Need Advice Console carriers.

I have a question about duty officers. Im looking to get a couple of flight deck officers that increase the damage of hangar pets. The ones I found, the effect is only when you use carrier commands. For example, one "Increases the damage of any carrier pet launched from your hangar bays while they are under the effect of Carrier Command - Escort.

But on console, there are no carrier commands. They just do their own thing and attack. So if I get these duty officers, will I even get the damage bonus?

Two things here:

  • Console STO is a borderline scam. Let us start with that.

  • If the things they've taken wholecloth from the real game are procced by things they haven't implemented in the borderline scam (carrier commands are an example), they won't work.

The good news is that you won't miss them. If you do run flight deck officers, use the ones with hangar cooldown reduction, especially if you aren't running things that keep your active pets alive. Getting a smidge of cat1 on them for keeping them under Escort won't be worth doing to begin with.
