As mention previous in previous post, the Steamrunner class was first featured in service in the “Star Trek First Contact” as it was a few surviving ships featured in a quickly assembled fleet in trying to defend, the Planet Earth among other Starships in struggling to destroy one single Borg Cube from entering the Earth’s protective shielding, as tries to assimilate Earth as tried on many unsuccessful times at sector 001..
What interesting to this is, The ship overall length is about 290 meters long just as long least than to the standard Constitution class starship, due to its size, it very compact, stealthy fast, agile and very tough.. as the release of the Steamrunner class- blockade runner escort in which was previous featured in the Star Trek online’s steam account launch when you sign up… in recent developments of the release of the Steamrunner, have a more highly textured details applied to it than from the Steam engine offering
Let’s start with the seconding with the Tier five Steamrunner- Blockade runner; it’s a fourth tiers upwards of the tier five versions having a base hull rating of 34,000 with room to increase also modify the like the tier three science exploration class vessels with only four forwarding and three after weapons consoles.. In which this is a basically a tactical ship given two Ensign tactical bridge officers stations, relying on same rankings as for Science, also Engineering……Given out fitted in weapons package of the tier five, in which this basically a cannon, turret, and torpedo ship, after trails on a Player vs Environmental map, it’s interesting.. at its moderated range of distance of attack.. But finding a dual torpedoes beam arrays combination in after and forward works in the best advantage, given that to cover the ships best maximum range of attack… Also covering the best usesage of your, shields also reducement of erosion… As to its best to maximised your tactical, and engineering bridge stations, as it’s basically is a Tactical/ Engineering ship your only have one Science station.. As to modifications it’s best to heavily modifications with fleet Engineering, also Tactical console the Steamrunner- Blockade Runner given if you want to increase you hulling…. Also its best to add an additional Tactical console, so you transform the ship tier towards Tier five-U ( tier six) from a basic five… also to note it doesn’t comes with a Resonance Cascade Modulator… In which it’ll enhance your team shields, in decreasing the amount of damage for a limited time….it comes in the lower tier one Steamrunner… However it comes with plus fifteen power of weapons in which your Fleet Tactical consoles will come in very useful…
