    Zero bleedthrough from the console...hmmmm. What counts as a "normal attack"?

    Lt. ENG x2? Well, here's an escort that can run A2Bx2 that's not a bug.

    Edit: It says you can equip the console on any ship, so why is it called out in the Tier 5 that it can equip it?

    with a COM and TLC tac, 2 AtB is kinda pointless. you already have 2 of everything you could want. with only 1 sci, healing will have to get a bit creative.

    for this thing, i would have preferred

    COM tac
    LTC sci
    LT eng
    LT eng
    ENS tac

    now that would be a 2 AtB dream ship.


    Shield Modifier: .7


    are you ****ting me :mad:

    I can almost guarantee that it's the same "bug" that plagues the Tier 2/3 'scorts.

    i will be trying to figure that out immediately, just bought it. i want to support ships like this added to the game. even if it is loaded up on extra, the effect from field projectors, and the regeneration is based on the shield modifier, and not the hitpoint total. so the extra can be very nice, its what makes the ships usable at all, it does have some down sides

    Hi Captains,

    Steam will be updating the text for the VA version of the Steamrunner -- it should actually list a shield modifier of 1, not .7 .

    Cheers,

    SO no bleedthrough plus higher resists for escorts, why does this game have a healing class again?

    I'm like this >.< close to just uninstalling and calling it quits GW2 or MWO?

    TSI seems to have migrated to GW2. The Pandas are in MWO, in force and already adding new potential members to our regular vent guests. :)

    Well then, I need to find all the threads where I answered folks who asked me what could be done to update Engineers, fix what I thought was missing from them based on Ground vs. Space, and all that fun stuff...

    ...I usually answered that it could be found with Sci or in the C...er...Z Store.

    Who would have thought that it could be found in the Steam store too?

    Not the Steamrunner - but the console.

    20% shield resistence and 0 bleed from weapons for 12 seconds. no skills effect it, it simply does that. any ship can use it.


    regardless of what branflakes said, in game my mkXII maco has a tool tip capacity of 4940, thats terrabad .7 mod for sure. not just a typo, its in game too.

    LOL, I mean really? Yeah, this game sucks right now. It used to be great with lots of potential, now I just don't see anyway that they can balance PvP w/o upsetting all those that paid a lot of money for their toys. This is just more proof that cryptic QA sucks and they should have listened to us 2 years ago when we offered our assistance in that department.

    Thanks. Could you also check the cooldown? Is it 2m, 3m, 5m?

    instead of being a HAHAHA everyone that bought a fleet patrol is a sucker escort, the steam runner should have been like a fed version of the vorcha.

    Lets face it, each console and ship addition to this game has just made PvP worse and worse. To be honest it's really past the point of no return now.

    I'd drop this game in seconds if another game came out with similar space mechanics...

    I agree fully.

    But I'm still not sure that that's not exactly what Cryptic wanted; Wreck it so much that all the current pvp'ers leave and we can start again with a new, less jaded pvp'er base.

    They should probably put the shields at .99 or whatever else the biggest escorts have. Does the turn rate make up for the difference?
