TL, DW summary:
The good: Easily the most powerful science vessel, even before taking the consoles into account.
- Good balance of stats relative to the Fleet Science classes
- Hangar, Universal bridge officers and choice of 10th console slot add flexibility with no downside
- Consoles range from the 'very handy' to the 'this might be a touch OP'.
- Aux cannon give it a serious bite for a science vessel and remove the compromise between weapon and aux power, further adding to the flexibility of the design.
The bad: The price! $50 is pretty close to a full AAA title and $25 is the kind of money where I think before buying. Would not have bought this, powerful as it is, if I hadn't been planning on doing the video.
- Similarly, it would be interesting to see how much money the Steamrunner made when it was $10 as opposed to $25.
The ugly: Not entirely sold on the looks, but that's personal taste and extremely borderline. After 5 days of looking I can't pin down why I'm not sold on it (as opposed to the Chimera, where my instant response was 'that's ugly and here's why'.

BTW I'm stealing some of your build for my STF Vesta. :P
I also added the Tachykinetic Console with the Borg Console & Theta Radiation Console. Works pretty well on Elite STFs for my Joined Trill Engineer.
But I am curious when I reach the IV tier Romulan & Omega reputation tiers to see how the Vesta, and other ships, will tank/damage.
Im a fan of your youtube video's
I will be copying your skill plan asap.
Please can you tell me what duty officers you use please. e.g blue Flight deck doffs.
also what do you feel to be the best race of bridge officer for this ship human for leadership ?
thank you
I look forward to seeing your next video.
DOffs were simply what I had handy, I didn't even look at those when I was setting the ship up and boff races...can't honestly say it's ever made a massive difference to me, which probably just illustrates how many advanced tricks and tweaks I'm missing.
