Its a free ship...and people complain. All you need to do is a easy daily and people complain. I suppose people expect to be handed free ships for just showing up...
It doesn't matter, if it was 100% free for just logging in folks would be angry that it was bound, or that it didn't have a special console, or have 10 consoles slots like a fleet ship. And if it was super mega awesome folks would say it was OP and made the ships they had to work for worhless because now everyone flys in an super ship and its not "Trek" because now everyone flys it and ruins the games immersion.
Its much easier to read the forums when you ignore folks angry for no reason.
I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.
I was really surprised there is no lockbox involved here.
While I'm very happy that it takes 25 runs to get it, I'm still wary that there is a catch somewhere.
Still if there isn't, this is the best surprise I got from this game from a long time.
So to get the breen, 25 days to get it, ok, now is the "free" breen ship the same one thatll be placed in the lobi store or is this like the ody "first mission" where we get the ship but not all the cool goodies that go with it?

Well to get it via lobi you'd buy the autographed pictures of Q to shore up your stack of those to 1,000. They are supplied by "Q's Appreciation Package" which costs 5 lobi and provides 2-6 of the autographs. So yes, it's the same ship. However, the lobi pricing is not very attractive unless you've run the race several times to generate a large stack of the pictures. Even then, that doesn't seem like a very good deal to me for the lobi price, but it is an option.
I'll sell you some weapons from New Romulus. Never fired, only dropped once.
If it is yet another Sci ship, my head may well explode.....
It would actually make sense for it to be a Science Cruiser. It would complete the "Dominion Set" of the Jem'Hadar escort, Cardassian cruiser, and Breen science vessel.
OK, why the heck would a Starfleet or Klingon captain ever want to fly a Breen ship (or a Ferengi Maurader or Cardassian cruiser, for that matter)?
Why can't players think outside the box a little. I have a Galor on one of my characters and his back story (which I have yet to put on his profile) indicates he was abandoned in a research labratory from the Dominion War and was liberated by the Federation. He has since been assingned as a Cardassian Liaison for the fleet he is in. He is a faux Cardassian (Alien).
so, How many days are left? I have no idea when the Christmass Event started.
It starts tomorrow. Runs till Jan 14th.

And how many hours are there in 25 days again? Anyone? :rolleyes:
After subtracting time spent commuting, in meetings at work, having conversations with people who have the mental capacity of a walnut, time spent at home playing with my 1yr old and cleaning up his trail of destruction, eating food, inputting rep system requirements for 10 different characters?
Not much. :P
I'm kidding, I think this is a great idea on Cryptic's part and I don't need to have the Breen ship on 10 characters. A few mins a day for a free ship is definitely worth it.

Because his/her superiors have acquired this ship and don't want it to go to waste. Remember captains don't normally get to choose what ship they want to command.
Let's see what the specs are before committing to another grind - if it just looks different, but offers no new functionality it won't be a priority for me.
My inner cynic suggests that it may have special weapons or an ability console that is only usable on the ship, but which must be purchased seperately via the lobi store.

a minute later a new thread opens up : "Why only 30 days! that's unfair" :rolleyes:
To which the devs would extend it back out to 32 days, then people would praise or hate them for the 'compromise'. :P
This is one of those "Funny cuz it's true" posts.
That's not a new complaint. Much like it won't be new when we hear the lament that Breen BOffs only come in the tactical variety.

But its risky for the atmosphere of theTrek-Universe. Maybe there will be Breen everywhere. And why a starfleet captain would fly a Breen-ship?
so you probably know the specs for the ship and you already know that everyone will leave their fleet defiants or other ships to fly the breen one.
Any other premonitions?
We won't know till they release the stats sometime Wednesday...
You should probably just stop playing this game, your Trekkie sensibilities aren't likely to be able to handle the sacrilege.
For NPCs, it's more of a sci/cruiser that can use cannons. No idea if that will carry over to the player version.
will the Breen-Set get an additional bonus if it is equipped on the breen ship?
like the 2800-Set does for the galor/jem'hadar ship?

STO is about making money with minimum effort now rather than being "Star Trek" hence why we can now fly around in all manner of ships

I dont remember to be forced to use it.
requires imagination ,a average IQ and common sense.
