[Announcement] - New T6 Steamrunner

I watched them live and I think if her console supports the torpedo damage bonus, it will be a very powerful damage tool.

I love the Steamrunner, I'd definitely pick this up for use at some point

I'm always jeleous seeing almost every slot filled with epic mark XV's. I think I have one mark XV, and its not even on my main.
Reading prices of 250 million EC and up my mind keeps getting blown. I've never had over 3 million and 2 million of those were a gift from a very generous fleet member. Can't imagine the hours you need to put in to get those amounts of EC.
Nice ship though. always liked designs like this, and the akira.

I like her, she's pretty and has great seating, perfect for a torp boat. Not that I've ever done such a thing yet aside from a science toon, which isn't really pure torp.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get her when I have the Fleet Titan-X though, the best part is that it's a C-store ship meaning I can get her any time that I want.

For the original post for Jestersmith - The new T6 Steamrunner will be the Appalachia Class - it's a ship of the line bundle though it's not clear if it's available separately.

To Quote the news post:

The T6 Appalachia will also be available as a separate purchase in the Zen Store.

So Yey, though when it is introduced, the bundle will be slightly more expensive but worth the cost at 35% off.

Ship by itself: 3K (if normal priced like other T6)
Bundle at 35% off: 3250 zen

They stated on stream it was also separate other day.

Price looks right

Looks like a good ship with some nice extras like the trait and console; heck, even the experimental gun looks funky.

Not sure the bundle really gets you much extra as the lower class versions are pointless and get you nothing extra, and upgrade tokens are a dime a dozen in events these days.

I'll use one of my free tokens on it anyway, so I'm not interested in the bundle either way.

I think I might actually get this one. I like the trait and the console. So I will probably strip it for parts.

I want to see what happens when the trait meets the bouncing Ba'ul torpedo. Torp Spread III, bouncing torpedo, +200 hull & shield penetration. Yeah. . .
I'm also curious to see what happens with the Tricobalts and various Space Wizard modifiers - if any.
I doubt, however, that I will be trading my Voice of the Prophets for the Spike. We'll have to see.

Now if I remember correctly, I have a free T6 token laying around here somewhere.

The console on this thing is outrageous, it really is.

Just messing about in some patrols and it wiped out an entire Vaadwaur fleet in a single volley, including all the heavier ships. Combined with a grav well this thing will be some sort of monster; pin them down and if the initial blast doesn't level the place the lingering rifts and DOT will certainly do so.

I'm not sure the tooltip is totally accurate though as my base torps do more damager than the impact going off the tooltip but in practice this thing is vastly more powerful.

*watches as Cryptic doesn't nerf this for a couple weeks to milk money*

Take it the T6 token worked on it then or did you end up buying
