If they start releasing T6 versions of T5(u) ships, I hope they offer a discount for those people who've already paid for the originals. I wouldn't have upgraded my Vesta to T5U had I known T6 was coming.
Just saying... it'd be nice.
and if they are giving T6 treatment to the vesta threepack they really need to do all threepacks.
It wouldn't happen but I'd like to see something for everyone. A T6 version for each faction flag being retrofitted. I would be disappointed to yet another fed ship launch with no consideration for the the remaining two factions. For purely selfish reasons I'd want to see the same done with the heavy destroyer variants. If it were ships anything that doesn't widen the gap between factions.
Mr. Rademaker is doing a refit of the Vesta because he is using a new program with new features compared to the one used to design the original Vesta years ago.
He said on his Twitch channel that he was never completely satisfied with the Vesta because he was on a deadline to complete it.
The Vesta refit he is working on is on his own time, not somebody else's dollar. He's taking his time with this in the way he was not given time with his original design.
It's a labor of love, nothing more. He never confirmed it was for STO, he never implied it was for STO. It's just because his twitch page says that he's playing Star Trek Online, that people get the idea his Vesta refit is for STO.
But it isn't. The sooner this rumor is debunked, the better.
About
Welcome welcome!
My name is Mark, I design various starships and Sci-Fi related items. I'm probably best known for my Vesta class design. To stream my "3D struggle" (You cant really call this modeling) is something new, but it could be interesting to watch, you might get a glimpse of weird details or angles that I normally would avoid like the plague. Scheduling isn't really my strongest point, but I will try to get one asap! So far I'm enjoying this.
Software I use:
3DS Max 2014 (SP5)
Npower software: Powernurbs
Random Control: Arion (Renderer)
What I work on currently: refitting the (original) Vesta class model with some new parts, after that there will be a conversion to mesh and a repaint/re-texture.
P.s. this is not an ingame model. It's the original mesh, as seen on the Star Trek ships of the line calendars. It's up to Cryptic to decide if they would T6 this version.
Not to sound like a downer, but Mark does not work on STO, and his process is a far cry from how we build things.
That being said, it is indeed fun watching the refit come together, but it is completely unrelated to STO.
Debunked on page 3 of the thread.
I completely misread the chat commentary around it. My bad. It fit all-too-well with the comments of the Vesta getting some more love from an earlier post.
Mark Rademaker is working on a Vesta Refit design, but it's not for STO. However, he did state that if Cryptic was "interested" in using the design for a T6 ship, he would be open to the idea. It's ultimately up to Cryptic if they wish to make a T6 Vesta and use Mark's design.
Well, the last time, players were pretty interested in the Vesta, and that prompted Cryptic to look for acquiring it. Maybe, since it involves all known people, the second time it will also be easier.
So we should probably just ask and beg for it, or whatever we did last time.

Would be nice it we get something similar like the dyson event last year.
A true T6 sci ship (not some gimmicky hybrid TRIBBLE like the dyson ship) wich is basically the same for all 3 factions just with a different hull.
The feds may have enough sci ships but the klingon and romulan sci department is a barren wasteland and really needs some more ships.
He said on his Twitch channel that he was never completely satisfied with the Vesta because he was on a deadline to complete it.
That's not quite how i remember it. He did the first design just for himself as well. It was only after he released a fully rendered image to the public (i believe it was this one: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090621102242/startrek/images/7/75/Aventine_in_flight.jpg ), that fans and TBTB alike picked up on it. CBS then made it the defacto "canon" design. I don't think they had ever asked for it and there certainly wasn't any design contest like with the Luna.
OK so we get ensign kimali why not make this a BORGaversary and let us have cubes ...why not i mean nothing is sacred anymore in STO afterall.
Sure, CUBES FOR EVERYONE! And next season we get the pwnd lock box which has something called adaptive instantwin console. Use it and everything on the map explodes.
Fed toons can lave a t6 Typhoon or a T6 Odyssey of their choice
Rom toons can have a t6 something like a D'deridex or a t6 dreadnought of their choice
Kdf toons can have a t6 Negh'var (I mean the big boy from DS9) or a t6 bortasqu of their choice
How about that

Those were his words, not mine. It's likely he was implying the fully rendered design for the Ships of the Line Calendar. Those do have deadlines. I mean come on, it's a calendar.
We've seen the Command BOFF abilities for a yet-to-be released command boff (or the ability to cross train existing BOFF's), and now the Command specialization tree for captains has been explained more.
What could we possibly see next?
We know a T6 variant or retrofit of the Vesta is coming soon. We know that fleet variants of the new T6 ships are also due.
Cryptic is unfazed by the escalation of DPS and shows no signs of slowing down.
While there are many who want to see a true Federation Dreadnought, including those who support the Jupiter-class project, I think the federation will go another direction.
A true Capital Class vessel, perhaps a strategic-cruiser with a focus on Command capabilities. The 'strategic' cruiser would be T6, and have an elevated capability over current command cruiser designs (Bortasqu, Odyssey).
I'm imagining Lt Commander seating in Science and Tactical. Perhaps even having flight deck capacity.
Perhaps a free version during the Anniversary event, with a 3-pack for Federation players shortly thereafter or a Fleet version.
The odyssey is due for a refit more than some others , The Sovereign Class should get saucer separation , I also believe more ship Interiors should be work on , How about going to sector space and having to stop out of warp and being able to see the other ships go by your window or while at ESO or any place for that matter and having the Interior to match these ships would be great , this is Star Trek online so being able to do as they did in the show and looking out windows would be great , they do it at ESO when you beam to the Station but it should also be available for being on board your ship while in warp and not in warp & We should be able to take our ships to a real space dock and watch them get repaired as well and the Docking at ESO how about we get to walk off the Ship to ESO when we go to dock that would be so cool and being able to walk around San Fransisco on earth would be great as well

Quite a difference, IMO, between asking for a general ship, or specific stat changes.
