    Basically what it says on the tin, for the longest time I've have been trying to work on a build for my Akira-class fleet strike escort, my main sticking point is my hanger slot. Currently I'm using Advanced Peregrine Fighters but I know they are not the best out there. I do not have access to any of the lobi-store fighters, I have the access to Fliers squadrons, peregrines, Type C shuttles, Runabouts, Delta Fliers, Scorpion and Scorpion Squadrons and Tholian fighters, I'm wandering out of this list which would be the best pick for a single-bay ship like the Fleet Akira.

    I actually prefer the Mirror C Shuttles when running ecorts or cruisers. The the tractorbeam power is pretty useful. While Disco fighters is all the rave or it was, I actually like Cell Ship fighters because of their absorption ability which allows them to last longer in combat. Otherwise, I do run jem fighters, frigates and bugs for my jemmy ships.

    My opinion here is, if you have access to Mirror C Shuttles, you cannot go wrong with them. If you have the Suliban Flight Deck Carrier, Cell Fighters last a pretty long time as they absorb damage, they look like the attack drones from the Vengeance, kinda.

    From the pets you have listed I would suggest the Elite Scorpion Fighters or Fighter Squadrons. They perform about the same.

    Elite Peregrines are also pretty good if you like going for the whole canon approach. Otherwise its really down to personal choice.

    Honestly, fly the pets that you like. For looks, whatever floats your boat. For DPS, things get a bit more complicated. If you're using the Starship Trait, Superior Area Denial, then the starter blue (rare quality) scorpions or scorpion squadrons, Caitian fighters or Caitian fighter squadrons, or to'duj fighters or to'duj fighter squadrons tend to be most effective. If you're not using the SAD trait, the advanced (purple) jem'hadar fighters from the dilithium store are very good. My personal favorite are the aeon fighters from the Mirror Temporal Dreadnaught from the lobi store, leveled up to ultra-rare from the fleet starbase store.

    Just my thoughts. I hope it helps!

    I've been wondering, how good is the starship trait Voth Carrier Synergies compared to Superior Area Denial, excluding hangar pets that use pulse cannons.

    I've been wondering, how good is the starship trait Voth Carrier Synergies compared to Superior Area Denial, excluding hangar pets that use pulse cannons.
    I'm no carrier expert, but I would use Scramble Fighters over Voth Carrier Synergies, but that's just me. Superior Area Denial and Scramble Fighters would probably be the only 2 Starship Traits that I'd consider using because of my pets.

    (Edit) - to answer your question, SAD gives Fire at Will or Cannon Scatter Volley to your hanger pets, and adds damage resistance debuff to your beams during Fire at Will. Those will add up to a more significant amount of extra damage for you, compared to the minor 10% Cat 1 damage buff from Voth Carrier Synergies. For pets, SAD would be 1st priority, if you use FaW, then Scramble Fighters, if you have room...and nothing better. I hope this helps.

    Just my thoughts on that. Like I said, I'm no carrier expert.

    I've been pondering going with Elite Flyers and using the talent that when you use BOL the pets get it too, since my current build is a beam-boat.

    I've been pondering going with Elite Flyers and using the talent that when you use BOL the pets get it too, since my current build is a beam-boat.
    Elite pets are good for the Coordinated Assault Starship Trait, if they don't benefit from FaW OR BO on their own, but I wouldn't use that trait in place of another trait that buffs my ships damage in some way. It will increase your pet dps, but a better trait, effecting your ship's damage output, would give you better overall dps. Since you're using a BO build, Emergency Weapons Cycle is almost always a must, Preferential Targeting is good if you have room to slot Cannon Scatter Volley 1 (just for the proc...no need to actually slot a turret or cannon, unless you want to), The Best Diplomat is good, Promise of Ferocity, Strike From the Shadows, Calm Before the Storm, Heart of Sol (or faction equivalent), Supercharged Weapons if you also carry a torpedo, and you would definitely want Superweapon Ingenuity to extend the up-time of your BO. I believe that all of these traits would be more effective for you than Coordinated Assault would.

    This is just a game though, so play with it, and see what works best for you. Sometimes whats best for you, is just whatever it is that you feel like doing!

    don't have currently a huge ammount of traits to play with so I'm not going to be very 'optimal'
