    Hmm..

    "Upon reaching Level 5 in your Breen Plesh Tral Heavy Raider [T6], you will unlock the Cold-Hearted Starship Trait. With this trait active, activating Auxiliary Power to Emergency Battery, or any Pilot Bridge Officer Ability, will cause your energy weapons to afflict foes with a debuff which Slows, Power Drains, and reduces Damage Resistance. This effect stacks multiple times on each foe damaged."

    Sounds interesting.. I have a couple characters that run Aux2Bat builds. I'll give it a shot just to try the trait. Otherwise, it's a free ship so cool.. but really not all that into this one.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Nope, not really floating my boat this one....not enough to make me toil my way through the grind of Q's winter lagland....but good for those who want it, its nice to get stuff for nothing. I'm not really into soft squishy escorts.

    I've got a personal policy to pick up all of the free event ships. Something about the exclusivity of the account unlock is tough to let pass.

    Anybody have the numbers on the Trait this comes with? Damage Resistance reduction amount in particular is of interest to me.

    STOUnrefined posted a video on this ship:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_flStmHb1pA

    Stats for the trait it comes with:
    Deals to enemies hit with energy weapons after Auxiliary Power to Emergency Battery, or any Pilot Bridge Officer Ability, per stack:
    -9.1% Flight Speed
    -10 All Damage Resistance Rating
    -2 Current and Maximum All Subsystem Power
    5 Stacks Maximum (from all sources)

    Looks impressive for Aux2Bat boats, or ships that are using a lot of Pilot BOff abilities.

    Console Passives:
    26.6% Polaron Damage
    +25 Control Expertise

    The 25 Control X looks very nice for a Sci-heavy build, so if you're flying the Sarr Theln with Control abilities, this is definitely worth looking into getting. 26.6% Polaron damage would have to be Category 1 (works like a standard Tac console), so it's nice but not jaw dropping. Very nice to get on a Rezreth, if you're running Polaron, to compensate for having only 3 Tac consoles.


    Anybody dropped the Lobi to grab this on a live server or Tribble test server and can give a performance review of the trait on an Aux2Bat boat?

    Exactly. Worst case, it's a decent account wide admiralty card.

    Though I am rather enjoying mine.

    What a disappointment. I only do the event for the admiralty free ship.​​

    I am not a huge fan of this ship either, but the trait might be mildly useful and of course.. it's a free admiralty card so it's worth the 3 minutes a day that I spend unlocking it.

    The only Breen ship I have really liked is the Rezreth. I had a lot of fun with that ship, it can be quite a power house and I actually like the look. This one does pretty much nothing for me.

    Event ship cards work great as filler cards, hard to go wrong with them.

    Will probably go straight to drydock but I can always use another admiralty card.

    No need to drydock ships that can be freely reclaimed.

    I’m sorry if this was asked already, but I couldn’t find it. Will the Breen raider frigate pets be upgraded with the new T6 effects? It’s weird to fly my sleek black Breen carrier with the updated effects and launch the frigates with the old Breen look.

    A friend of mine got the new breen raider already and we went into pvp to test the traits effectiveness. One thing lacking on the lengthy description for the trait is the length of the debuff which is 15 seconds. When it is reapplied, since it can stack, the timer is also reapplied. Also the debuff can be cleared by hazard emitters.

    If they run out of Breen ships, I hope they re-run previous events for the people that missed them.

    I know, but one can still hope. The 'event ship' part of the Phoenix Box is a joke, and not a very good one.

    those are the same ships as they were available at that time.

    Except for apparently being lockbox-style per character unlocks instead of going in the account reclaim store where they belong.

    They changed that to give the middle finger to anyone who wasn't around for the events.

    So it's a boy ship! XD

    Anyhow, I am curious how all the Breen consoles will work on this one. o.o

    :lol::lol:

    A little bottom surgery, and it'll be fine (I am actually curious as to how unbalanced the design looks to fly, or wether it might actually work as being vaguely symmetrical... On the topic of 'dangly bits under the bottom', that's the exact reason why I've never tried any of that line of science vessels :lol: )

    I actually had spare Lobi crystals (was saving for a T6 Lobi ship) and decided to drop all my Lobi on Winter event vouchers... still had to run that horrid Fastest Game On Ice event a few times but have to say, disappointed with this ship

    I have an exceptionally funny feeling I either have the wrong load out or simply don’t know how to use it however the majority of encounters I go into with this ship literally melt my wee raider like a chocolate teapot

    Even saved up enough Winter Event ornaments to get the Breen Warp Core so it has the full Breen set and... nothing special

    Kinda wishing I went with a T6 Lobi ship now - also I regard myself as a filthy casual to this game, despite being part of a fleet, so there’s a good chance I’m not utilising this to its full capability...

    Any ideas on where a raider would be best suited for?

    I've used raiders in just about everything short of the elite only stuff. and even if you choose to use both breen sets it shouldn't be that weak. post your build in the academy or powers and builds section of the forum. lets see what the problem is and get you some help.

    and never use lobi on event tokens it's really not worth it in less you really like the ship and have no other choice.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,916 Arc User
    I never use lobi to get the vouchers. I'm content to run the race and get them that way. It's stupid easy to 'beat' your opponent, or sometimes you get lucky and you don't have an opponent. Either way I rarely 'lose' and only fail if I somehow accidentally get out of bounds while running.

    I'm not a big raider class fan, but it'll make a nice admiralty card for my toons who don't use them and I'll load it up for the few who would use it and try it out.

    Like nightken said, post your build somewhere so others can examine it and give you some advice on how to make it better.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
