Yes it is, but I think you're looking too high. I was talking about the two green splotches between the Jem'Hadar fighters on the last posted pic.

Ah...I hve a dark monitor....had to brighten things to see those.
They look like jemmie bugs : just blurred and darker (to me).

I really cant imagine the VFX teams made new ship designs (or even used the Rom-about) without shouting it from the rafters for all to hear.
The STTM would have probably noted it or Eaves at least (if he designed it).

I was thinking there might be easter eggs in there though (SW ships and the like).

The "surely they didn't make new designs" argument is a potentially good one . . . but I don't see any way around the idea that those aren't something we saw before for any of these fleets.

They could've been designs intended for something else, or modified Voyager designs, or something Jim-Bob made in his spare time . . . what-have-you.

Interesting. But it's no bug. I've enlarged the first image, the ship just "behind" the phaser beam. Notice that the ship is green, not purple (or blue for that matter, if it's close enough to the phaser beam).

Could it be a tactical fighter with some strange lighting/shadow effects?

Must be a frigate, notice the similarities. The only problem seems to be where the wings (outlined) show up on the screenshot. The green lights, and elongated nose with curved upper section running the length of the ship are visibly similar.

Is your large pic there a screen capture? Very clear shot of a very ugly ship...

It doesn't work.

1. The scale is wrong, though I grant that Stipes smoked crack and could've let this slip through. However, presuming that he is innocent of cracksmoking until proven guilty, the scale is wrong.
2. The image you've used for comparison is part of the shot. However, the selected image ignores the symmetry I showed by use of a better-lit vessel at another angle. The same long section is there which you point to as being the center of the Breen ship, but there is a similar object on the opposite lateral side (though, due to its position, it does not reflect as much light).

The large image is a publicity photo from EAS.

Although the long sections appear to be the same I agree that this image shows the scale to be way off. I still think it's the Breen frigate since no one has come up with another ship that it could be.

Yes, and in Star Trek they never rescale an existing model when they need a new ship.
