    DPS Comparison of various hangar pets including Squads VS Singles

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 02:02 AM PDT

    It has been suggested I should break off my own data into a new thread.

    Just done my first batch of testing and can add more in if anyone has requests and if I have access to the hanger pet. I have almost all of them from the Fed side. There is a lack of Ultra Rare in these tests because I have no easy access to Ultra Rare on Tribble and I didn't want to waste 1millloin+ Dill on live. Generally speaking Ultra rare are no better and sometimes even perform worse. I will make a few expectations if there is good reason like Drone Ships which look to be the 2nd best pets in game behind Lost Souls. I do have all the Jem'Hadar Ultra Rare pets just waiting on the fix to the Jem'Hadar support carrier to test Gunboats.

    Testing done against 2 Orion Covettes on Elite, hangers pets only. Please note this limits the effectiveness of SAD (Superior Area Denial ) and will be why my DPS numbers are lower than those that tested against larger groups of NPC's. SAD with a gravity well will give a large DPS boost.

    I choose two ships as I wanted fast easy repeatable results that are consistent. Noticeable equipment was Swarmer Matrix console, traits: Wing commander, Holo Decoys, Scramble Fighters +x3 Flight Deck Recharge doffs with enough Aux to hit 5 second hanger speed, traits SAD/CA + Dominion Coordination CA = Coordinated Assault

    Total is both hangers combined for that run. Top is the single hanger pet that did the most DPS. Average is an estimated average from the group of pets excluding the ones that died.

    Before I get into the numbers the new trait Relaunch and Repair is rather poor for keeping hanger pets alive. But its amazing if you like Captain powers to recharge fast. My hangers recharge at 5 seconds so that's 10% off every every 5 seconds form 2 bays. Or with Lost Souls that's 10% off every 1 second. If you stack up all the Captain Power recharge traits you can pretty much use Captain Powers none stop.

    Onto the numbers

    Total CA 9.1k
    Rare Stalker Squad: Top 844, Average 730
    Rare Stalker: Top 933, Average 450

    Total SAD 21k
    Rare Stalker Squad: Top 2,165, Average 1,900
    Rare Stalker: Top 1574, Average 1,568

    Total CA 12.4k
    Adv Stalker Squad: Top 1044.8, Average 834
    Adv Stalker: Top 1044.0, Average 871

    Total SAD 24.5k
    Adv Stalker Squad: Top 1879, Average 1776
    Adv Stalker: Top 2113, Average 1578

    Total CA 11.3k
    Jem'Hadar Fighter Squad: Top 991, Average 898
    Adv Jem'Hadar Fighter Squad: Top 925, Average 890

    Total SAD 21.5k
    Jem'Hadar Fighter Squad: Top 1083, Average 953
    Adv Jem'Hadar Fighter Squad: Top 1323, Average 988

    Total CA 20.1k
    Adv Jem'Hadar Fighter: Top 1593, Average 1489
    Elite Jem'Hadar Fighter: top 1967, Average 1860

    Total SAD 23.8k
    Adv Jem'Hadar Fighter: Top 2002, Average 1814
    Elite Jem'Hadar Fighter: Top 1975, Average 1856

    Total CA 16.6k
    Scorpion Fighter Squad: Top 1459, Average 1379
    Elite Scorpion Fighter Squad: Top 1015, Average 965

    Total SAD 35k
    Scorpion Fighter Squad: Top 3528, average 3076
    Elite Scorpion Fighter Squad: Top 3334, average 3013
    2nd run with a single added in Total 32.5k

    Elite Scorpion Squad: Top 3528,
    Elite Single: Top 3334

    Total CA 12.1k
    Jem'Hadar Support : Top 3125
    Adv Jem'Hadar Support top 3191

    Total SAD 10k
    Jem'Hadar Support: Top 2829, average 2624
    Adv Jem'Hadar Support top 2614, average 2496

    Lost Souls 37,882
    Normal: Top 4884 Average 4647
    Elite: Top 3421 Average 2401

    Pretty similar to everyone else's testing so overall I am disappointed as I was hoping Squads would fix full Carriers and make them decent again. On the plus side Feds now have access to a Rom Carrier and Drone ships which looks to be well worth looking into. Buying a T5 Scimitar should unlock Drone ships for the Rom Support Carrier.

