You know, there's something I think at least a few of you guys are overlooking with the principle of a T6 Chel Gret.
Yes, it has a Trait, it'll have Specialist Seats.. but there's a little cherry on the icing.
It's going to have a Console, an Upgraded version of the Chel's original Console. What makes it special? PASSIVE BONUS EFFECT. It's the same cherry on the cake for the T6 Jem'Hadar Carriers, is that the upgraded console has a passive bonus on it as well as the core effect.
I'm hoping there will be cosmetic alterations we can make on the new version, because I'm sure the Breen have had plenty of time to upgrade the original Chel Gret over the years with their constant raiding and pillaging around the Defera sectors.
I'm just happy to be getting another free End Game ship.
Not that I need it at this point, but it's always good for new players and my admiralty collection.

indeed, I have more T6 ships then you can shake a stick at some I have never even used but if its free I wont be looking that gift horse in the mouth even if I as well only use it for admiralty.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

Honestly, that's the part to which I'm looking forward the most. The Breen Rezreth & Sarr Theln have amazing admiralty cards, if the new one follows suit it's gonna be great.
Yeah, regardless of what the free T6 event ship will be, I will get it so that I can have the admiralty card.
It should not take a lot of time to grind for the ship anyway. Once I get accustomed to the "Fastest Game On Ice" again, it should only take about 3 minutes to do the race.
T6 Breen Warship would be nice, the T6 Breen Raider would be somewhat better - T5 version was needed to buy Breen fregate hangar pets, so T6 Breen Raider will propably work here too...
I play every day, have for over 5 years now, and no I do not see any such talk. In fact I've not seen anyone in any chat channel I use that has said anything positive or negative about Breen ships.
Possibly because you don't live in a confirmation-bias echo chamber.
I can't confirm or deny negative chatter about Breen ships, since I turn off Zone chat. The reason that I turn it off is also the reason that I wouldn't trust it to give me an accurate read of what the players think about a Breen ship for the event, by the way. Zone chat seems to be filled with a lot of people who, among other things, gripe about absolutely everything. The channels that I do use have had zero talk about the ship from the event, one way or another.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.
My question is, will we have another Breen ship given the 4 special Breen consoles that are out there already? I guess it is possible for T6 treatment of the older ones since the Jem'Hadar ships received that treatment, but it would seem overly saturated with the amount of Breen ships compared to other non-faction specific ships (exception to the total Dominion ships because of T6 treatment).
But if I were to ask for anything Breen related, I would fancy for one of them Breen exo suits.
Well another year has passed and it's almost time for the next Winter Event, I don't know about you, but I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to a new ship, just not sure what it'll be. I'm assuming a T6 Chel Grett Warship, what do you guys think it will be?... or perhaps some inside information?!?!? I also really hope they bring back a way to earn previous ships, I missed last winter but I really want to complete my Breen collection.
It's highly, highly unlikely a T6 Chel Grett will be done, I mean the only difference will be a Trait and Specialized seating. It's going to be most likely a Sci vessel, as that's the only class not releasedclass I'm hoping for.
This line of hopeful reasoning was tried on the summer event, and we got the Nandi...event releases don't necessarily follow patterns, so despite complaints in other threads, we're not getting a Risian sci ship. Besides, why would they go to any more effort than needed, when they can just upgrade a seat, add a trait, and re-gift the Chell Grett?
First, it is highly doubtful that any percentage of the playerbase resembling a majority has a unified opinion on anything. Second, the event ships are decided at least 6 months in advance so there is no possibility of a change being made at this point.

So:
1 - Specialist seat access with 1 more total boff ability, check
2 - Trait, which even if mediocre, is more than the t5u, check
3 - Improved console, in every way the same but with a passive effect, check
Thus, even if it is a t6 CG, it's still demonstrably better...if my toons aren't flying it, that's because their build/preference is not for escorts and destroyers, not because it's not a good ship
I like Breen ships. Therefore I am happy to get more Breen ships.
And yeah... a ghost of the new ship was seen on tribble. It's t6 Chel.
Was under the impression that the design contest for the Lukari ship was for the winter event.
Anyway, if it is breen then i hope for T6 science and especially a Cryo based secondary deflector. I want to equip a science vessel with full breen.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
We don't have the stats yet, but I'm guessing you'll change your mind when you see them. It's pretty much guaranteed to be better.
If it follows the pattern of the Cardassian-Dominion T6 upgrades, it's pretty much guaranteed to NOT be better. It will be the same ship, with the same stats, same layout, with only a trait and a low-rank spec seat or two to distinguish it. Maybe with a switchable but not mix-and-matchable reskin.
Unless it has a really OP trait, it'll be +1 to the card collection, nothing more.
Interesting phrasing since you basically said it WILL be better. Adding a trait and spec seating makes any ship better.
In your opinion. I've never had a high opinion of spec seating and unless the trait is actually good enough to use over the dozens of C-Store/lockbox options (which is unlikely), it's going to be yet another in a long list of traits to grind and forget...or just forget.

Lukari ship historically will be the anniversary ship along with a new "special" mission we have to grind. (Dyson Destroyer with Step Between Stars, and Kobali Samsar with whatever that mission was)
they told us the Lukari ship was for the anniversary when we voted.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
I could go for them updating the chel's console with better stats, but not adding a new console. Though than adding a new weapon that comes with it, which is part of the Breen set, which would make it that much easier to run the set in different degrees by not needing to lose a total of five console slots to run a full breen set.
In the past I used to fly the Chell as a light science topedo boat ...if it has command, I'll likely do the same and abuse concentrate firepower and maybe even possibly 'breen it up' with transphasic and polaron

You get the reward for the first run of the new episode. In what world is running something once a grind? The part that you have to repeat is the daily, and very few complain about that, since you get pieces for those uber upgrade kits by doing it.

free ship? they deleted all of my characters for this account and refuse to return my tickets. i just hope i can get an explanation... also if i have had an account since 2012, why can i not start my own post?

Year 3 gave us the Ent C just for DOING the mission. But in year 4 for Dyson Destroyer you needed 1000 of the anniversary qmendations for 4th anniversary. You got 400 the first time you ran the mission, then got 40? every time after that? Same for Kobali Samsar for year 5. 400 the first run through, then 40 every time after that. Thus forcing you to grind the mission over and over again:
“A Step Between Stars”: A stand-alone feature mission with Tim Russ making his debut in Star Trek Online by voicing Admiral Tuvok. During the time of the anniversary event, the mission also rewards 400 [Anniversary Qmendation]s and one of three versions of a Solanae EV suit on its first playthrough per character: [Solanae Enforcer Environmental Suit], [Solanae Marksman Environmental Suit], [Solanae Striker Environmental Suit].
The Kobali Samsar Cruiser can be earned by completing the “Collect 2015 Anniversary Event Rewards” Event Reputation project during the 5 Year Anniversary Event. While this limited-time project requires a total of 1000 Anniversary Qmendation icon.png, the player is rewarded with 400 of these tokens as a one-time bonus the first time they complete the Feature Episode, “Dust to Dust” during the event. (The Samsar appears in this episode as an NPC starship and its bridge appears as a location.)

Not this again... it's a Carrier, with a science focus. Not. Science. Ship.
Not that I'm bothered by Breen ships, but I would love some more Andorian ships.
