I'd like to see a T6 verison of flight deck cruisers, Federation/Romulan/Orion (KDF).
Would anyone else like to see this.
I know Command Cruisers are simular, but they're not the same, and I'd like a T6 Orion ship.

The playable Flight Deck Cruisers in STO are the Orion Flight Deck Cruisers, the Daciot, Maruader, Corsair, The Voth Bastion Flight Deck Cruiser.
They're simular to Dreadnaught Cruisers, but Flight Deck Cruisers have abit more of a focus on they're fighters, Dreadnaught Cruisers on they're firepower, and Flight Deck Cruisers have the shield boosting command and I think Dreadnaughts have weapon buffing cruiser command instead.
Also Command Battle Cruisers are like the love child of a Flight Deck Cruiser and a Battle Cruiser, with extra command abilities on top. Both have a hanger bay, and the attract fire and shield modulation like a Flight Deck Cruiser, and the Starship Ability package and Cloak of a Battle Cruiser.
I'd like to see a T6 Flight Deck Cruiser.
The only difference between the FDC's and the Command Cruisers...the only thing that sets them apart is the fact the command battlecruisers can use Duals...otherwise they're the same. Same Cruiser commands same hybrid options...they're the same pretty much which more play styles open.
Beside honestly I want a T6 Corsair (not that I don't love flying my Fleet T-U Corsair).
Some T6 raider fighters would be nice too.

Orion Flight Deck Cruiser is a T5 ship bud.
Not counting fleet variants there's a flight deck cruisers on T5

Geko's favorite ship is the Excelsior, and it was thusly pushed to endgame again and again with T5, Fleet and by extension T5U variants.
T6 Excelsior is inevitable.
No reason to not throw some other people a bone here. If there can be a T6 Excelsior, why no Orion flight deck cruiser?
I'd have loved them to be Flight deck cruisers. They'd have to get FDC ship masteries and lose the D(H)C capability.
Of course I'm always for new Orion, Gorn, Nausicaan, or even Ferasan and Lethean ships.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Love those too.
But yeah, Orions need something substantial.

It will probably take as long for that T6 Orion FDC to arrive as the revamped Negh'Var did. Years. Hell, the T6 Orion FDC will arrive when T7 hits.
If Cryptic wants to be spiteful and make it pointless, they'll hook it up with a Command Hybrid Station.
Possible Alternative they could release on uneven bundle, say T6 Orion Corsair Flight Deck Cruisr, T6 Galaxy X Dreadnaught Cruiser, and Scimitar like they did with the T6 Andromedia Cruiser, Ne'Var Battle Cruiser, and the T6 D'Derix.
I doubt they'd do that, I think it will either be an Intel station, a new specialization, or a mix of stations like a Intel Lt. Commander station and a Tactical Ensign or higher.
Would be nice...though trouble is what specialization would it be? We have multiple Intel Cruisers for each faction and same with Command, Pilot wouldn't fit such massive vessels...so what would it be unless this waited till a 4th specialization?
That would be cool, it makes sense. I wonder what a cool Ship Trait would be for this hypothetical specialization. Maybe a buff to ship damage for each intact wing.
Perhaps a mix of low level specialization, or perhaps ScottStaten's CAG idea or something simular, or a Pirate Specialization.
Less Command Hybrid Stations in this game, the better. Command is just horrible.
I doubt the supposed T6 Orion FDC will be a "Premium Ship," i.e. Lockbox/Lobi/Promo Ship. Those ships are Cross Faction but the Orion ships and playable race is strictly in the KDF. Also, if you take a look at the BOFF seating of T6 Premium to Non-Premium Ships, you'll note only the Premium Ships have Limited Multi-Specialization access.
So this leaves the T6 Orion FDC would be either a Full Specialization Ship (my gut feeling says no) or a Non-Specialization Ship. My guess is the Non-Spec route is more likely. So Lt or LtCdr Hybrid Seat but no multiple specialization capability like the JHSS.
Whether the seat would be Intel, Command (Lord I hope not, that's awful), Pilot, or as you say, a new Spec.
I am all in pro to a top flight deck cruisers or a new marauder (i would love that) but a T6 Excelsior?? come on.... lolz. As i said, why not to give T6 to the miranda, connie and all the other T1-T4 ships? lol. This game has lost sense time ago when we talking about pushing ships to T6.
But non-canon ships? I am not so certain. Especially if it's KDF or Romulan. The market might just not be there for it.
I still would hope on it. At least for the Gorn Science Vessels. I liked their looks.
I like the TIer 3 or Tier 4 versions more than the Tier 5 version, though.
