I was planning on spending time with my family this Christmas. Now I've got to get this for all my alts. The family will just have to suck it up.

There is no custom bridge/ interior for this ship.

Edit. Retracted statement although I love to complain about things just to see something made better because of it... My original statements weren't justified in the matter of the short term of this ship and it being made basically free unless you can't wait 25 days lol.
Although I thought I remember hearing there was some talk about trying to make bridges functionality more useful. I do have a few ideas which may have been mentioned before but may help in the future of putting more emphasis on making sure ships have custom bridges or bridge packs available to specialize with ships. The idea mostly rests on besides art which is the big thing but mini games primarily. The secondary non-art thing I think bridges should have to make them feel more like bridges is something around what you all have done with new romulus red alerts. So for example say I as a player pick up a daily and some high ranking official gives me a random daily and what happens is that daily basically tells me I am assigned to such and such sector and then when you enter the bridge there at random times a red alert could pop and using the bridge of the ship as an anchor that it could randomly pick any scenario for that given sector. Which could be anything from removing boarding parties off, rescueing npcs or something, or possibly some kind of combat or non combat mini games.
Anyways I just hope that in some future or possibly near future season we see something like the not having custom bridges changing but for most part I do understand since its going to be free over time like most anything else in the game

Disappointing but not surprising. Can't put too much into a free ship. Here is an idea then. Once the Andorian ship comes out later, how about a couple of bridge packs.
i hate to break it to you 'nanner nanner lol pvp sucks' pve'ers, but you are playing a game built for pvp with a bunch of pve stuck in it. the 3 ship types are obviously built to have strengths and weaknesses and meant to work together to combat each other. you all hate pvp because you wouldn't last 5 seconds against mewi or my self, you cant even use your ships to 10% of their potential. i honestly have no idea how you can stay interested in this game by just playing the pve, the npcs you face over and over are horrible, and have trained you to be horrible as well.
but do not fear, learning how to actually play to your ships potential is very easy, and pvp'ers would love to have you join our ranks, you just have to be willing to learn, and willing to listen. based on most of the attack comments to mewi though, i dout most of you are capable of that
:O I'm taking the opportunity to advertise PvP Boot Camp for PvEers who are interested in some actual fun.
[EDIT] PvP being the actual fun seeing that PvE is one massZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... (see I even fell asleep when talking about PvE)
Interesting stats, a Destroyeresque layout. Was expecting the Breen ship to be a type of Cruiser. Could've seen this as more of a Heavy Science build. Just replace that LT Tactical with another LT Engineering.
Though surprised on 10 console slots for a free ship. While nice, be nicer if we got a 10th console for our C-store ships (especially the refits).
Yes I added it to the blog earlier today. To get to Q's WW, you need to be 5+ (Fed) or 24+ (KDF).

Thanks !
I'll get to buying/leveling that Ferasan asap then !
EDIT : just noted that you've added the ranks to Q's WW blog (by Borticus) .
It would not hurt to add this info to this blog (breen ship blog) and also to any future blog that is related to Q's WW .
Yeah, why bother with game balance anymore!? Lets just sell noobs eyecandy for "free", ignoring the fact that we are further killing the game. Yeah what a plan!
i must answer this most of noobs are vet. players u have all stuff in game almost for free as spoiled kids... f2p players always try to be better ... with that have in game for free or hard work get items
WTF???? Why is everybody complaining for stuff in game????
Do those brats always have to have everything best and everything new immediately?
Rising a child in the believe that everything best should be theirs?
I have no words....
Why should all ships have same power, weapons, consoles? What balance are they talking about?
Have you ever watched any of the tv series or movies?
If it should bebalanced, then Kelvin would have no problem dealing with the Narada, Enterprise would not have to rush to Wolf359 etc... I bet ther are many more examples. Ships can't be all same power and same equipment. There would be no use for class then.
But I know " I HAVE TO HAVE THE BEST I GAME" applies here as well i guess. As everywhere in life.... pappa and mami gave you everything you pointed at and when some child has better, you step on him, right?
Interesting stats, a Destroyeresque layout. Was expecting the Breen ship to be a type of Cruiser.
Yeah, that really surprised me as well. I'm not sure why Cryptic went out of their way to make the ship a heavy science escort, they even went out of the way to rename it from Chel Grett Cruiser to Chel Grett Warship.
The way the NPCs dump debuffs on you, I kinda expected a Science cruiser setup with a decent turn rate. We've had so many ships with a Tactical bias lately, I would have liked to see something a little different.

