I bought it, nice little tank. I use it with my engineer toon and love it. Great DPS, shield mod isn't such a problem with maco xii and 1 field gen, 9.7k shield. 34500 hull translate to over 46k with my skills in space.
the 2 lt eng makes it great for tanking. I have 2 copy of epts running constantly, 1 aux to struc makes it tougher and 1 RSP to save my butt when shield gets low.
Commander tac and Lt commander tac bof gives me all I need in offensive powers.
Ensign sci may hurt a non engineer, but it doesn't bother me too much, slotted HE there.
Tried it last night and, in Cure elite, I soloed and tanked negvar and raptor on 2 cubes. In fact, 3 stfs and I didn't die once.
The console is nice and cooldown is low enough to be used often. Its only 12 sec but it acted pretty much like borg shield proc. Gave me the few sec to hit another buff before I died and even used it to help a teammate in trouble. He now officially want one of these. The console is truly universal, I can put it on any ship I want even shuttle.
To sum it up, love it, more tanky escort I own and firepower on par with most tiers 5 ship and 10 consoles is real nice.
One more ship in my collection
Jamal : Tactical space specialist. USS Bug Warrior and many others
E'Mc2 : Science Reman torp T'Varo, deadly annoyance :P
Kunmal: Tactical fed Klingon, ground specialist, USS Kanewaga
Ka -tet Tier 5 fleet fully completed Starbase and fleet property
Like the above player, I'm a fan of the steamrunner. The lack of Lt. Sci skills takes a little getting used to, but most non-Engineers could just toss in an Ensign Science Team to the slot and be just fine.
My one pet peeve with the ship is how dark the hull is. Seems like regardless of what light I'm in, it's always black or cast in shadow. Even Type 6 is too dark.

According to some threads, that seems to be a bug.
It's like the Jemmy with the BOFF seats.... but 1 less tac console. The Steamrunner is more on par with the Mobius Temporal Destroyer with the console layout though.
This is my new go-to ship for STFs... its got good damage output, great shields for an escort and if you run your EN Boffs like the OP says, it doesn't die!!! Well worth the $10... but not worth $25 so buy it now!
The T5 looks interesting now that it has 1.0 shield modifier with today's patch.
This has the same hull, but higher shield mod, turnrate, and an extra engineering console compared to the the Chimera. No cool transforming parts, Advanced Slipstream, or base-stat buffs though.
The T5 is basically a Fleet Patrol Escort with slightly-higher specs and odd BOff slots, so it's on par with $20 in Fleet Ship Modules ship. So, even the 'off-sale' price of $24 for the bundle comes out as a pretty good deal, IMO, for new players.
it does come out to be a great deal that console has saved my but and quite possibly my teamates butts as well extremely useful for a "oh god please don't go boom" button.
I have the pack got it from a friend on Steam while it was 10$, haven't had the chance to use it because my son's sick but I hope it's as fun as everyone says it is. I don't think I'll be moving my main into the Steamrunner but I hope to fit my Tac Alt into it, and I plan on letting my Fed Sci Alt get into the T1. She'll be a Klingon once I purchase the playable Klingon Captain.
just bought this ship...its REALLY nice, now im wondering what kind of weapon build and space set is good for it .....running reman mk 11 rare set with 1 mk 10 green plasma topr on each end and then 3x purple tetryon dual cannons and 2x rare tetryon turrets....the ship is MEAN when using HY 2 and HY 3 ;p;
What consists of a "Steam" download? I purchased the Atari Digital Deluxe before Beta, but I am pretty sure I downloaded it from Steam.
If you purchased the Steam version originally, you should be fine and won't need to move the game files to Steam (to avoid re-downloading the game just to have it display the CD key you need).
Once you buy the pack, the CD Key option in your Steam library should update with a new code, which you need to enter into your "account" section on this site. Once you redeem the code, a free item should appear under "Bundles" in the in-game C-store. Claim it, and you'll get a box with all the stuff in it. Make sure to open the tier 1 refit as well, since that ship has the new console. If you're high level you can probably toss the BOff and gear pack (unless you need a new Trill and Vulcan sci/engi officer).
The whole thing is an account-wide unlock, so you can claim and re-claim the ship as many times as you like on any character.

The Steamrunner's a lot like the Bug, but it's slower, has a worse turn rate, has no Universal slots, and an inferior console layout (4 tac vs 5 on the bug). Also, it has no Polaron weapon bonus.
It's a great ship, don't get me wrong, but it's still inferior to the god-tier Bug. The setup also seems to favor a slightly more "tanky/support-escort" approach, since it has better crew, double Engi Lt slots, and more science consoles.
Here's my question. I have had an account with STO for almost 3 years (upcoming December). I bought the store version for $10. Redeemed that key. How can I get the Steamrunner bundle? can you redeem a second key for the same account?
I can do tanking for a bit on this as a Trill engineer. Pretty epic on all fronts. I did end up swapping out EPtS2 for DEM 1 with my Anti-Proton cannon setup. It was awesome!
I guess it would have been overkill if the Science BOFF seat was Lt... but I can deal with that.
PS: If this gets a Fleet version... More shields please.

You should be able to claim it from your in-game C-Store menu once the key is applied. I heard it was under "Bundles".
I don't care how long you've been playing. I only care about how you play.
And remember to follow the rules.
There it is! Thank you
No, I don't think there's a unique bridge for this particular ship.

You're thinking of the 2-piece Jem'Hadar space set.
Oooh, I thought that was native.
Yes, I confused it with the buff-stripping proc Galors and Bugs get when running the set. Thanks for the correction.
Just grabbed this little ship off the $10 Steam deal... but I am not seeing this Console?
Where do I get the Console from?
I claimed the T5 Ship..
She's a mean little tank, but she didn't come with any consoles!
Ah ok nvm! I found the Console...
Its listed on the T1 Ship in the shipyard, but its NOT listed on the T5 ship...
Odd...
So I have to claim the T1 also to get the console, then I guess I can put it into my T5 Steamer...
That fine line between ship or submarine
I guess it would have been overkill if the Science BOFF seat was Lt... but I can deal with that.
