We don't want what the Feds have. We want the equivalent. We want fairer treatment. Concern, desire, greed to some extent, and passionate belief that the enough people would buy KDF items to make it worth Cryptic's while.
I agree i like it, looks good for a Breen ship. Though still wish we could get the pre-rework looks of the ships as part variations, even would not mind getting some of the other breen ship's parts to customize the looks of them via such parts. Do find it weird there seems to not be a true built-in lance weapon, but instead we get a drain based electrical lance with a damage over time kind of style to it.
Kinda gives me a feel of more of a dreadnought carrier than a dreadnought cruiser. Nice we get basically a console that works as a lance weapon, and can be used on all the Breen ships.

How is it lance like? There isn't much it has in common with a lance other than it does damage...

For right now we are not sure of what kind of range, or firing arc the console's discharge will have, but yet there is not a huge degree of things that classify something as a lance weapon or not. For right now it seems it is normally a weapon that is largely possessing a narrow firing arc, and a short (2 seconds is quite short) charge up prior to firing the main lance weapon. Now no it is not listed as a lance-weapon yet it does need to draw power (2 seconds after starting the drain it fires the sustained electrical discharge beam on your main/selected target), while also even has it's damage buffed based on the charge-counters generated on those ship's within 5 km of you being drained (kinda important that the lance weapons need a high degree of energy, which needing to drain power for 2 seconds can imply such), also being it is released on a Dreadnought that normally use such weapons it can be precised too have been a Breen-developed weapon using lance technology. I could see the Breen develop a more drain-based/boosted lance-like weapon system, as their tech is more inclined in that style, since why would they use their own ship's power to fire such a high damage weapon when their technology is about draining energy from other ships, and so would be a natural evolution for their own lance=like weapon system to take on.

Every Lance in STO is based off a weapon type, this console does electrical damage.
Every Lance in STO fires a quick burst or two, this console is sustained damage
Every Lance in STO has a core damage, this one drains power from targets near by and the damage can be affected drastically depending on how many enemies near by.
There is little that makes this thing a *lance*...plus if it's electrical damage it may even be affected by particle generators. If anything it's more comparable to the Quantum Field Focus Phaser or the Singularity beam...and even those are affected by a weapon type.

AN i never said it was a lance, i said it is like a lance weapon, and could have been developed off lance technology. The weapon type of the Breen is polaron, which i would wager is going to be used by the Dominion for their own lance-weapon. So giving them something that feels like a lance weapon that fits their style of draining, while keeping the polaron lance for the Dominon dreadnought is about what i would expect. An like i said never said it was lance but it works in ways like one, being a high damage single target weapon, though the fact it is sustained over burst damage is why it feels or works like a lance yet is not classified as one, while being based around draining an exotic damage is nice.

But how could it be like something when it isn't like something...how could it be like a lance when it doesn't follow a single characteristic of lances?
Who is to say this ship wont have a Polaron lance? This ship is a Dreadnought Cruiser like every other ship with a integrated lance...while the Dominion Dreadnought is a carrier. I'd put my money on this one having a lance before them making a T6 JHDNC with a lance.

I like as well its still ugly as hell(as are all breen ships) but its ugly good.
Damn, you beat me to it, oh well here's one in a romulan skin!

I just picked the first one I saw...yours is better color wise lol
I think they are fine. Absolutely aggressive design. It really shows that Sisko had to bring his A game to defeat them. Very nice ships, canon worthy.
I think they look fine...I just don't get why the Devs decided to replace the two unique looking Breen ships with more generic models for the players.

Your's seems to somewhat have the Terran color scheme, long live the Empire lol

What I'm interested in is that starship trait.

I know what this ship makes me think of:
Nice kinda see it abit. THough i would love one for a pet, or even a race based of them.
