it never appeared on screen, it isnt canon. to call it canon is to call prelude to axanar canon as well.. twisting that logic there a bit huh?
Parts of the artwork did actually appear "on screen" in both TMP & TWOK.
And parts of the verse were actually called out in TMP as background references.
Also, the folks that actually created those two movies, have been quoted through the years as saying that they purposely did that, so it would be considered part of the Official Canon.

Is there a dev or a mod or any other official statement that I'm not aware of? I see "multi-mission" but not "multi-faction" ships. As far as I can tell, there is no ship for the KDF or Roms. Of course for me the difference is between a slight grumbling about lack of cultural identity as opposed to disgust at the most blatant "F**k you" to the KDF/Roms I have seen in some time.
One of the devs answered this on Reddit. The Eternal and Ouroboros are cross-faction; everything else is Fed.
The term used was: "faction agnostic". Which I take to mean an alien ship...unable to customize per faction.
I really hate the way Cryptic and PWE are so vague with their game news. They must know they are going to end up provoking all the faction angst in their player base when they leave things hanging like this.
I'm pretty sure their plan was to explain it next blog when they give out more detailed info. Also, I have yet to see an official comment stating that ONLY two of the ships are "faction agnostic" as Swall put it. It does seem like a viable interpretation, but it's not confirmed.

Nah, blueprints and names that appear on screens do still cover it. Like the Wambundu. It's definitely a canon ship as it's a class that appears on readouts often in TNG. We just never saw a model for it.
Sorry, your ideas don't trump what was shown on screen.
and you have yet to prove the blueprint themselves were not just an idea that never made it past prototyping even for the sake of your head canon that you consider them canon.

Lovely to get into the TOS period, it's LONG overdue.
However, upon reviewing the packs, I'm a bit disappointed by the ships. Notably, the Daedalus class ship was nearly 100 years old by the time the Constitution entered service, yet you've STILL relegated the most powerful Federation starship of the TOS era to mere Tier 1 status.
It continues to make me sad that the most iconic, most famous and most significant Star Trek starship remains condemned to near uselessness.
All the ships have Temporal in their names, so I guess those are ships upgraded to counter the temporal incursion threat. Because otherwise how would those ships be able to compete with technology centuries ahead ?
The first part of the story might just be about discovering what's happening, and at that point you still fly a vanilla TOS ship.

But the mandate doesn't make sense now. If you are doing an actual TOS era then the Connie should near the end of of the tree not at the front. She is a powerful ship. originally only 12 were planned. So having her T1 in the TOS era MAKES NO DARN SENSE!

Yh the daed should b the t1 ship with the constitution at t4. Theres no temprol version of it atm so i will be very sad / disapointed if she doesent get the same teeatment as the other tos ship shown in the pack.

Yeah, I gotta weigh in on this one as well: When I first saw the announcement, I was thrilled. I love the TOS era and the TOS and Enterprise fans have been boned royally as their ships are useless at endgame. So if I had to reroll a character to play in the 23rd century, I'd be fine with that. But as mentioned, the connie is only T1 and "Temporal" doesn't appear in its name. I got the Exeter-class refit from the C-store and worked hard to make it viable for endgame (which it is, but it is challenging). I had hoped that with the introduction of t6 ships, the connie or at least a fleet or else an upgraded version of her would be elevated in status to a t4. But even in this 23rd century release she remains at the bottom.
Hopefully, if the connie gets a boost in later announcements, I'll jump onboard. But as it stands, it's not worth it to me to get a few titles and some nice looking ships, but still no connie improvements. I'll just keep flying my c-store connie refit in the 25th century, incurring rage throughout the galaxy.

I've been thinking and don't think I saw anyone ask. Since this T6 ships are from the future where both klingons and romulans belong to the galactic empire will they come with a battlecloak?
We'll see, I guess. There would be a good reason for temporal ships to at least have some cloaking ability. But ultimately I think the reason that the Federation isn't making a habit out of equipping its ship with cloaking devices is more a political statement than a technological limitation. If they can manage to cloak a Galaxy Class Dreadnaught, they should be able to cloak almost everything in the Federation fleet. That they don't means they do not want to.

because any non-canon design that wasn't created in-house at cryptic would require them to get special permission from both CBS AND whoever owns the design to put it ingame (like they had to do with the vesta), whereas canon designs are automatically provided for under the blanket license cryptic has with CBS since CBS owns them
the argument comes from the fact that several designs of starfleet ship have...dubious at best canon status because they were never seen onscreen as actual ships, but schematics or MSD images of them have been spotted

This has been commented upon already by people who agree with you, myself included.
MY only guess would be that those who are in charge of such decisions, didn't want the connie to have a T6 equivalent based on the connie design, like the rest of the ships, (remember you can use the older skins on the newer T6 vessels as per Salami), so the connie was intentionally kept at a lower tier/status and is the only ship, SO FAR AS WE KNOW, that's been excluded and doesn't have a T6 equivalent based on the TOS design. That's really odd.
But in my opinion, it almost feels to me as if this was done a tad too intentionally, it makes no sense to finally allow T6 ships to fly around with TOS era skins, only to exclude the connie itself, a ship everyone's been specifically going gaga for, FOR YEARS. I don't think either CBS or Cryptic would be that cruel.
It almost feels like there is still a shoe to drop on the subject, perhaps another revelation AND maybe another ship we haven't seen, or been told about yet.

Historically, Cryptic updates older models, like the Akira, the Intrepid ect. ect, to sell us a new ship.
I specifically feel as tho this is all points to some intentional tease, partly because we now know these TOS designs can be used on the new temporal T6 ships, but also remember that the connie was specifically and CRYPTICALLY featured at the end, in that earlier video featuring the new Na'kuhl story arc and new season. If you remember it set off the whole T6 connie debate again and this time, the discussion wasn't squelched like it has been in the past.
Someone's being, extremely coy about how bad some players want a T6 connie.
