- You may be looking for Small Craft, the playable versions of Carrier Pets.
Carrier Pets are small, lightweight vessels that can be deployed from ships with hangar bays; such as Carriers, Escort Carriers, and Flight-Deck Cruisers. Most are extremely agile and easily out-maneuver any playable vessels. Carrier pets may specialise in direct damage firepower support, repairing the carrier itself or weakening / disabling enemies. Due to their weak shields and hull however they are easily dispatched: although due to their numbers they can inflict damage if not dealt with quickly. Carrier pets are most easily dealt with using AoE weapon abilities like Cannon: Scatter Volley or Beam Array: Fire at Will.
Whist not individually controlled, players can dispatch orders and commands through the use of carrier commands, which is available on any ship capable of deploying carrier pets.
Variants
Note: Squad size refers to the number of carrier pets deployed per wing. Each hangar bay can support up to 2 deployed wings at the same time. Carriers have 2 hangar bays (max 4 wings). Escort Carriers and Flight-Deck Cruisers have 1 hangar bay (max 2 wings).
Roles
- Attack: Armed, with either no abilities or only self-enhancing abilities.
- Support: Unarmed, provides buffs or heals to friendly ships.
- Debuff: Unarmed. hampers opponents by debuffing / reducing their capabilities.
- Multirole: A combination between Attack, Support and / or Debuff roles.
- Raider: Capable of boarding hostile ships OR stealing resources (energy drains / siphons not included).
- Frigate: Powerful independent ships in their own right, heavily armed with multiple abilities and a very small squad size (generally only one per wing). Have a much higher hull point than fighters.
Ranks
A new feature added in July 2013 is the ability for your hangar/carrier pets to gain Ranks [1] while they are launched. There are a total of five ranks; each rank-up will improve their performance over time. Each fighter you launch will gain Ranks separately over time, so if one is lost it has no impact on the current Rank or continuing progress of any that remain intact.
Ranks are slowly gained based upon the time they spend in combat without dying. Reaching Rank 5 requires a total of 5 minutes of active Combat time, with early ranks being more quickly achieved than those at the high end.
NOTE: Ranks will be reset when a craft or your carrier is destroyed, or any time that you change maps.
Each time a hangar craft achieves the next Rank, it instantly receives a 25% Hull HP heal, as well as gaining additional stat buffs:
+5/10/15/20/25% Maximum Hull HP
- Tachyon Drones, Siphon Drones and Shield Repair Drones will instead gain +10/20/30/40/50% Max HP, due to their limited combat utility.
- Runabouts, Delta Flyers and all Frigate Hangar crafts will instead only gain +2/4/6/8/10% Max HP, due to their higher starting base value.
+2/4/6/8/10% Damage Bonus
Non-Damaging hangar crafts gain unique bonuses:
- Tachyon Drones will drain -10 more shields per tick, per Rank.
- Shield Repair Drones will repair 10% more shields per tick, per Rank.
- Siphon Drones do not currently gain in effectiveness as they Rank Up, other than Max HP.
