Scorpion Fighters

[Free the Uighurs]

One mission rewarded me with scorpion fighters as a device. I used them with low tier ships right up until I made Fleet Admiral and they ran out. I tried to buy more, but they are all hangar pets, which I cannot use at this stage with lower powered ships. What gives? Where are the scorpion fighters that are used as a plain device?

I believe Scorpion Fighter's are bound to character; you might want to try platforms instead although they also eat up a device slot until you get your beacon of kahless and swarm dealio's for your AI summons.

You get the Scorpion fighters from the "The Vault" If you replay this mission to get a replacement Scorpion Fighters device (because you have consumed all of its charges) but are unable to claim it as a mission reward, remember that this is a unique item. Make sure that you don't still have one located in your inventory or bank, equipped on a different ship, etc., and try claiming the reward while aboard your ship. If you are still unable to claim the reward, try moving any other ship device into the device slot where it was equipped then retry. You should then be able to claim the reward

He's talking about the consumable device version... plus, the original elite scorpion fighters hangar pets actually came from the romulan rep, not fleet. The ones from fleet are the kelvin timeline versions and don't hurl an endless supply of high-yield plasma balls (meaning they are unworthy of even their mother's love).

I think you can do the Vault mission more times to get more of them. But I may be wrong....

You can buy with Uncommon (Green Level) Phoenix Prize Tokens what are called [Space Combat Pet - Fighter Squadron]. They are placed in a Device slot and not the ones you put in a Hanger slot, like the Scorpions, and they are also Rare (Blue) quality.

However, you only get 10 charges for for the Fighter Squadron, as opposed to 50 for the Scorpion.

Haven't heard of Phoenix Prize Tokens. I am only 300 hours into the game, so I am still learning. I'm amped for the anniversary, looking forward to earning my first T6. Still, those fighters came in handy, if I realized I could extinguish them, I would have been more judicious about releasing them lol.
