called it!

Chel Grett cruiser, stats should be revealed soon id imagine, the event is live soon. you have 35 days to run 25 races to get it, or the tokens you get after the race can be gotten in very small quantities from the lobi store too. your used to grinding by now right pvp'ers? hope you have room for 1 more. :rolleyes:
my guess is it will have the same hitpoints and movement stats as the galor, but have a LTC sci and tac ens, with the universal LT. the NPC could use DHCs, so it will likely be DHC capable too. if its got these stats, i am excited. to bad it looks... like a breen ship though.

So quickly my friends, we only have 24 hours until the specs are posted, let's go crazy with rampant wild eyed frothing speculation about how this will end PvP forever!
I bet it has a sub nuc console and it spawns Plesh Brek (maor liek Pwn Brek, amirite?) frigates that use Energy Siphon III and sub nuc! Now a Tac can sub nuc!
It probably has a cryo cannon since nobody has cold resists in space. This is going to end PvP!
Unique Console: Ice Lance
8,412 cold damage (bypasses shields)
2.5% chance to proc glass cutters on Vulcan female bridge officers wearing open shirts
2.5% chance to proc tongue stuck to conn on Acting Ensigns
This effect cannot be resisted
Unique Console: Energy Dissipator
Cone AoE, 90 degrees
-400% energy drain resist
2.5% chance to proc loss of will to queue against player characters
This effect cannot be resisted.
2 piece bonus:
When firing the Unique Console: Ice Lance and Unique Console: Energy Dissipator simultaneously it produces a Lancipator Wave in addition to the effects of each piece.
Lancipator Wave
Removes all currently applied buffs
Placates target for 30 seconds (not broken by damage)
This effect cannot be resisted
The sky has fallen folks, no you cannot has my stuff, this is awful, I'm sure the worst design ever I hate it it's brokenly OP why do they hate PvP don't they love us enough not to stick hot pokers in our eyes or really probably really really cold pokers cause it's a Breen ship after all and once a coordinated premade starts using this it will empty the queues...
There, that's out of the way. Now let's theorize what kind of build we're going to run based on what boff layout we imagine it will have.
Clearly I'm going to need to run Emergency Power to the Coffee Maker and grind for some long underwear with cold resists just so my butt doesn't stick to the captain's chair.
CommanderDonatra@Capt.Sisko: ahhh is it supposed to do that?

2.5% Chance to get Devoras to make a "TSI Reacts To..." thread.
100% Chance to say "Rofl nub gg k thnx shh", at end of match
Yeah who knows, I hope they fix they fix the stuff mentioned on this forum before they release more broken stuff. Bah who am I kidding... lol.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Maybe there'll be a console that works like an MIB neuralizer and causes you to forget that awful last season of DS9. Now that'd be baller.

This. It's probably a downgraded version of the next lockbox ship, with different consoles on both of them that together provide some super pawn ability.

So no console, eh? But they're going to 4/3 a Sci and add a Universal console slot?
C'mon, tell me that wouldn't bring more complaints than just another console?
With or without DHCs?

Heh, no DHCs...but how about a special Lobi weapon secondary set, eh?
Special Breen Polaron Beam, Special Breen Transphasic, and... oh snap, I guess there would be a console!
With the various bonuses - running it with the Breen set - something for the folks to do while they're grinding their way to Rom/Omega Rep...
...I could see it.
No console on the ship, but one available as part of a set coming to the Lobi store.
Definitely better than it coming with one for stirring up the masses.
yours is getting more posts though
...And the breen just love their power drain abilities. How about this for a breen ship?

Norvo Tigan@dontdrunkimshoot: hell ya, maybe
That's right, 180degree SNB.
Any bets what the free power will be? :P
indeed! if this ship does have a console im guessing it will have something to do with debuffing energy. i liked that idea about rebufing energy drain resistance, maybe like the opposite effect of nadiaon immersion, for like 10 seconds or something. so someone firing their weapons will drain more energy when fireing, and energy draining will be more effective.
i do have a feeling this will finally be the LTC sci cruiser. the odyssey didn't really count, it has an LT of tactical or sci as well. a COM and LT eng with a LTC sci will be very very nice for a cruiser
Poor soul didnt have time to log out.
Just passing them out.
On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to the bridge on this thing. Who knows? We could probably get the devs to make the Winter Event stuff fully capable on the Breen bridge if it's as cold as I think. (Edit: Forget it, they said it probably wouldn't have a unique bridge)
Weapons 3 fore/3 Aft
Boff Seating: Ensign Tac, Lt Engi, LtC Sci, Cmd Universal, Lt Universal
Consoles: 4 Sci, 3 Engi, 2 Tac
1 hanger Bay (can equip Siphon Pods)

Hull 39,000
Shields 1.5
Crew: 700
Special:
Universal Console: Breen Neutralization Device: SNB but with a 5 minute cool down. (Can only be equipped on Breen ships) (Breen Cold shoulder set 1/3)
Lobi Store lockbox Addons:
Polarized Antiproton Weapons grab bag aka Christmas Present (Random)
Chronoton Transphasic Torpedo (Rapid Fire torpedo with Chronoton Proc [CrtD] [Dmg]) (Breen Cold Shoulder set 2/3)
Chronoton Transphasic Mine Launcher (Deploys Mines at the speed of Quantum Mines with Chronoton Proc [CrtD] [CrtH]) (Breen Cold Shoulder set 3/3)
Breen Cold Shoulder:
When activated up to 5 enemy targets out to 5km have their buffs removed and timers added to their powers on normal and global cooldowns.
Also drains -10 power for 10 seconds from all affected targets subsystems and gives you +10 power for each subsystem drained for 10 seconds after 2 seconds. 5 Minute recharge. (HE counters the Drain, Sci team counters the cool down debuff)
Think about this:
American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
An escort with a science edge has not been made into a lock box version (Mobius kinda but not really universal is getting there + console slots) but the bug ship seems to be science with high turn rate and crew but not... arh sick of writing stuff that dosen't really matter
Either a science-crusier or tactical-science. I am doubting which ship class it is going to be let alone console slots bridge officer stations etc.
Edit: I am almost certain this ship won't have a hanger bay (common its copying Vesta enough) and its obviously going to have no sub nuc capabilities, cryptic is trying to improve PvP (just haven't put much effort in, although the next Reputation system is most likely going to be PvP (dev said so in TTS chat)) they are not going to release something like that esp on a free ship.
Edit 2: Just a fun predition (well more like random thinking that may or may not break PvP more if implemented) ensign tac, lt tac, lt cmdr sci, lt cmdr eng, shield mod 1, 3fore, 3aft weapons, 3eng, 3sci, 3tac, turn rate of lets say 7-10, DHC capabilty, 10 to weapons 5 to aux (maybe not as much for weapons), 35000 hull.
It would be cool though if the Breen set had an extra effect on the new ship, or possibly ships.
Aside from that, meh...we'll see.

It should be the Sci-Cruiser equivalent of the Bug! It should be another pest that people complain about for years to come!
As for Feds and the DHC envy - you know the Andorian Battlecruiser's coming, right? That's what, Jan-Feb? Somewhere between the Winter Event and the 3rd Anniversary...
You're right with the Andorian BC, but i think it will be the Fed's equivalent to the Fleet Tor'kat .
It's a free ship, so it won't have 10 consoles, won't have a removable special console, and won't have any universal BOFF stations. It also won't have a unique bridge.
It'll be another tier 4 healer with maybe a sci surprise.
