What about (if we ever have one) the new T6 Defiant has a 5/2 layout, and if we use 4 Cannons of any type (DHC, DC, SC) we can see them if the were de quads? and of course the empty slot a nice litte quantum torp?
what do you think?

I know you're all focused on T6 Nova but hey, T6 Defiant is right around the corner, it's foolish to not see how obvious it is.
T6 Defiant is coming. First Intrepid, then Galaxy, Defiant will be the next one.
Plus, the ship has been in need of love for a long time as it's now outclassed by, huh, every other escort out there?
T5 Defiant, Intrepid and Galaxy are all tied together in here. They were the ships purchasable with the VA token back in the days, they had identical boff seating, which consisted in cmdr/ltcmdr/ens slots of their main profession and lt slots of the other two.
We have already a T5 and a T4 Defiant, a third one and ta-dah, bundle!
2 out of 3 came out already. Each one of them fit a new specialization. The third one is Pilot, made for escorts and quick ships. What's a Defiant supposed to be? Command was for Cruiser, hence Andromeda and Intel for... intel. Voyager was "sent" on undercover missions in game lore and considering its history in the shows, intel is fitting. Oh and they had to make it as the whole expansion was Voyager related. :P
Defiant T6 Pilot confirmed.
Cause really, I'm a hardcore Defiant fan and the Phantom has nothing of the Defiant aesthetics. It's a black/blue metal plate that took some inspiration from the Defiant and other escorts in game like the Tempest. If it was supposed to be a Defiant reboot, then we should have been able to use the Defiant skin.
lol I'm the complete opposite. When it comes out, even if missing Pilot maneuvers, I'll be sparkling happiness all around the game. Would be the dead-end, killer for all my ships. I'd use just that day and night.
I tried a Pilot ship anyway: not going to buy them. Yeah the maneuvers are funny, but aesthetics are horrible and would be insta-dead as soon as I see the T6 Defiant out.
I just love DS9, and having that old glory revived would be just too cool. My avatar should be self-explanatory lol.
I always thought the Defiant was the ugliest ship I'd ever seen.
And some of us think it's very definition of Starship Design perfection,... each to their own I guess.

I was pretty confident that the pilot ships that were leaked a few weeks ago were a T6 Defiant reskin but I was proven wrong. I still think the Defiant is around the corner though, the question is will it be part of a ship pack like the iconic ship pack was (and if so what are the ships the other factions will get), or will it be a stand-alone release and maybe even do the same thing the Pathfinder did by bundling the Belfast bridge with it.
I can see both being in the cards though an iconic ship pack mk II seems more likely.

Lol Nova is impossible, it's not an escort and Pilot spec is made just for them, like Command is for cruisers.
Probably I didn't explain myself. Reason why we won't see a T6 Nova soon (didn't say it's impossible in the future, but it is right now) is that there's no place for it.
Think about it for a second. You're assuming Nova can get Pilot seat because you want it, because there's no logic in your statement! For how things go, C-Store ships that are sold at T6 can accomodate one kind of specialization. Now, Command is for cruisers and period. For Intel we have already three science vessel with it: the Pathfinder, Dauntless and Scryer. A fourth one because... Nova? Not a chance.
JHSS, lobi and lockbox ships are another story, they're cash cows that can only be obtained by luck going against awful odds. Comparing them to C-Store ships makes no sense, reason why we only have one specialization available on C-Store ships.
Pilot is made for escorts, and even the boff powers are aimed to enhance weapon pointing and damage. A science vessel doing that? Seriously? Pilot Nova busted, not gonna happen. Only because there are two stats that are a bit over the average science vessel it doesn't classify as eligible for Pilot.
Defiant instead has everything set for becoming T6
I understand you're a fanatic of the Nova but stop drooling on speculations to convince yourself that it can happen, because it won't right now, nor in the near future with the current specialization. I am a Defiant fan, much like you are for the Nova, and I've been waiting for a revamp since years. Now the time has come, but I'm afraid it's not your moment yet.
Wild hints? Perhaps logic. Do a quick search in the forums, ask in known in-game channels: like everybody is expecting T6 Defiant for the reasons I've provided. If you thought that "drooling on speculation" was an insult well it's your own problem, as it was supposed to be an advice to not get your hopes too high like I did for the past 2 years in waiting for a T6 Defiant to happen.
To understand how Command is limited to cruisers and Pilot to escorts you just need to look back. With all the descriptions they made in blog posts on how Command and Pilot ships are supposed to look like, you get why I'm saying what I'm saying, I've got proof for that.
I simply told you a complete list of why T6 Nova won't happen right now, and a hopefully exhaustive list of reasons why T6 Defiant will happen. Again stop being fanatic about the Nova and try asking yourself "how likely is it that a T6 Defiant with Pilot seat can happen?"
Then do the same for your Nova. It's fast and nimble what? Compared to most science vessels, but terribly slow compared to escorts. It's not fitting because it's a science vessel, how come they made 9 ships to start with that have commander tactical, plus hybrid slots? Make that 10 if you consider the Lockbox Xindi ship which has, guess what, commander tactical. What ship category has commander tactical? Guess it.
But yea despite no solid proof a t6 defiant probably isn't far off, it does fit a pilot spec and it is the missing trifecta of the iconic fed ships.
Check the date of that post, 25 Mar 2015, a month and a half ago, back then we didn't even know details about the Xindi-Terrestrial lockbox ships, nor we did about the current Pilot ships. There are Sheshar (known for coming out already in Intel form), Mogh and Sovereign in those pictures, but more plausibly they have been used as placeholders to not reveal any details about the upcoming ships. in Q&A indeed
No details, ganted, but an updated Sovereign class model being used as the STO background art on Arc (since S10, replacing Kobali Prime) does tend to bias the case against a near future T6 Defiant (assuming only they'll release only one iconic FED ship at a time.)

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
What I personally would like to see for the defiant..
built in cloak like the Phantom
Quad Quantum Torpedo Launcher (no extra damage then regular single version)
Weapon synergy with quad cannon and quad torpedo launcher
Extra Pilot lt universal bridge officer seating
My reasoning.. TV show defiant had
4 phaser cannons (Quad Cannon)
4 Quantum Torpedo Launcehers (Quad Torpedo)
The set bonus would allow for the phaser beam overload which once again matches the TV Show. Sadly almost everything mentioned here was dumped into the the Intel Escort and is a reason why they may abandon the idea.

We have quads already in game, for all factions.
wtf quads can be used on every ship that can load DHC.
Would make more sense a Dual Quantum Torpedo, as the Defiant fired off two quantums at a time.
of course you have to buy the ship to use them, and existing set can be expanded and/or created. I'm really not getting your issues with having the quads restricted, as the energy type is faction specific, not the item itself.
Then I think we just fell in one big misunderstanding, lol.
Give it a unique trait like ablative hull and you have a winner
