Ive noticed that with the patch yesterday that the Pets are down about 20k HP. My Delta Flyers were at 54k pre-patch and they are now at 38k post-patch.

I dont think it was intentional as Ive heard the incoming nerf for Pets are a few weeks away. But Im hoping that with this recent change Cryptic will change its mind. These pets are already exploding left and right in Normal content outside of Queues. And I cant imagine them being of any use to players if they nerf them any farther.

I understand the need to make pets HP lower than the players since my Delta Flyers was only a few thousand HP from being on par with my Armitage. Theres no reason something that can only support 4 people should rival a ship that supports 200+ people. But as it stands they easily pop if anything blows air at them let alone fires directly their way.

Their DPS output is abysmal and their shielding is a joke. You have to click on them to apply heals even though for the sake of balance they should heal when you heal. Especially since youre limited in heals.

But thats just my view of this.

arriers the most half... thing they've done to date. big. fat. slow. but comes with pets that die in 4 seconds.

give me 8 hangers 2 360 degree weapon slots and a command range of 20km then i might feel like a carrier and not a glorified space turtle

I too would love to fly BSG in STO, but don't see them doing it unfortunately :(

This change is overdue by about a year and a half, but glad to see that someone noticed the balance issues associated with carriers... eventually.

Well I don't use carriers a ton like I used to so I guess this doesn't hit me as hard as it would of 6+ months ago.

I guess there is one tiny little bit of good news from that post depending on who you are. It means that we very well be getting a Breen, Kazon, and Elachi carrier eventually...

I mean I don't see why they would add Bleth Choas Fighter, Plesh Brek Frigate, Kazon Raider, Oschu Shuttle, and Qulash Frigate if we weren't.

Personally if the ships have stats I like I think I'd be interested in the Breen and or Elach ships...especially if it's Sheshar Dreadnought for the Elachi one.
