I loved these ships the moment I laid my eyes on them and would love to have T-6 versions added. I suggest making them options for the Advanced Light Cruiser.

It doesn't really matter to me how they do it, I just want to play T-6 versions of those ships.

Best start saving now for the Promobox Light Utility Cruiser.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

I guess so, I would have thought making them cosmetics would be easier especially for just two ships.
Also, I don't know for sure how it goes with the toolchain that STO uses, but I suspect that rigging the models is enough of a time consuming pain in the posterior that even if the meshes were compatible it would not be worth the time and effort to make them skins for an already existing T6 with no extra income associated with it.
I would like to see a T6 version of the Pioneer and any other TOS style ship they are willing to do, but if they ever did them as skins for a T6 they would cost extra just like the Ranger and other TOS style ships do now (they are T5 ships that cost the full T5 c-store price (except for the fleet ones which cost the usual fleet prices) even if you just get them for their T6 companion ship to wear instead of using them as T5s).
It's funny, really. I never played through the Discovery tutorial until this past week. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I found that I also liked the Malachowski-class. The combat that I experience with it was smooth. Which, I suppose, is more a mechanics observation. But the look of the Malachowski felt right for what I was doing. I can understand why a player would enjoy leveling up with it.
I must change my earlier statement: T6 light utility cruiser: Pioneer and California, T6 utility cruiser Malachowski and Parliament.
@artan42 Yeah, or probably this: Lockbox ships with no customization whatsoever xD

It might be possible to add in the Malachowski, but its totally dependant on if they are compatible.
The parts have to have been made with the intent for kitbashing. That's why we can mix and match with most ships. They were designed from the get go to be able to do that. To do that with the Pioneer and Malachowski, they may have to totally rebuild the model from the ground up, along with whatever ship they decide to connect her to.
Adding options through a new ship is generally easier... if they planned for her to be compatible with older parts from the very beginning. That's why things like the Andromeda meshed well with the Galaxy. They had PLANNED for it right from the start. I don't know if they did for the Pioneer and Malachowski at all.
