For 2500z I gotta say I might just finally pick up that little ship. Always had a fondness for it's design but not the steam method of aquisition.
Anyone else gonna jump on this?
Already had it, but I know a few people who didn't want to get Steam to get it (ironically, they had no issues installing ARC, but whatever), so they may end up grabbing it.
Unfortunately, it's not a T6 ship so I also have the feeling people who may have wanted it some time ago would no longer desire it since it isn't T6, despite being just as good.
I play via steam I just didn't like the 'get a code, find the hidden website, enter, hope it works' part.
I'll admit I was kinda hoping she'd return as a t6 pilot or something myself but I don't mind the t5u, at this point even my cheap TRIBBLE has more ship traits than I'll ever slot
STO isn't canon, and neither are any of the books.

Its good to see the Steamrunner coming back. And the T5's Admiralty card is pretty useful with the -5% Maintenance per any ship. And the console is actually a good team support console.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

But still, only an endgame Norway and Yeger to go now.
Edit: Obviously the Sovereign, Sabre, and Nova will need canon skins making as the other DS9 ships have.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

As for me, I was about to install Steam and buy it there when they announced it was removed, so I have been waiting for them to announce this. I am getting it day 1.

I think, per @iconians' point, that this more firmly opens the door for a T6 Steamrunner.
Yes, this bundle does not have a T6 ship... but, now that it's decoupled from Steam AND got a skin update... it helps its case, IMO. Might be a while, though.
But still, only an endgame Norway and Yeger to go now.
Edit: Obviously the Sovereign, Sabre, and Nova will need canon skins making as the other DS9 ships have.
T6 Sovy may be coming next month if the Attack Wing promo is any indication. Promo version, most likely followed by a C-Store version.
That's still no guarantee it'll have a new skin. The Excelsior and TMPConni dodn't.

The Sovy is an Endgame ship, other endgame ships have been getting T6 makeovers... The Sovy is a hero class...
Its only a matter of time before a C-Store release. The Wizkids Promo is most likely coinsiding with the anniversary of First Contact. And it is possible that it will have the Command gimmick. The C-Store version may just be a standard like the Guardian with a hybrid seat, either Intel, Pilot, or even Temporal. We don't know yet. Only thing we can do is wait for an actual Dev Blog.

I still kinda hope it doesn't now... I want to enjoy their tears as they enjoyed mine when Cryptic FUBAR'd my hopes for a t6 Connie
Heh. There's probably more people that want both the Sovereign and Constitution.
Im in that category as well but since I can't have my TOS/TMP Connie, I want others to suffer as well. Yes I'm that bitter and petty :P
Well considering that the cost for the command version will only be $15, your hopes will probably be dashed again. Then there's the other rumored variant. Not sure how that one is going to arrive.
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

ROFLMAO You and me both valoreah. Lexington's due for a T6 refit. She started life as a T5, Then went Regent refit, then T5U, and finally Fleet. Next up is T6. The Lady Lex has been my go to cruiser since I was able to get a Sovy.

The T6 Excelsior got new parts. While the original model may not have been touched up, the quality was probably already a bit higher than others to begin with. The Refit Connie is excused because it didn't even have an endgame variant to begin with. Also... it wasn't the anniversary of TMP, but TOS, so kinda balances out a bit in the end.

Finally! I've owned this for a long time, but never use it because the model looked really cheap to me. Glad they're updating it. I wouldn't mind seeing a tier 6 version, but I'm happy to dust off this old ship and give her a whirl for a bit.
Edited to add:
Now if they would just update the Vesta and the Luna (U.S.S. Titan) I'd be a happy captain.
I'm referring to a skin update. The Excelsior and TMPConi are still using their launch era skins, and it shows. Yes the TOSConi got a skin update as it was the 50th anniversary of TOS. But every single DS9 era ship with a T6 version got a new skin for no reason (other than the Intrepid for story reasons, though the Rhode Island/Nova did not).
The Galaxy also got one, several in fact. Two specific Gal-X's (one decked out like AGT and one more like a refitted Gal) and two different Gals (with the phaser nacelles).

Not that I disagree, however wouldn't you consider the Sovereign more among the "iconic hero ships"? It was the hero ship in 3 films, not to mention it's an Enterprise.
More iconic than the (*holds back vomit*) Excelsior or the TMPConi? I love the Sovereign, it's my number 1 canon ship, but both of the other ships I've mentioned are Enterprises, hero ships, and deeply iconic. The TPMConi, I'd argue, is the most iconic ship in the franchise. More so than even the TOS version.

The Attack Wing Enterprise-E is being re-released specifically for a new paint job so the Command Assault Cruiser should at the least get the skin to match the new paint job the model is getting.
I'd be surprised if they didn't release a new skin to match as that would seem like a waste of a great opportunity and they have had plenty of time to work on it.

What? The Resolute was an entirely new skin for the Excelsior. You have a point about the Connie, but that was a promo ship, not a C-store ship.
So this'll be the T6 Steamrunner.
Follow the concept art.
