No actual info, but based on the trend of T6 ship rolling out there is a very high probability of a T6 version Sovereign. I would like to have it for my Fed Engineer. However, I am more interested in getting a T6 Bird of Prey.
Hopefully the T6 BoP is released sooner rather than later because once Fallout 4 is released.....
Whilst there's nothing yet, I'd imagine it only a matter of time. Be patient.
In theory, we've various T6 ships still to come, those including (but not limited to) a Defiant, Bird of Prey, Vor'cha, Vesta, D'Kyr (they'd be fools not to introduce a T6 Vulcan Science Ship), along with the Flagships (Oddy/Bortas/Scimitar). Wouldn't surprise me if a few others like the Prometheus, Excelsior and Nebula (fan favourites) also got a T6 variant.

Some of those are already in the pipeline, according to the wise sages...

As someone who flew a standard Sovereign, then a Regent... (Non fleet, non T5U) I would start drooling over the idea of a T6. I'd get to fly the Lexington again!
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

I would absolutely love a T6 Sovereign Class. Not only would I like a T6 Sovereign, but I would hope that the in-game model gets an update like the Galaxy and Intrepid received. The Sovereign has been my favorite Star Trek class of Starship for many years and I've never really cared for the one in the game. Giving us a more detailed and canon accurate model would be fantastic. While a new T6 class would probably be uniquely designed by Cryptic, I sort of hope they would consider using John Eaves' Sovereign Refit we were supposed to see at the end of Star Trek Nemesis. In the end it was scrapped, but he still drew up the schematics for it.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

John Eaves did another one after the images from the website you posted. You notice the line on the main engineering hull is not there anymore and some information about the next TNG movie.
Eventually... there are already some popular ships in the pipeline from what Ive seen... the Severeign is sure to follow... and I can not wait for it... so long as its BOff layout matches the T5 ACR and FACR that we already have.

And an updated QSD same speed as the chroniton quantum slipstream drive on the multi mission explorer with a base speed of transwarp 25.
I'm guessing it'll happen in time. Maybe even use something similar to that one Polaris cruiser design that's popular here on the forums, which IIRC, was based on the Sovereign and has similar scaling. One of the John Eaves designs also has a lower hull similar to the Polaris, so maybe a fusion of both without directly using both.
Be nice to have a tier 6 Sovereign. Big no to the Excelsior thou by 2410 that ship class should be decommissioned, it should never have been a tier 5 in the 1st place. If we do have one it has to be made the weakest cruiser in the Fed line up. Andromeda, Ugly new BC, Guardian and the intel cruiser, forgot its name should all be superior to that rust bucket. In fact it's been ages since i last saw an Excelsior in any space PvE.
When a new T6 Sovereign does come, I hope the original Sovereign model gets fixed up the same way the Galaxy did for T6. It's really bad.
Well seeing there's an updated Sovereign class model on STO's S10 banner (check arc, social media) that's not so much a hope but an inevitability. :P
Its just a question of when, and that probably depends on 1. if C-store (with a new fleet holding its conceivable that cryptic could change the mode of T6 revamps. Say for example: Prometheus at T1, Vesta at T2, Sovereign at T3) 2. what specializations (if the next one then obviously there's going to be a longer wait) and 3. how the new T6 ship model is coming along (if the new fleet holding won't be involved.)

I doubt the new ships will be Fleet holding only (maybe for fleet versions, but unlikely). Every Tier 6 ship has either been an Event ship, special promotion, lock box or c-store ship, and the ones that are faction specific usually get the C-store treatment.

That doesn't say much though, this is the first time a fleet holding has been added with T6 in the game. Cryptic could take the opportunity to do something new. It also doesn't cut that strongly against precedent (since the spire included shipyard unlocks, fleet-T6 was rolled into the main holding, and the fleet system itself represents upgrades of existing ships locked behind fleet project requirements. This is just taking it another step forward with current systems.)

It should be there. It's one of my favorite aspects of his refit.
It is there, if you click on the link I post it has the other link with the picture you posted. Also you will notice the line at rear end of the engineering hull is gone and everything else is the same as the image you have posted. What I never understood was why did John Eaves reduce the length of the sovereign class?

It was a result of the nacelle positioning. He lifted them up and pulled them forward slightly. I don't think he wanted the ship to be smaller, that was just a side effect of playing with the engines.
It's likely. T6 iconic ships will fill the gap between releasing new trees. Maybe by the time a T6 MVAE comes out, the issue with the T5-U MVAE and upgrade tokens will be resolved.

Yes, I know what he did. But why did he do it? This is the question I am asking.
I have spent more on STO than I expected but after being 'stung' by a purchase of the Avenger and then Upgrading to Presido only to have the Arbiter come out within 24 hours (No joke!) I won't be making the mistake of buying any of the T5 ships even though Odyssey, Regent and Scimitar hold appeal to me.
I will wait patiently for T6 and if I level my Engineer and want to tank well.. I imagine the Presidio is a fairly capable tank.

Every faction ship that has come out has been in the C-store with the fleet versions coming to the fleets.

The Veteran ships and the Atrox and Klingon carrier I can never emember and the Romulan HEC Warbird like to have a word with you.
