Uh oh, the nerfbat strikes again!

[WelshAvenger]

Taken from the STO forum:

We will be making some changes to Carrier Pets (e.g. Peregrine Fighters, To'Duj Fighter, Klingon Bird of Prey Pets, etc.), separation pets (like a Galaxy separated saucer, MVAM Pets, and Tal’Kyr Support craft, etc.), as well as similarly related pets (like the Odyssey Work Bees, consumable device Scorpion Fighters, Gorn Healing Platform Drones, etc.). All these items are leveless items and all these pets were using incorrect data that was causing their HP, shields, damage and healing to be too high. In some cases, the sum of the players pets were far outperforming the player’s ship itself. The HP, shields, damage, healing and related values for these pets are all being reduced to scale more consistently with other player gear.

Pets that are not affected are those that deal damage based on the player, instead of independent data. Changing these pets would have no affect since they are already using player data (e.g. Andorian Wing Cannons, Avenger VATA torpedo, Bio-neural Warhead, etc.).

This change only affects pets, and not the playable versions of any of these ships (e.g. the playable Jem Hadar Attack Ship and Danube Runabout are not affected).

Here is a complete list of all pets that are affected. If a pet is missed, it is probably a mistake. Please let us know, and we will look into it.

Danube Runabout

Fer'Jai Frigate
Ha'feh Assault Warbird

Doh, guess I need to up my kdf pets to the next level then.

[Gabriel Lyons]

yup looks like I'll be switching my main from the Narcine to another ship. Guess its good I was able to get my Faehl today for my Tac.

Kinda glad I did not buy the Karfi carrier. Bummer...

[Hevach]

So I guess my swarmers eating tricobalts without losing shields wasn't intended?

Well the nerf bat swings again. Needed to optimise my recluse build anyway, it's still a work in progress (like most of my things). There's going to be much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the carrier dps'ers

Umm... A nerf to something popular announced 2 to 3 weeks in advance...

I would have though Cryptic would not give advance warning, so that people continue buying new pets and new carriers...

True enough, maybe they want to gauge the player base reaction.....

So much for pulling 20k+ dps on my Engy Recluse. I have the best pets I can't get for my ship and they can't be upgraded. This sucks, but I will stick it out in my Recluse.

Saw this coming tbh , when pets have more hp than player ships, something is wrong