Not that I really mind it, but Science was also used a lot, recently (Wells/Korath, Vesta, Recluse, Orb Weaver.
I really would have liked a sci-cruiser. On the other hand, it can use DHC, and that really begs for tac Boff slots, so... why not?
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
for a free ship its pretty nice and i mean its better than moust ships out there even the mirror ones and a universal free console so stop this if you dont want it dont get it if you want a better ship buy one from store or fleet counterparts.
I mean... this thing is truly fantastic, but I hope it's not going to set a precedent that could render every other ship in Tier 5 obsolete!
I believe that's the point. This thing is a giant escort more or less, with fleet ship stats ad cruiser level weapons and defences almost as good as a cruiser's. I would say this outshines quite a few fleet ships easily and may very well be indicative of what the future of ship design will be. After all, they need to have something new that people will want since so many already have fleet/lockbox ships. It really feels like they're positioning this new type of ship as an eventual T6 +1 (assigning Fleet and lockbox ships as an unnamed T6)
I just have to ask, why is it that its never actual Starfllet/KDF vessels that get the good stuff? Why is it always NPC factions? The closest we got were the timeships.
Does this mean there will be more Breen ships? perhaps a lockbox one.
Great another Energy drain weapon for the Klingons to use in PVP any other bright ideas their cryptic.. or is Balance not something you care about... and yes I know feds will have it to guess what Feds have less energy drain weapons then the Klingons and their killing us in PVP because of it! but I guess you guys already knew that .... here's a thought fix it so we can have a balanced game.... or let me guess then people wont buy ships for consoles so they can win that's right this is not about a good game anymore its about pay to win...here is my shoked face (: - 0

Hmmm....let's see. The ship is being offered to Starfleet and the KDF equally, will be the same ship, and perform identically for both sides.
Yet somehow, it's an unbalanced addition to the game because the KDF gets it as well as Starfleet?
Yeeeeah. Not like the Federation hasn't already gotten multiple ships from the KDF side, as well as more powerful additions on top of that.:rolleyes:
It's not working for me either. Or rather, the link does work, but it takes me a blank blog page which includes the message: "No posts found. Try a different search?"
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.

I think the page itself has been removed. I know yesterday, several MMO game forums were subjected to a hacking attack, so it's possible STO got hit as well.

That ship has it all!
A cruiser with commander tactical seating and lieut-commander science! 8 weapons! 10 consoles! 13 Turn Rate!
Wow!
In the hands of my engineer, it will also compensate for the lack of engineer seats.
Can`t wait to have one! Woot!
Disappointing but not surprising. Can't put too much into a free ship. Here is an idea then. Once the Andorian ship comes out later, how about a couple of bridge packs.
KDF Alliance Bridge Pack: Orion, Nausican, Gorn, Breen bridges
UFP Alliance Bridge Pack: D'Kyr, Kumari, Atrox, Breen Bridges
Even if they are just the bridge without any interior, it would sell.
Looking forward to trying it out.
/this please

Indeed! I just found Branflakes on New Romulus and gave him a preview.
Had 7 snowballs left over and knocked him down twice!

Not if you think about it.
It is free today, but I bet like the Jem ship, it will likely end up in a doff pack or something down the road when people get a second chance at it.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
One thought was to add C.B.S. (Confederate Breen Ship), which also serves to be a pun on CBS.
For faction specific:
F.B.S. (Federation Breen Ship)
K.B.S. (Klingon Breen Ship).
