T6 ships get 10 or 11 console slots?

I'm surprised it took this long to notice and perhaps it's already been mentioned somewhere.

In this blog we're told T5-U ships get the same benefits as T6 ships with a few exceptions including the addition of an extra console;

My T5-U ships which I upgraded for free all have the extra console (making a total of 11).

My T6 intel and T6 ships, however, do not have the 11th console slot they still have only 10.

Unless I'm mistaken Cryptic, you've said T6 ships should get a 11th console slot. No where do you say there's a trade off (i.e intel gather/cloak - which wouldn't affect the KDF/Romulans anyway) in which case I'd much prefer the 11th console slot anyway.

You do advertise all T6 ships have 10 slots in the blogs below so it's not that we're being sold something not as described but you did state the T6 ships would get an extra console slot and since the T5-U got one I'd imagine the T6 should too. If they already have it then T6 were modified original T5 ships which seems rather poor for a T6 ship even with the other benefits.

And I've just checked the T6 lockbox ships and they have 11 console slots too.

Any chance this could be looked in to please?

    That would be cause the fleet versions will have 11 console slots and they don't want to go over 11 for any ship.

    Its basically between the lines. T6 is an upgrade from T5, not T5-fleet. Fleet exists as its own upgrade scheme which grants +1 console and I believe +10% hull and shields. Those standard bonuses are applied apart from the tier system, so you can have T5, T5-U, and T6 ships with or without them.

    Tier6 ship masteries, might as well be an additional console all in itself.

    Only, it's a console that is, not switchable to something different so to speak.

    A T5 ship has 9 console slots.... upgraded it has 10
    A T5.5 (which includes many special event ships and fleet ships) ship has 10 console slots.....upgraded it has 11
    A T6 ship has 10 console slots (one more than a T5, but the same number as a T5.5 and a T5-U(non-T5.5 upgrade)

    The T6 ships gain one extra boff power and one extra console slot over a T5
    The T6 ships gain one extra boff power but has the same number of console slots as a T5-U(nonT5.5 upgrade)
    The T6 ships have one extra boff power but the same number of console slots as a T5.5
    The T6 ships have one extra boff power and one less console slot that a T5-U(T5.5 upgrade)

    You're mistaken because there are some sub levels to "T5", but what ships you are bringing up are T5.5 ships, which have an extra console slot over T5 ships already.

    So:
    T5 = 9 console slots
    T5.5 (some C-store and fleet ships) = 10 console slots
    T5-U = 10 console slots, specialization
    T5.5-U = 11 console slots, specialization
    T6 = 10 consoles slots ,+1 Boff over T5, specialization, starship mastery
    T6.5 [which will be fleet ships and such] = 11 consoles, +1 Boff over T5, specialization, starship mastery

    Yeah I forgot T5 was 9 and forgot fleet's/lockboxes was 10 so c store are one less. A small mistake but that's why I enquired.

    Don't forget that the T6 and T6 Fleet Ship Trait can be used on any ship...yeah I know that requires you to get the ship but that does mean that T6 Fleet will really only have the extra Boff seat. I think hull and shields will probably be the same as T5.5U.
