Unhappy you can't upgrade the ship you really want to fly? Don't think T5u is buffed enough?
Build your own T6 ship from an existing ship and show us what you have in mind. It must adhere to established ship norms at least in a general sense, such as console amount. Include a console idea or a built in ability, as well as a ship mastery profile.
Here is my thought...
Take the Bortas heavy cruiser and turn it into the Kahless battleship.
The battleship class does not have comm arrays and due to its massive signature is incapable of cloaking. It has +10 to weapons and +10 to shields.
It has a 4/4 weapon layout and can mount DHCs. However it has a fused forward special double beam bank with crit severity modifiers. These siege lances deal radiation damage and can be augmented only through particle generator skill.
It is a slower ship with a high hull amount and with a turn of 7. As for the consoles it has 5 tactical slots, 2 engineering and 3 science. The shield modifier is 1.1.
The seating is a commander tactical, lt commander engineering, lt. Commander sci/intel, lieutenant tactical, and engineering ensign.
As for the mastery, it has +accuracy, + hull resist, + weapon damage, + crit damage. The fifth level grants the ship "good day to die" a ramming speed ability that can be triggered even at full health and grants a temporary hull resist.
Overpowered? Perhaps, but in the current speed meta, slow ships aren't always the most powerful. I figure it improves on what some used the Bortasqu for, plowing through stfs and brawling with cubes.
That was my idea anyway...
TLDR- I was bored and I daydream internet spaceships

So that makes it pretty easy...
Take any T5 ship, convert a Lt to a LCdr and make the other Lt a hybrid seat. Done.
So for your Bortas/Bortasqu'...
Take the Lt Tac and make it a LCdr Tac.
Take the Lt Sci and make it a Lt Hybrid.
...there's your T6 Bortas.
If the unlockable trait is a stickler, just grab any random trait/passive/doff/etc that already exists in the game, tweak it a little, then repackage it as a new and exciting Starship Trait.
edit: Doh, forgot the Guardian has all four Cruiser Commands and not just the two the Dreadnought has. Then again, the Gal-X only has two compared to a Gal-R...cause that has nothing to do with T6 vs. T5-U and is just Cruiser vs. Dreadnought Cruiser.
