Hello, I started playing at the beginning of this year, the only other C-store ship I have is the Cardassian Intel Flight Deck Carrier; then I have all the event ships from this year.

I like pet/carrier builds and I want to use my two T6 coupons from the event to grab the Khopesh Tactical Dreadnought and Ra'nodaire Support Carrier Warbird so I can field 4 Romulan drone ships.

However, I also have the T6 Starship choice pack, an Epic Prize Token (from another event) and 2074 lobi crystals. So I was wondering if there was anything else useful for pets I could get with those things specifically.

I am aware of SAD... and even though its not good with the drone ships I thought it would be worth getting the Mirror Engle Strike Wing Escort with the choice pack, just for other carrier pets. Also the Advanced obelisk carrier in the Lobi store eventually so I can use the 4-piece set. But other than that, I dunno.

The other option would be to get the T'laru Intel Carrier Warbird from the choice pack. I would save a T6 coupon (For maybe the Hydra Intel Destroyer) but then I don't get the support carrier trait or console, or SAD.

Are there any other cool carrier ships in the lobi or phoenix store I should know about?

Anyways that's my essay, any input welcome, thanks.

You should probably get the T5 obelisk of the exchange rather than burn you lobi on it depending on how much EC you have. Not much in way of what you can use the Premium Box pick on for carriers other than SAD which is out for you. I'd just hold on to the lobi and Premium box for now.

Ha, yeah I have 2.5 million EC because I just spend 30 million on a trait. Honestly I have no idea how some of you guys have hundreds of millions of EC. I just looked at the market and that ship would probably take me 3 years to save up to buy lol. Thank you though.

You could probably use some of your lobi to get the T5 Obelisk for the set. The set is very good for carriers. EC generation is a tricky thing. It takes more patience than anything.

Thanks yeah, another hanger bay worth of pets sounds kind of OP. I think I will definitely pick it up one way or another.
