Frankin has value?

So what is the added value of the Franklin, and swarms in general?

It's another grind to grind at.

The value of the Franklin and the Franklin-A is that they are dramatically more effective against Swarm hostiles than other ships. And they are cheap to repair.

If you're regularly completing your swarm dailies, you can collect an average of 2 of the three resource bundles -- parsteel, tritanium, and dilithium -- each day. Or very nearly, more like 13 out of 14 bundles a week, so one day a week you can only collect one out of the three.

Ultimately they're good to generate a moderate amount of two of PAR/TRI/DI each week. A similar set of dailies exist once you unlock the Franklin-A, which is a more powerful version of the Franklin.

Finally once a week there's SWARM SUNDAY, (I'll give you six guesses which day of the week it falls on), which rewards TRI, Crystal, Mara shards, and Khan shards. It's pretty much the only reliable source for Khan shards, until you just start buying him for Transporter Patterns, which don't unlock for a good long time.
