Is it a mega carrier probably a better version of Tactical carrier pets? New Lockbox or R&D ship?

That beauty is the Section 31 drone carrier, a mean and beautiful ship!
(hmm, well, you could do regular fighter pets, but with the visual for each individual fighter being a small swarm of drones. Still, that doesn't match the orbiting cloud visual here.)
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Edit:
And two of them in one TFO will kill framerate on most PCs...
aut vincere aut mori pro imperio
either to conquer or to die for the Empire
ships like this are ships taken from the movies and tv series. take your issues up with CBS
Just a thought but if they wanted to make this a more interesting ship than generic carrier they could forego the hangars and instead make the drones wingmen.
get yourself the wing commander space strait, the scramble fighters mastery and some flight deck officers in your roster, all of that really helps
Isn't one of those REALLY expensive? Also, I wonder if such traits will even work on these drones. It didn't have a hangar bay right?
No idea. It's not a carrier and not really sure how the damage of this ships pets will work. Or even how you will command them to do what you want. Protect, Assault, Escort. It probably won't be able to take any commands since it seems to be a cruiser and not a carrier.
Though i think that is more a plus then a negative.
Since it will free up slots left and right for carrier captains be it trait or console so their will be a little wiggle room there to try out newer more innovative builds. There.
Though i Do wonder what the damage will be. If it will be based on Exotic or Tactical and if it's tactical will it scale with your phaser damage cons and con sets like your energy weapons do. If so, this swarm would be unbelievably powerful. I mean if you have say 10-15 swarms out and they crit 15-20k+ Per crit or 3-8k none crit. These things would level a battlefield for me in seconds... That would be interesting. But I have no hopes of that being the case. Lol That would be ludicrous.
Well it depends if you count the external docking as a hangar or not. Sure it technically didn't have hangar per say. but at same time you could argue that external docking they had could function as de facto hangar especially if there's repair bays and strorage to keep the spare parts, fuel and munitions in there somewhere.
Only reason I could see this not becoming a carrier is that so far there hasn't been a single carrier that changed model geo when they launched their pets.
