Oh, fast, short range, anti-support breen cruisers for the win! Even sacrificing the ssec for the 360 firing arc would be nice. Better than sacrificing the cloak, unless we want to create a new big evil bugship.  :woot:

Hmm... hmm...

I really like the idea of the Breen energy torps doing more damages and/or draining energy based on the targets system value - The latter being the better and fitting the Breen the best IMO. But then the Battleship would get that ability aswell, or is that not a bad thing. But it does have the Dampening Torp, sooooo....

Breen Cruiser idea: Remove its curret passive. Replace it with this passive:


Energy Draining Warheads
-This Breen ship's torpedoes have been fitted with a light form of energy draining technology. This causes each torpedo to have a chance (30%) to drain special weapon energy from the target, which is then transfered to Breen's energy stores. The amount drained depends on the targets system value, the higher the vaule, the greater the draining effect is. Also to maximize energy draining, the torpedo locks onto the energy source to increase sure hits and energy draining, therefore, the miss rate of the torpedoes is decreased. But since this energy transfer device takes up space inside the torpedo, there is less room for the EM device, so a smaller, less effective one was designed. This smaller EM device only deals 5% bonus damage to battleships, instead of 20%. Also Breen scientists tested this weapon against the Borg, and due to the Borg's complex technology, the draining effect seems to be less effective on them.


This way, cloaking would be easier because its energy would refill quickly. Keep cloaking as has to be researched, but increase the Breen Cruiser's (and the Battleship's) speed. Pweeeeeaaassweeee.

Thanks anyway for reading. Opinions?

I agree with the sentiment of anything but removing the cloak.  At the moment each race except Borg have an opportunity to cloak (even if only through mixed-tech) and I like this possibility.

borg can just assimilate a cloaking ship and have cloaked scouts too lol.

Didn't think of that  :wub:

I don't think the warheads should actually give energy to the Breen, since there would have to be some kind of path back from the ship that got hit (just doesn't make sens no matter how much technobabble is slathered on.)
I think that the Breen cloak should indeed be different than the others, making it so easy to regain energy really fast would make it be just like a Klingon cloak in usage. I don't like the current Breen Cruiser cloak either, I think more of a balance between a Klingon cloak and current Breen cloak without anything adding energy to it would be good.

True, but the draining is only 30% chance per torp. Plus the bonus damage to battleships is greatly reduced.

EDIT: Well, if the energy does not get transfered to the Breen ship, then how about it is just drained into nothingness?
