The T3 comes with a Transwarp Core Computer.
So what exactly were you saying that you paid $25 for and didn't (aren't) going to get?
mine hade the Advanced Transwarp Console it was RA one
I've tested and confirmed this for my recently-gotten Excelsior on Tribble
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
You no longer have all your transwarp destinations? Are you sure? You should log into the game and double check.
It doesn't say it has the console anymore, they fixed that shortly after season 5 when they dropped the console.
It does say it has an "Advanced Transwarp Drive." That's not an item, but an innate ability - when you're in it, click your transwarp menu and you'll have substantially more destinations than the two you usually have.
As already mentioned above, the Tier 5 innately offers transwarp to:

bonus power listed in image above.
The problem with the way they tried to implement the T3 and T5 Excelsior consoles during the F2P conversion was three fold. First, the T5 console did not include the Sirius,
Regulus, or Pi Canis transwarp destinations, they were exclusive to the T3 console. Second, you had already had purchased the T5 Excelsior for $25 you had to spend another $10 and buy the T3 version just to get back the 3 transwarp powers you had previously paid for. Third, you had to equip both consoles, giving up two valuable console slots, just to retain access to all the transwarp destinations you previously had.
The whole thing felt like a money grab and an insult to those of us who had purchased the T5 prior to F2P even being conceived.
(they were tied into the T5 console, so once they decided to remove it, bye bye bonus power)

Many have complained about this numerous times on the gameplay bugs page, and reported it, but they don't seem to care.

...that would be a failure of the tractor beam (won't be installed till tuesday).
I think you mean the Excelsior in Star trek III.;)

Yes still does, and it was the Original NX 2000 Excelsior not the Enterprise B
(It didn't have a transwarp drive at all, but the joke doesn't flow right that way)
Thought they made that bonus innate?
Test it yourself, go into space with any other ship, check your weapons perforamnce/shields/engine/aux.
now go switch your ship to the excelsior and check again.
same exact values, the bonus is broken/non existent on the ship.
in short, the description in the c-store is a lie, and has been for a very very long time.
Don't all ships at that tier have a particular bonus to a subsystem or two? The excel is supposed to have +5 to all? Which is a cruiser thing right? What am I supposed to compare it to? My escort? So if the Excel has less weapons power, then the testing proves the bonus is there?
My memory is fuzzy, but I think players only had a transwarp to their home system by default, or just the three base ones. It also had an hour-long cooldown. The console had no cooldown, and more destinations than other ships, so you could zip from one end of the map to another.
Edit: Actually, I think zulisvel had it right: the T3 had the console for the basic three transwarps, while the T5 actually had an inherent ability for the other three. To get all six, you had to buy both ships. The console also had bonuses to some of your space skills.
When Season 5 gave everyone a basic set of three transwarps, they changed the console to one that just cuts your cooldown on transwarp abilities. The ship inherently gets the "bonus" transwarp locations, so putting your console on another ship just reduces its transwarp cooldown. Not as awesome, but still useful.
Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
Not straight power levels but performance levels, as in the skill your character puts into.
I have 89 performance skill level for weapons/shields/engines. in all ships
now if the excelsior actually gave the bonuses it claims to, those skills should be at least +7.5 higher (what the old console gave at min, it scaled with level)
So I should have 96.5 min performance skills in those systems, yet I do not. Im still flying around at 89 skill level in the excelsior.
This.
The lower tier version (captain I think) has a console. The higher tier had the console removed, and the abilities directly integrated into the ship itself awhile back. That's a good thing because you don't have to waste a precious console slot for it now.
except its not, they only integrated the transwarp locations itself, not the bonus performance skill levels (which it still claims to give when you buy the ship)
Actually, the T3 description on the store clearly states it's not the same skill bonuses, it's an engine and cooldown bonus:
Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
He's referring to the power level boost of the Retrofit, which you won't find on your character sheet since it'll be your power levels in system space.
Effectively, the Retrofit gets +12.6 to Weapons, Shields, Engines and Aux instead of the usual +5.
But actually, both Excelsior's Transwarp Drives can (very) occasionally fail, as a little joke to the similar incident. I've only seen it once in-game, but it was funny as hell