    Squads are cosmetic around about + or – 5% DPS from the none squad versions. Squads look very nice but perform average at best. With the exception of Scorpion Squads which are the top performers in this batch of testing and in both runs just edged out over the Single Scorpions but that's within a margin of error.

    This confirms what we already know take SAD over CA even against 1 or 2 targets. Also upgrading to Advance, Very Rare or Ultra Rare hanger pets often makes pets worse. Which is something the devs really need to fix considering the cost to get them. We wouldn't except losing damage by upgrading core weapons so why is it ok to upgrade hanger pets and lose damage? Its not really cheap at almost 100k dill for two Ultra Rare hanger pets.

    Drone ships are meant to be much better then Scorpions and now Feds have a Rom carrier we can really push into hanger pet DPS.

    Some you might know me as the Author of STO League's Hangar Pets article which is in need of a bit of an update. If anyone has any suggestions, improvements or more testing you would like to see let me know here.

    How well do pets with cloaks operate? And do the support frigates use their powers sensibly?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 07:44 AM PDT

    Mostly in reference to the stalker fighters/squadrons but has anyone taken note of how they operate the battle cloaks, do they use them sensibly and use them whilst they are out of firing arc and drop them when they are or do they keep them up unnecessarily and potentially miss opportunities to do damage?

    Also has anyone noted how effectively the support frigates do the supporting role with their powers that their name suggests?

    trait from this years risa ship

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 09:24 AM PDT

    It's my understanding that it makes lightning shoot out from your anomalies, does this include things like the plasma cloud from the Particle emission plasma torpedo? and the grav wells from the graviton torpedo (the dyson one in case i'm getting name wrong)? I'm not sure what is and is not classified as a anomaly as well. Oh and is it affected by aux power or epg?

    Edit: got it working again.

    I've tried 2 different keyboards and the commands in the game but those or prtscrn don't seem to be working. Anyone else having this issue or know what I'm missing? Apparently the last time a screen shot registered was yesterday.

    Azure Nebula

    Hi,

    I have a mission to rescue 7 ships from the azure Nebula, I am at the azure Nebula but there are no ships and no prompt to enter mission. Is it a task force event as it's telling me it's my primary objective?

    Future Hopes!

    Future Hopes!

    Now that we've been given the proper TNG Klingon Outfit ( IMO the best one! ) I hope we get to see this Dress Coat (since there's that empty coat tab) that goes with it added with our YOTK content :D its honestly one the coolest combos and I've loved it ever since we got to see worf wear in TNG. I know its not guaranteed, but I'm glad we're seeing some great love for the Klingon side regardless!

    Also I haven't been on tribble lately. has anyone seen if there are any secret Klingon outfit additions on there of late?

    Is the event ship buging the boff tray for everyone else ?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 07:34 AM PDT

    In short I got the new event ship, and every time I switch to it the layout of the boff tray changes. Now my main, and my rom fed captian are locked in that layout and I can't reset it to default. Anyone else experienced this ?

    Since I can't get a refund, I leave the code here so at least the money is not lost: 6973295959 (I hope it works for this game). I got no info on how to redeem it, sorry.

    XBox Fleet

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:12 AM PDT

    Invested some zen in an alt and am looking for a fleet that is decently equipped and preferably free to buy from. I always do donations, just a hassle to hunt people down for promotions. Getting randomly invited to fleets is always a pain as well. Fed character. Any help as always is appreciated.

    Recently got my risian weather sci vessel

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:03 AM PDT

    Tbh I am impressed with this ship. I have a torp spread and sci heavy build in place with the torps being in rep gear and then mission rewards. The console is ok and the trait I have not unlocked so I don't know what to say about that. Is it just me or is it that event and or lockbox ships generally have more console slots and or seating. Oh yeah from what I remember it's a single pilot specialization seating on a lieutenant universal.

    What's With The Lag?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 02:08 PM PDT

    I can normally run almost every graphics setting on the highest possible, and rarely get a stutter. This last week or so, it seems I am struggling to keep 10fps with most settings turned down.

    Styx class Dreadnought scale and size?

    Posted: 23 Aug 2020 09:33 PM PDT

    Hi, so as it says on the tin. I'm trying to find the physical stats for the Styx class Dreadnought. I have tried looking for it, but can seem to find it. A link or just the outright size in meters would be awesome. Thanks!
