Steamrunner Bundle

pwlaughingtrendy · October 2016

We're excited to announce both the release of the Steamrunner Bundle.

With our new update, we have a complete remodel of the Steamrunner!

I thought this would also include a T6 Steamrunner for some reason. You've raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!

salazarraze · October 2016

Thank you, devs, for one of my favorite ships.

Steamrunner is an odd beast in being a team supporter while being an escort. That said, it is a beast and it is certain to reinforce my fed characters in the future.

Also, calling the release to the C-store of the T1 Andorian escort in the near future.

@reyan01
If it is the same Steamrunner as from steam then it has a T-5U option:

Steamrunner was one of those ships I thought about getting from steam mostly for the title that came with it (steampowered) Just never did. The clean up of the model looks great beautiful work. I hope to see the T1 Andorian ship soon been wanting that since I started playing just wasn't going to drop 200$ on neverwinter to get that ship at the time.

Cool. A new escort...

Did the turn rate get fixed so we can fly it properly?

davefenestrator · October 2016

Does this mean you'll be adding the Andorian Light Escort to the Kumari bundle next? Pretty please?

mustrumridcully0 · October 2016

Great model! Who build it this time?

But no T6 variant? What am I supposed to do with it?

galatt · October 2016

Now everyone can enjoy one of the best ships in the game. Seriously, I love mine.

Steamrunner was my favorite ship in First Contact (Sovereign was a close second), and I still run the Steamrunner as my Fed Escort-of-Choice in a game where pretty much every Escort plays the same.

The two different physical models of the Steamrunner in game is a nice reminder that Cryptic does listen to player feedback and make changes on that feedback, as myself and many others were pushing for the option of having the Steamrunner's engines located on the rear of the saucer, right here in the forums.

My only concern is whether or not this means the Steamrunner Bundle on Steam is going to go away in the near future, in order to push STO onto ARC, and eventually discontinue Steam support entirely. Since that little exclusive thing isn't limited to Steam any longer, and thus PWE has one less reason to keep STO on Steam.

lordsteve1 · October 2016

Should work that way, it did with the Intrepid remodel and also the Akira & Defiant models too.

I think the Steam-exclusive Steamrunner bundle was removed some time ago already due to some people buying it, using the code on STO and then returning the purchase on steam to get their money back. To stop the fraud/exploit going on they ended their steam offer and now rereelease the ship in the store.

I got the steam starter pack for the console and then realized how good the ships were all i need now is a T6 Variant it with a mastery to do with torpedoes. But i am glad to see this ship is back so more people can get it.

Oh hey, you're right. Well, that would make sense. Thanks.

daveyny · October 2016

Does this mean that those of us that already own the ship will automatically get the upgraded look or will we have to rebuy it?
(Just the look, I don't expect to get the console for free)

Assuming it's the same as previous ships, the updated model will be available if you already own it.

chitowngrizz420 · October 2016

No T6 version? To me its not worth getting the older outdated T5 unless the universal console is an OP defense that is a must have.

OK, thanks.
It's been awhile since I've paid attention to a rereleased ship.
So we'll just have to go to the Ship Tailor on the 13th and redo the look of our current model.
Easy-peasy.

velqua · October 2016

So glad this is now going to be available at the C-Store. Thanks! Can't wait to get it!

waldotrek · October 2016

Yeah for another T1 Ship! I will be picking this up.

T5's outdated!? I disagree there.

misterferengi · October 2016

Seems strange to touch up the model and not give it a T6 Version unless that's coming later

stormstryke2 · October 2016

So KDF gets what out of this?

orion0029 · October 2016

Ohh, that's one hot little ship!

Gonna add that to my wishlist!

Another kind of Federation Ship to hunt down and destroy.

rtk142 · October 2016

So........still no Tier 6 Sovereign I see.

cookiecrook · October 2016

A T6 version would definitely be a welcome addition.

Maybe it's coming in the next lockbox? Or maybe in a R&D pack promotion. It seems to have become the norm lately.

Nice - although a little confused as to why it's T5 - any T5-U option?.

Still, pleased to see it isn't yet another cruiser

You upgrade it like any other T5 C-store ship; you use an upgrade token.

That said, a T6 variant wouldn't be a bad idea in the near future.

And as for the comment made by @chitowngrizz420 about its console, the Resonance Cascade Modulator reduces damage to shields by 20% team-wide and completely removes shield bleedthrough damage. Both of these effects last 12 seconds. They nicknamed this the Team Fortress buff in its tooltip.

thlaylierah · October 2016

So those of us that got this in the Steam bundle need to buy it again to get the console?

Will the game even let us buy it again if we already have it even if we discharge it?

How will those of us that supported the game by buying the Steam bundle get the console?

Or via a 3rd party via a promo code which rumors are is happening sadly with the Sovereign.
