Pilot Defiant to Revisit The Gamma Quadrant?

edited April 2018 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
It came to me in a reverie. The upcoming expansion would be the *perfect* opportunity to revisit the seating and update the mechanics of that hero ship. It wouldn't even require a visual refresh (aside from that funky lettering on the starboard nacelle). I can't be the only one this occurred to so, I'll go back to my musing on more serious matters, confident that Cryptic's got this...

    I don't believe changing ship layouts is something they usually do. Besides, the T6 Defiant is already a Pilot ship.

    Obviously they mean full pilot spec, but it wouldn't make sense anyway since the pilot thrusters are not something that the Defiant nor its variants (Sao Paulo and Valiant) actually had nor are they canon in the show.

    If the OP meant a full pilot ship, they're probably still out of luck. Ships being changed like that after launch isn't somethey they normally tend to do.

    Partially, it has the Lieutenant Commander Pilot seat of a common pseudo-pilot ship but not the unique abilities of a Pilot Escort.

    I can see them releasing a completely new T6 Defiant variant for the expansion.

    Neither had the Kumari cruisers, yet here we are.

    You are forgetting that the T5 Kumari's are based on the shows ones, but the T6 Kumari's are advancements over those original Kumari's so at least they have an excuse. ;)

    That makes it a perfect candidate for a cheap to implement DS9 lockbox ship as full pilot spec. They can one up it even more by including others from the pack that partial Defiant comes from so KDF and Rom's have access to a full pilot version as well.
    Green people don't have to be.... little.
