I totally agree with you. I think with the TOS expansion and Kelvin lockboxes, it shows they'll make a T6 out of anything, potentially. I think you'll get your wish within the next 12 months.
Not quite anything....
Hey, I (and many others) waited 6 years for a T6 Connie, so there are plenty of people who have felt your pain
I think 2017 is going to be your year.
If it's going to be my year too, LOL, we'll see a T6 Mobius as well, and a T6 Elachi S'Golth (sp?) Escort. And a T6 Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer (already pretty much certain of the latter)... And fixed seating on them all; but maybe I'm pushing my luck here.
It seems since Delta Rising, Cryptic has starting giving people what they want: end-game ships based on earlier, canon hero ships. So, I think any canon ship with any kind of fanbase is going to see T6.
With the T6 Dominion, Keldon, and now Tal Shiar Adapted ships, it seems to me we now have precedent for T6-ing all the older lockbox stuff. Why wouldn't they? If it sold once, they know it'll sell again. I'll be a sucker and buy T6 versions of the earlier Tholian ships, I'll be helpless.
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am."
Don't know about a T6 Mobius - but considering the popularity of the Wells and Mobius I do expect to see T6 models of these at some point. As for the the Elachi escort - already a T6 version on console, which will no doubt find its way into the Infinity box in due course and the Adapted ships are likely to be in an upcoming lock box.
Wow, didn't even know console already has T6 Elachi ships. Not jelly, cuz it means we'll get them too.
And this is not a 'dig' at @meimeitoo - not at all, but the fact is the 'prize' ships are what really sell which is obviously a byproduct of the fact that they're set up to be better than anything that we can purchase from the C-store. In fact, the attitude toward canon ships is evident in the pecking order of ships:
R&D pack prize ships
Lock box ships
'Bundle' pack C-store ships (the command battlecruisers, Flagship crusiers, pilot ships etc etc)
Lobi ships (arguably en-par with the bundle ships)
Canon ships and free ships
The emphasis will therefore remain on those. Yeah, people want to fly the ships from the TV series (canon ships) - but catering to the tastes of canon-ites is never going to take priorty over their primary source of income; prize boxes. And the emphasis on prize boxes is likely the reason that C-store canon ships are generally inferior (in terms of BOFF and console layout AND the fact that they're not fleet level) to the prize and cryptic-designed bundle ships.
Yeah, it's really kinda sad the C-store hardly offers ships of real value any more (a few popular canon ships notwithstanding). Off-hand, I think I only have 1 or 2 R&D pack prize ships (the Elachi carrier, JHAS, etc), and the rest mostly Lobi and lockbox ships. And the Voyager & Odyssey C-store bundles.
If everything goes T6, though, I still hold out hope for your T6 Nova too.

Does Voyager have any anniversaries coming up? Its more about the marketing opportunities than anything - the ship modeler's time is limited, and they're pretty occupied turning out T6 variants for the lockbox upgrades.
I still think the Nova would do well spearheading a cross-faction trio of Science/Pilot ships for the Zeni store.
It seems since Delta Rising, Cryptic has starting giving people what they want: end-game ships based on earlier, canon hero ships. So, I think any canon ship with any kind of fanbase is going to see T6.
The only problem I see is how they are making them box ships only which causes them to go beyond the billion mark in EC, so while people do want these ships not everyone who wants them will be able to get them.

Let me preface this by saying I highly doubt that what I'm about to suggest will actually happen.
Most of those determined enough to drop the money necessary for the Temporal connie probably already have it now that it's been available twice, so eventually they are going to stay getting diminishing returns for this particular ship. Because of this, I do think there is room for a C-Store connie refit whenever they do update the ship, with a different boff layout, new console (some kind of prefix code hack or something?), set bonus with the Temporal console, and the TOS skin only available of you have the Temporal ship.
Like I said, I doubt this will actually happen, but there is room for it to be done I think, particularly with a ship that has so much interest. I already have the Temporal one myself (skinned as my favorite STO ship, the Excalibur), so I'm good either way, though I would appreciate an option with Intel seating instead ...

This is a possible option, and I think would be a good way to "throw a bone" to the player fanbase who missed out/can't afford the Temporal Light Cruiser.
I find it more likely they'll someday make a TMP lockbox and soak us again.

And thank you for the comment regarding the Nova; but I'm honestly not expecting to see one any time soon.
They recently redid the Nebula (about the same class of ship, right?), so Nova still feels quite possible to me: I wasn't just being nice.
Nebula had a real advantage though; probably 95% of the model utilises parts from the (fairly recently remodelled itself) Galaxy class and it's variants and I would imagine that probably made modelling the Nebula (and variants) a little easier.
The Nova has no such advantage.
Yeah, I recall you saying the Nova needed a lot of work, visually. Looking at the new Elachi S’ateth Escort, I just realized I like 'pointy'/triangular ships... like the Nova. Hope they don't mess up the latter too much when they finally *do* re-do them as T6.

I wish I had T6 TOS Constitution, but I came late to the game after taking a bit of a hiatus, never saw it on the exchange so, I missed out on the only ship I've wanted since I joined, now it looks like its gone for good.
But, I figure with the discovery of K-13 space station, could we have the emergence of a Starbase of that era and Fleet T6 Constitution TOS ?

Just a thought...
The T6 TOS Constitution never found it's way onto the exchange. The cap on exchange sales is 750 million. The T6 TOS Constitution never sold for anything less than one billion EC via private trades.
Thank you for the update info, cuz I read some where that they were on the exchange but, I figured they sold like "hot-cakes" and I kept missing out....
Private Trades for a billions EC...I wonder what Cryptic thinks about this bolstering a secondary market as a (T6) byproduct of their own lottery like reselling a raffle ticket - Bbut that's Econ 101 supply and demand in a "Free Market"!

Trading things with the trade window, like trading a ship for keys or items+ ec is not a 'secondary market' differently from the exchange.
The Exchange, in its self, IS a secondary market as they sell items they already own (came into possession of, i.e. won) and or, purchased from a primary market like the Zen Store!
Anyway (not to argue semantics), my point and (food for thought) was - what was Cryptic thinking, in creating monster demand and price hike, in offering the long awaited T6 version of the Constitution class ship -via- random chance values instead of a "For SALE" price tag approach? And, was this done purely - to - some how to ..."limit the access" of the ship in game, while keeping some people. who wanted the ship, in "disappointment mode" who lost out?
More importantly, will the ship be offered again and how?
I imagine they were thinking "The effective value of an endgame version of the most famous space ship in human history is nearly an order of magnitude higher than any Zeni-store pricing model we've ever proposed or seriously considered. We can EASILY get $100 a pop for these and likely $150 from the fans of the old series without them even blinking. But if we make the ship available in the zeni store continuously, that demand will blow itself out and the item will simply not net all that it could for us. We get one shot at this, because no matter how much players snivel, there's only going to be one version of these and we're not changing the method of acquisition after the fact or we nuke our most significant customers' loyalty. ...So hey, lets use a proven winner of a model already in the game. One where we can turn the faucet on and off at will, rather than being continuously available. It'll even let use sell less desirable but still cool ships to the other factions through the same box! R&D promo! it is..."
