Greetings All,
I've got a couple of request involving my favorite subject , Carriers.
1st. Can we finally get a T6 Klingon Vo'Quv Carrier.
Many of us have been asking for a T6 Vo'Quv ever since T6 became a thing. The stock Vo'Quv and it's fleet version are just so woefully outdated.
I'm asking for a updated T6 Vo'Quv carrier to be added to the Zen shop because IMO that ship does not belong in a lock box.
2nd. (And this one will Monetize itself) Can you please add to the final ship tier of all T5 and above Carriers the ability to use that Carriers Hangar options on any other T5 and above Carrier that has also maxed out its ship tiers?
I'll explain my 2nd request.
The ability to use the any Carriers hanger options would be limited to only the Characters faction. So no Delta Flyers on the KDF and no BOP for the Federation.
Something similar to this has already been done with the Jem'Hadar T6 ships.
What I'm requesting would add a lot of value to Carriers in general, if you want the option to mix and match your hangers "You Gotta Catch Them All"
Thanks for your Time.

A carrier pilot mostly has options at LB, Phoenix and Event ships so they wont get his cash at C-Store.
Exactly
I like your idea of opening up use of carrier pets. I'd go further and say you should be able to use any faction pets OR lock box & lobi carrier pets. That gives Cryptic more incentive if it increases lock box and lobi sales.

Yeah the Romulans deserve better than an Ungodly expensive lock box ship has their only Carrier. Full disclosure;
I own the Kelvin Timeline T'laru Intel Carrier Warbird and it is hands down one of the best Carriers in the game. 2x Elite Romulan Drone ships FTW!
I own the Tlaru as well, its awesome double drones is nuts. That said, BoP and Carriers are largely overlooked in the shop which is strange. A 3 pack would be nice, the Atrox/Vo'que/romulan carrier equal would be great also a temporal carrier would be nice to finish the temporal set. Along with a run of KDF raiders since there is a ton of BoP left out of high tier play.
The catfish has largely been forgotten it was a great carrier. Id love to see them actually pay attention and give all pets a once over as tons of carrier pets are far to slow, broken ai etc. Give figthers the Hurq AI, make a new one for cannon based ships/beam types/ ones that use mines. Mine layers should do bombing runs and drop mines close to targets not just anywhere.
People have pointed out that the Feds have a T6 C-Store carrier and no other faction does outside of the Jem'Hadar, this is true. The reason for this is because the carrier they did release was a colossal failure due to their horrible AI mechanics for Hangar pets.
The Jupiter brought with it a sense of excitement over the Callisto Hangar pets and they ended up being complete and total garbage as are most frigate pets in STO. The only way to keep from preventing this mistake on other faction Carriers is to put in the time and effort to fix hangar pet mechanics and Cryptic seems to have abandoned this idea long ago. If they don't fix the way hangar pets function in general, then I agree with their decision to not sell anymore carriers because they're just selling broken garbage. In fact, the truth is.. the Jupiter should be pulled from the store but that's another discussion.
There is some encouragement, the Jem'Hadar wingmen mechanic is fantastic. The Jem Hangar Pets also seem to function quite well, so if they could adapt something like that.. then fine. Unless something like that can be done though Cryptic should absolutely not release any C-Store Carriers as all they are doing is selling people broken junk.
I bought my Jupiter with Dilithium so when it ended up being hot garbage I just shrugged it off. I bought it mostly for the Callisto's because I thought they were cool. If I had spent cash on that thing, I would have been quite unhappy.
I think the only Tier 6 carriers which is not complete garbage are the Tholian and Breen Ships and those suffer from lockbox availability or a distinct look which is not everybody's cup of tea.
The Jem Vanguard Carrier is also a nice ship.
It has the additional benefit of being an account unlock so any character can use it. Sure, it doesn't substitute for an actual faction specific ship, but at least it's something.
Going through all of the pets I have access to I place the gunboats a close second to the Plesh Breks, and that's only because they don't come out of the hangar facing forward.
The two wingmen and that assault ship stuck on your butt just add to the carnage this ship can cause.
It's the first time my Fleet Admiral has actually felt like a Fleet Admiral.
The Vanguard is a very powerful Carrier. The hangars AI seems to be much more responsive than most of the others. It's upsetting that we can't load Bugs into its hangar bays. The way the hangar support works with this Carrier reminds me of how the Vo'Quv's BOP use to work before Cryptic made some adjustments to the AI that totally destroyed any kind of coordination that they had.
If there were to be a T6 Vo'Quv. I'd love for it to come with a console that gave it a Battle Cloak and two Raptor escorts
The looks of the dominion ship is a turn off for me though. I realize that for others it may be a selling point, but for me it is not.
It does look quite gruesome but I think it adds to the intimidation factor of the vessel
Now that they have that kind of mechanic in place they should share the wealth with other factions Carriers.
Maybe introduce new universal console that adds the escort mechanic to ships that meet the class requirements.
Lets say the console could only be slotted on Carriers, Dreadnoughts and Destroyer class ships. (Just for example)
Depending on which ship the console was slotted on you'd get escorts that are appropriate for that vessel.
On the hangars, I'm strongly for just letting any ship with one or more hangar bays being able to slot any of the hangars available to you normally. You'd have to be able to purchase the hangars normally, so KDF/Allied couldn't use Delta Flyers and Fed/Allied couldn't use BoPs due to faction separation, so that wouldn't be an issue. Not much reason to not be able to mount frigates based on size, when Yukawa frigates can be mounted to anything now.
Aye, i bought the Jupiter fleet ship for grinded dil and got severely disappointed by the lackluster code for the pets.
Now that ship is gathering dust in the garage.
Then the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Carrier came and took #1 spot over all carriers i've ever tried (not tested all though)!
The frigates function the best yet as well, as they are even at my target before i get to it. I hear them boost their engines and woosh away!
Previously i used Elite scorpions for all my ships having a hangar, but even they are not as responsive as the Jemmie frigates.
Plus, the wingmen mechanic is *Blowing kiss* marvelous!
Cryptic need to revisit the code for this.
Like The Mask said...
I can see that, sure.
Personally, I think it looks great, but I get that some don't like it.
I'd also like to see all proper carriers (i.e 2 hangar bays) and maybe FDC's (but not dreadnought carriers) get an extra BoFF/DoFF seat for an "Air Boss" that adds carrier specific bonuses, similar to the way sci ships and escorts got the bonus slot. Bonuses such as the one that you get with the Obelisk Space Set, or % Hull/Defense / % Damage/Crit etc.
Narrative is irrelevant. The Sarcophagus can mount virtually any fighter, and it is several times larger than the Vo'quv and even more massive than the KDF Temporal Dreadnought. There is no reason why it should be denied Frigates.
The Vo'Quv was the main reason that I jumped to almost solely playing KDF has soon has I could make the Character.
My T5U Vo'Quv is the successor to name Pegasus and no other Carrier that I fly outside of the successor to the Vo'Quv will ever be given that name by me.
Mine can mount Cardassian Yakawa frigates, so 'narrative' doesn't seem that big of an issue. Also, according to STO story blogs, the Sarcs flying around in game are replicas anyway, so there's little reason not to have updated hangar bays on them.
Can that it slot our existing BOP hangar's?
