    think again. That Shield Modifier is a nasty cut. Good if you're starting out and a solid VA ship but nowhere near my Fleet Defiant. Good BO layout but you'll be armor tanking a lot.

    You may be right. It has fewer shields than the defiant, fewer turnrate, and it exchanges tac ens. for sci and sci lt. for eng. lt. On the other side you get more hull, (crew), and another eng console slot. Would be nice too compare both ingame

    I'm not saying its a bad ship. But its not a ship that'll replace my fleet defiant. At 10 bucks for the 2 ships its a pretty good deal. Buuuut. Optional not required.

    Interesting that the console is basically a variation on the Sci Capt. ability Scattering Field.

    The VA ship's low Shield Mod seems to be the only downside, and it's a bit surprising that a $10 (on sale) pack includes a 10 console ship. Hmm... I wonder if it's like the Fleet ships with odd shield modifiers, in that due to the way skills are handled actually give more shields than you might expect.

    For a starter pack, it seems fairly decent, so long as it's 'on sale' most of the time. An extra two BOffs to start you off, and a decent starter weapons load-out for both ground and space. Since people are constantly asking about getting a ship at VA, this seems like it might go over well for many new players.

    Is this exclusive to Steam? I can't find it in Cryptic's store.

    Don't tell em it's a 10 dollar purchase that can't be bought with zen. We needs these fanboys throwing cash at PWE to keep this game going b'cause us klinks don't have the numbers with all the recent departures.

    At least for now, probably something to do with it being the Steamrunner class after all. On the other paw, $10 for a single ship (like you need the Tier 1 ship or the Mk 2 gear and BOffs) for veterans. Good for new players and it's an account unlock too.

    I TOTALLY CALLED IT IN THE MAINTENANCE THREAD! ITS A GOOD DAY. Shame about it being a Steam exclusive though, it wont last thankfully. As soon as it gets into the C-store I will test its shield mod to see if its like the fleet ships.

    Ain't that the truth. The only way things would be evened up if KDF had to pay six times whatever FED pays.

    BAH...the true steam runner class would have a tricobalt torp and a phaser beam array

    and said tricobalt would be on a 30 sec cool down lol

    at least thats how i would see it.....Thank you Star Trek Armada 2 :P

    $10 is too pricy for 2 ships imo...especially with it being a steam exclusive...for now

    LOL, my first impulse when I saw this was to make a Tricobalt torpedo boat in honor of how I used to have them pummel starbases in Armada 2.

    You're joking right? $10 is half the price of even the "cheap" VA ships. This is a juggernaut of value. When the price goes up to the full $25, that's different.

    Hmm, with that layout, could make an interesting Aux2Bat build with it.

    Edit:
    I just noticed, this thing is a 10-console ship. Hmm.

    yep. dual a2b, just like i use on my bug (at least in good team pvp and pve). stf or pug pvp, gotta have that sci lt.

    same shield and hull as the bug, too. just 5 less turn, but with an sci console in place of the 5th tac. not a bad ship at all....

    ok i got one. heres what the console actually does

    reduces damage to teams sheild by 20% for 12 seconds

    prevents normal damage from bleedthru for your team for 12 seconds.


    its not a bad console, but good for a new char when your ships suck.

    also trust it to be named team fortress........ sneaky steam.......

    I agree. The Federation shipyard is a sad state of affairs. So many ships, too many even.
    I don't intend to buy another Fed ship until they release a real carrier, one with like 3 turning speed, 2 weapons fore and aft and 4 hangar bays.


    However, I did purchase this Steamrunner pack. The VA retrofit is terrible. Going for a full DPS build on a tactical character just doesn't work. You can do loads of damage for about 15 seconds until it gets blown to pieces. Its base shield modifier cripples it too much.
    It has 10 console slots, but you sacrifice one for the new console which isn't that great anyway.

    The rest of the pack is very useful for anyone starting a new character though, especially an entry levele ship running 4 console slots. But then again, anyone who already has a VA will most probably be able to kit out a new character with good gear and Boff's anyway...

    I will prob turn this into a torpedo boat as well. Managed to crit 400k damage yesterday in an STF using Tricobalt Mines and Dispersal Pattern Beta III :D

    I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Branflakes has confirmed that the shield modifier is wrong. It should have a 1.0 shield modifier.

    Man I'm STOked. I've been waiting for the Steamrunner forever!

    And I've been planning on getting a Klingon Sci for my Sci Alt on the Federation Side, so this starter pack is perfect for her!

    Sorry. I really can't squee enough here. *rushes to laugh in hysterical madness*

    I can't wait to switch from my saber to this!

    It's too bad the fleet quality trend for C-store ships started after the armitage/regent/excelsior though.

    That actually sucks somewhat. If they continue to take this route, it'll only be Norwegians playing with the Norway Class upon release. :rolleyes:

    Well Zephyr skin for heavy escort was "steamrunner" more or less.
