    It's part of a two ship bundle that includes other things - available for the equivalent of 1000 Zen...er, if that sale's still going on.

    well, my little escort pilot brain can think of about a million reasons why this is the new top escort in the game. or at least on par with the bug.

    it spells bad juju for sci ships and cruisers. and more fun for me! (i think i'll go get that steam sub now)

    have fun kill bad guys

    I fly one as a sciscort I love it. Took me about a hour to get used to it due to flying the non P2W wells. I've been using it in FvK and omg I'm loving it. What an amazing ship I'm running full polarized disruptors

    DHC x3 interchange torp
    Turts x3
    Omega deflector 12
    Omega engine 12
    Maco shield 12
    3 netro VR12, 1 RCS VR12
    2 Shield emitters VR12
    4 weapon mods (mostly 12)
    Consumable: ablative jovanite, team item

    It was some of the fastest kills I've ever gotten
    -"There is no such thing as an I win button!" "Um, Sir. Whats this button that says (I win) for then?"

    Well...one tiny problem with it: Bugged shield modifier, it is currently listed set as a .7, so it has paper thin shields...for now.

    It's a fantastic ship, and a very nice looking model (I asume that's Jam Jamz handiwork) and with good stats. What sold it to me was the fact there are 2 tier versions of it. It's a great starter ship, and the starter pack goddies account unlock is great. I haven't used the new console in an STF yet, but it looks good on paper.

    After they up the shield modifier to 1.0, this will be a smart little ship to invest in, and a good deal even at the full price. :)

    Patch notes...

    Updated the T5 Steamrunner base stats.
    All base stats, HP, Shields, etc., were increased to T5 levels, including Shield Modifier.

    Hum, seems they buffed it even more lol !

    I fly the saber, it's shield mod is something like .79 right? Those shields are paper thin despite the sci console advantage. It's hull is much worse too, the only thing the ship has going for it is its turn rate which makes it a great duelist but a poor team player imo.

    the saber is down on raw numbers quite a bit. even though its got an extra chunk of hitpoints to go with its shield mod, once the shields on the steamy are fixed it will be hard to beat. its got the best self preservation capacity an escort can have.

    Pretty much.

    I just checked a bunch of deets on the saber vs. steamrunner. For a loss of one turn point and one tier 2 sci ability you are getting: an extra tier 2 eng ability, 17-18% more shields, almost 4 thousand hp, and +150 crew.

    Both ships have its merits I guess. I like all TNG era ships :o

    Well, I figure the Saber has a higher defense value too, not sure how to check that though.

    I'm at 77.7 on my McSteamy. I don't have a Sabray. Also, fer teh lulz, I got my turn up to 71. Doing doughnuts in ESD local space cause a couple PM's asking me where I got my fat ride.

    Can somebody post up the changes after the patch? I won't be on for another 12 hours or so and I'm a might curious. The shield mod was expected, but I'm not seeing the need for a buff to the rest.

    I will check my Sabers Def value when the servers come back up. I have the skill maxed so it should be ideal for comparison.

    a good ship to house the class 10 Chaffee

    similiar engine build, the chaffee has no mother ship, nor the ironclad a shuttle

    i say spiral disruptors, cannon, harpangs and a class 10 shuttle

    this may be superior

    I guess I thought smaller ships had big defense bonuses since I miss them so much with weapons. Maybe thats just the speed/inertia ratings?

    Ran home at lunch so I hopped on, looks like the shield mod was the only thing adjusted but I only glanced at it. 40k shields with 2 field gens. Inertia is 60 btw.

    It screams TransEngScort to me.

    BOFFs:
    TT1, TS2, THY3, APO3
    TT1, APB1, DPB2
    EPtA1, AtB1
    EPtS1, AtB1
    PH

    Engine/Shield/Deflector: AKHG

    Weapons -
    Fore: 3x Rapid Trans, 1x Breen Cluster
    Aft: 1x Rapid Trans, 1x Trans Mine, 1x Breen Cluster

    DOFFs: 2x SDO, 2x Tech, 1x Nurse

    Consoles:
    3x Trans, Borg
    1x Force, 1x RCS, Theta, Iso
    1x Field, AMS

    Devices: RMC, Engine Battery

    Power: 25 Wep/100 Shield/50 Eng/25 Aux

    Space Passives -
    Romulan: +3% CrtH, Crit Placate, QSM (Active)
    Omega: Hull Regen, Kinetic Proc

    Skill Build: http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/index.php?build=SteamedHull_0

    Yes, I did say TransEngScort - so it's an Engineer captain: Miracle Worker, Rotate Shield, Nadion Inversion, EPS Transfer, Engineering Fleet.

    Btw, the crew stuff is because it's basically passive tanking and defense outside of the Eng stuff.

    I'd call it the U.S.S. Steamed Hull...

    The main problem with running double Aux2Bat on an escort (and especially a Tacscort when you have Tac Initiative) is that you're going to run out of unique Tac skills and end up running copies (the bane of A2B). So double TT is kinda useless, for example.

    That said, A2B with trannies is almost interesting.

    I've run into issues with AtB because of the triggered cooldowns on certain abilities. Where X triggers a CD on Y - X will be available again before Y is (and Y before X, if you use Y first), because the triggered CD is not affected by the recharge buff from the Tech DOFFs...

    ...wish they affected triggered CDs.
