I dunnow. I think both STO and the KDF have enough carriers already, and the KDF already has two ships that steer worse than a dead whale (three if you count the JHDC out of the lockboxes).
I'd love to see extra T5 ships for the KDF ally races. I just don't think another deadnought carrier is neccessarily the best choice to fill that. Just my two cents.

We don't need more big lumbering ships. At the end-game level, we're sorta short on raptors and destroyers. A Fleet Guramba would be nice, for example. Make that our 5-tac console escort

Given how terrifying we were in Guramba's before the Jem Bug, I can see why Cryptic's been reluctant to make a fleet version of it...

A Fleet Guramba would sell, sell, SELL. I'm not much of a user of the ship, but I do recall a very active "Church of Guramba" in the KDF ranks. When the shipyard system was being introduced, there were alot of requests for a Fleet Guramba. And seeing how big a gap there is between Fed & KDF Escorts, this ship would help out quite a bit.
Fleet Guramba was confirmed by geko to be coming sometime after the expansion launch.
Do you have a link to a source, out of curiosity?
It's good that we're getting a Fleet Guramba. I and other KDF players felt we were shortchanged when we didn't get a Fleet Guramba with the introduction of the Starbase system. Here's to hoping it's the KDF's first 5-tac console destroyer/raptor, with 16-17 turning rate.

As much as I would love to see new ships the warbarge looks kinda just like a beefier Corsair. Personally I would like to see some cool new Orion based design!

I remember putting together a hypothetical T5 starship for each KDF ally race as a thought experiment a while back. The idea I came up with for the Orion ship was a little goofy, though... (a 3-fore/4-aft mine-specialist corvette. As I said, a goofy idea...)

Well, best of luck to you. Hopefully they don't do to the Fleet Garumba what they did to the fleet version of my poor Varanus... (toothless science vessel? Obviously this thing needs a third tac console instead of a fifth science console! >0 )

I agree. New looks. Something sexy and deadly looking.
If I didn't know better I would say that Cryptic are almost scared to give the KDF a 5 tact console / 5 fore ship of any kind because of the massive backlash there would certainly be from the Feds when they started getting wrecked by it.
That aside our next ship needs to be a raptor or destroyer at T5 because we need those a lot more than another ship that turns like the helmsman had both his hands broken for incompetence .

I'd like to see a lot of the NPC KDF ships be made available at some point for KDF players.

The KDF sorely lacks some good escorts type ships. If I didn't love the look of Klingons ships so much I would have put my bug on the KDF side. lol
