The three strongest ships ingame: T6 Scimitar, T5U Scimitar, T5 Scimitar. Seems legit.
But yes, more ships for them would be nice. However you have the problem that kdf is a minority, while the Roms have the scimitar, so T6 Scimi would make sense as it would sell very good. Other ships might not.
I would buy a KDF T6 Science dedicated ship. It really stinks there is not one. KDF might be the most forgotten faction but KDF Sci is the lost puppy of the lost faction. We are the last of the last so far last that we are not even there for the show any more.
I own a T5 scimitar and thus far I have pummelled most (ofc not all) competition in friendly in-fleet PVP, many in T6 ships.
I reHeaaly do not think this ship needs to be a T6, sure it would sell well, but I know I laugh when I fly my Scim (most of the time), but have to turn my game up a notch or three when I'm not in it against one. It really is good enough as is.
But I do think more high end ships for both Rom and KDF would be fantastic.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Romulans should get a Sci-oriented, T6 Adapted warbird with a weaker but near-instant firing Thalaron blast weapon (3 sec charge) with only a 25% movement/turn penalty, and a T6 Leahval Scimitar with a 6 second Gravimetric Thalaron Pulse that pulls and holds enemies to its front and center before blasting them.
And just to not completely neglect the KDF, KDF can have a new Gorn Sci Dreadnought that has a built-in Plasmonic Leech ability and a console that puts certain abilities into overdrive for its 30 second duration; such as Tachyon Beam becoming Hyper Tachyon Beam; which has an additional 15 seconds and drains more per second, or Gravity Well becoming a larger-than-normal singularity with incredible pull and greater damage, and also finishes off with a more massive singularity explosion.
Then Feds later get a super-sci ship with it's own wide-angle BFG and Overcharged Sci Abilities console.
use the intrepid as a model, its all pretty easy to extrapolate what a tier 6 version of any ship would look like. release these at least as just a way to get kdf and rom some of those oh so op fed ship triats.

The Scimitar upgrade looks simply - just strike trhough the Tier 5 Upgrade and replace it with Tier 6.
I hope that we'll eventually get updates to all ships (you don't have to buy them all!). But I think the flag ships should be among the first. Hopefully they will do it like the Pathfinder and also provide a new skin. For 3-ship sets the Bortas and the Odysee both really have little going for them in terms of customization.
And I would really like a Tier 6 Nausicaan ship that looks more like the other Nausicaan ships other than the Siege Destroyer.
And a Tier 6 K'nor Escort.
And a Tier 6 Bird of Prey. Ideally based on the B'Rel model with a new skin and Enhanced Battle Cloak. (Because everyone got Battle Cloak nowadays.)

My solution would be to reskin the dauntless for both kdf and rom since it was an alien ship only made to look fed in the show. Its a little more tac heavy in the boff seating too so that keeps with themore offensive nature of kdf and rom.
Lastly, the intro post said the plans were discovered in the delta quadrant after the way opened there via the jenolan sphere. Since that operation is a cross faction aliance, shouldn't the entire alliance have had access to the plans?
Gonna add that missing "L" back in "Klinks" that is in your thread title
*laughs*
That caught my eye for a second there....
Thanks for that. For a minute there I thought OP might be talking about new T6 Orion ships and I kinda got my hopes up. Big difference, that little L makes.
How about more KDF & Rom ships period? As a fan of the KDF and one of the KDFs most stringent defenders, I'd really like more ships at every level, especially non-Carrier KDF Science-ish vessels. and Science/Battlecruiser ships for Romulans at Tiers 1-3.. Heck, the whole thing everyone thought before LoR was that Feds would have mastery over Cruisers, KDF over Raptors & Raiders, and that Romulans would have absolutely bad &%# Science Vessels.
And then Roms come in and have.. Freaking Raiders. Are you kidding me?

worst part is it wouldnt even be hard to buff up the KDF ship table, just add the Gorn NPC ships to the available non z-store roster for KDF. I wouldnt even really complain if they were all sci heavy. Rom ships would actually take someone some time to build new models and such but KDF has ready made assets sitting in game waiting for love
And account unlock starship traits? RR/KDF has a serious lack of these too (Lockbox Ships excluded).
Beta, LTA, CE, Multiple preorder Versions, all Addon Packs except AoY, nearly all KDF/Rom and ~50% of all Fedships, over 25 LockboxShips, Endurer of Atari's "Year of Hell", but...
God a tier 6 Scimitar. Lets take the most OP broken ship in the game, and just blow the roof off of the power curve.
REAL great idea.
I'd love to see a tier 6 BoP.

I'll take it. Hell, I'll even take the D'd design lineage so long as the ship is small and has a secondary deflector slot. I can think of at least one interesting way to take the D'd's two-tiered wings and integrate a head and a secondary deflector pod into it that would look sweet.
Call it the Reconnaissance Warbird to match standing Sci/Tac ship nomenclature and you can expect my $30 on launch day, good sirs and mafams at Cryptic.

just no... theres enough of these things flying around causing MCF traffic jams already

....is the Atrox just not enough?
I bought the T6 kdf ships but didn't play them past getting the trait.
No KDF carrier in 4 years.
That is all i have to say about that.
Officially Nerfed In Early 2410
I smiled at that, too. I'm thinking we could add:
B'etor's Wild Rider
The Orion Thunder Dome
How to Tame Your Gorn
Tal Shiar Interrogator
The Dungeon Master/Mistress

needs +1 TAC console, a SCI/INTEL hybrid seat, battlecruiser trait package, a bit more hull.
Battlecloak would be a little OP, but would be worth 30 bucks.

Hopefully Cryptic is reading.
I'm guessing most of these ships are in Cryptic plans.
Would be great if they gave us some road map on ships so we have something to look forward to.

Almost called it.

i would love it to have:

lt tac

turnrate 13-16 and an enhanced battle cloak
if i had to choose i would revisit the d'deridex design, because that has been spoiled badly at launch and i love it.
im ok with weapons 4x3, but buying with 3x3 also
q'apla!
Just as canon as the Dauntless. :rolleyes:
But seriously, if it's too much work to create all new ships, let's just see full T6 versions of the classics? Vor'cha, B'rel, D'deridex and Mogai?
REAL great idea.
