  They are for the Federation, but I do not like them one bit.
  The weapons & the look
  
  What of those 4 would be the best?

  Yellowstones are good for the tractor beam and cheap warp plasma, peregrine are fun for half decent damage and canon aspect and delta flyers are good for shield stripping.

  One of the best for raw damage especially with the high yield plasma torpedos

  What ship set-up are you using? That would better help us to find the right pet to compliment your build.

  Howdy great peeps,
  
  Been deciding what pets would go well with my Fleet Dreadnaught.
  Here are my choices:
  
  (Please don't recommend others )
  -Elite Peregrine Fighters: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Hangar_-_Elite_Peregrine_Fighters
  -Elite Type 10 Shuttles: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Hangar_-_Elite_Type_10_Shuttles
  -Yellowstone Runabouts: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Hangar_-_Yellowstone_Runabouts
  -Elite Delta Flyers: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Hangar_-_Elite_Delta_Flyers
  
  Any opinions on which I should take?
  Help would be greatly appreciated!
  
  Much thanks,
  Dukhat

  
  It heavily depends on what you want out of your single hangar.
  
  Those Type 10 shuttles don't go down easy but the firepower is average. Very quick to replace and you can field 6 of them. Their firepower is based on beam arrays so they will easily keep targets in focus and are quite ideal on the "Intercept" order.
  
  The Peregrines are well rounded fighters that are quick to replace. You can field 6 total at max. They're damage is steady over time but respectible, but not spike.
  
  The Yellowstones are sturdy and have the best CC of all the hangar units of the game. However, even with a 2 hangar carrier, their total firepower of 4 shuttles is TRIBBLE-poor. With a 1 hangar ship like a Gal-X, that firepower will be even worse. If you want damage output by your hangar units, IMHO, Yellowstones are the WORST possible choice.
  
  Delta Flyers? Never used them so I cannot give an assessment.
  
  However, I do suggest checking out Elite Swarmers and Elite Scorpion Fighters, as others have pointed out.

  I have run both the Peregrine and the Deltas in my Armitage. Deltas have the staying power with about 6x the HP. Depends also on who I am going up against.

  I primarily run the Elite Yellowstones on my Dreadnought for the CC factor. Allows the Lance to inflict some real damage.
  
  I use the Delta Flyers as an optional loadout and have seen some nice assist in numbers with them.
  
  Best in terms of raw DPS is tied between Swarmers and Scorpions. Nothing else comes close.

  Scorpions or Swarmers for max DPS. Yellowstone runabouts for max crowd control. You've probably already figured out to get Elite-level only. Anything else is a waste of resources.

  This person clearly wants pets that fit thematically with the federation, there is a reason why swarmers and scorpions were ignored as choices, they're not federation.
  
  I'd suggest Yellow Stones or Delta Fliers, depending on build. On an in character level the expansion is in the Delta Quadrant so the Delta Flier is thematic.

  Definitely wanted Federation pets.
  Well my build will be extremely durable, so I guess the Peregrines might be the best?
  Need DPS, seems those are right up my alley..

  Then Peregrines should be perfect.

  I feel bad for the crewmen that get assigned to Scorpion pilot duty.

  Any fighter pilot assignment is a death sentence in STO.
