I am doing dyson missions I swap out my scorps for runabouts due to the NPCs FAW scorps don't last long. When doing the patrol missions for rommy marks the scrops are my go to as there is no FAW there.
Faw doesn't split damage, actually, it more than doubles it on 2 targets. It increases dmg slightly even with one target.
I get that this is a sub optimal pvp build but am I totally gimping myself in pve with this idea? And could my build do anything decent in pvp?
I've done some pvp with vastly differing results.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Since the OP was asking about what to mount on the Vesta, it wasn't really relevant to talk about the Jem pets.
Bug Hangars are probably the best hangars in the game, DPS roughly on par with the Elite Scorps in STFs, the ability to strip shields in PvE where that matters, and enough durability to survive the Voth decently. With their durabilty, I would run two hangars of the Bugs (even if one is EC or Dil Store, with the other Elite), as drawing fire from them is only really needed in No Win with the Bio-Neural warhead spam, and fighters wouldn't last long enough against those to be much help. Consider picking up the Wing Commander trait too for faster Rank up.

I use Elite Swarmers on my own tac Vesta. Works nicely for PVE
There's nothing quite like a volley of 20 photon torpedoes flying at an enemy ship.
Buy a Mirror Vo'Quv (they're always cheap AND powerful)

*Awaits the hate*
Faw splits total damage up amongst targets in range, and focused when there is one target in range (same as it does on a starship). It gives relatively reasonable dps numbers due to Faw spam, but is not better than elite scorps or elite swarmers. I've tested each extensively on the Vesta and elite widows bottoms out all the time, probably due to dying more frequently because of Faw aggro grabbing. But they are still good, just not the best by a long shot.
