The ONLY fair way to give the T6 connie the new T6 Miranda skin!

If you haven't heard, they are re-making the Miranda class model. It's currently on tribble. Here are some pics:

They don't re-make old low tier ships for no reason, so this obviously means they are making a T6 Miranda. And it will just as obviously be in a lock box or R&D promo pack(hopefully the latter).
Seeing this new skin, some people say "hey, can we get that new skin on our TMP connies"?
I say there is only ONE fair way to give this new skin to the TMP connies:
If you own BOTH the t6 TOS connie AND the new t6 Miranda, then you get to unlock the new skin on your connie.
This makes sense!

Actually... no. That does NOT make sense, as the T2 Cruiser has TMP Connie as an option for parts. Therefor you are gating everyone who has, or will have, the T2 Connie OUT of a model revamp, which makes no sense. When they redid the model for every other ship, they did not gate it behind having something else to get the new model.
The only ship that didn't get a remodel when a T6 was released to my knowledge was the Excelsior. Other than that, pretty much every other pre existing ships of lower tiers that have higher tier counterparts have gotten a remodel to make them more canon looking. If they remodel the TMP Connie, it will not be gated behind a Miranda and the promo Temporal Connie. It will be across the board for everyone.

With the huge number of people that have been wanting a T6 Miranda forever, of course it's going to be either lockbox or R&D. No way Cryptic is going to pass up on that kind of money by putting it in the C-store.....damnit.
Except that the Miranda is classified as a "Light Cruiser" in game. How does making it a light escort work? We already have a light escort, in the C-Store NX.

Escorts are the new hawtness, same as we had a year of science ships. The old Miranda is so tiny it's almost 'gender-neutral' to begin with. Saying its century-plus evolution was to go 'moar dakka!' ain't a real stretch.
As for the Klingon "warbird", which I believe was admitted to be an error on the movie writers part, Probably if they do a Kelvin Box 2, alongside the Kelvin or Franklin type starship for Feds and probably another Cryptic design for Romulans.

Nope NEVER a c-store it should be done just like th cluster F the TOS ships were so Miranda fans have to agonize over getting one if ever. On the Lockbox market for a few weeks the gone forever.
Why the hostility?

That Miranda looks amazing.
Yep, SOD the boxes, I say.
Not to mention just for the idea of the folks hording ships denied the chance to ask for blackmail prices will be worth that alone.
I know no one at Cryptic has that opinion, so I'm sure if they think they can make some money off of it it will be done at some point. So my alternate vote would be to stick it in some uber-rare box so I don't see a bunch of them running around.
And thanks, smokebailey, for the
T5 (before there was T6) / T6 Miranda requests were so common, just like endgame Connie threads that Cryptic didn't like those threads.
Anyways, we got TOS & ENT era ships at T6 now, so the floodgates are open.
Hmmm...Defiant is roughly the same size as a Miranda. Intrepid is a little larger than a Constitution. Excelsior is bigger than a Nova. It's not the mass. It's tech put into the ship.

It's amazing that so many people try to completely ignore this.
All the main ships after TNG were much small in size leaving TNG ships as oversized space whales.
Yeah the Klingon "Vesta" is nice stat wise but OMFG why a Gorn ship? I won't be using them just for that alone! Seriously what did they do look at a semi crumpled cardnoard box and go yeah that will make a good looking Klingon ship... Has all the charecter of a wet brown paper bag. It bugs the hell out of me they can do some great Klingon ships looks wise but then release some fugly things like these.
