I am sick of discovery show ships and items being added to the game. I'd rather see more of the canon timeline ie {tos tmp tng ds9 voy}

Discovery IS part of the canon prime timeline. CBS makes the decision of what is and is not canon, no one else. Most of the older designs already have T6s though, and the Steamrunner and Oberth have both recently been teased for a future release. Discovery is new and is helping to attract new players, so ships from that show are going to be given priority, if you don't want them then simply don't buy them.
Cool, don't buy them. I don't buy the ships I don't want. Then I don't have them, which works out great for everybody!
But fret not, Cryptic also said they're looking into working in some Lower Deck stuff too, and they recently refreshed the Andromeda's skin, modeled out a new T6 Oberth, and a T6 Steamrunner.
They also previously mentioned they might revisit the Terran Empire story they started, so there's a small chance of at least getting T6 Mirror ships for less-popular ship types (Patrol Escort, DSSV, Achilles, etc), given that they've already marketed the Terran Legendary Gal-X (as opposed to a normal Legendary Gal-X). Could give all the Mirror ships a bit of a model and skin update, and make back some of that effort via Mirror Cross-Faction packs.
And if we're lucky, we'll get ships from SNW (ETA 2022), S31 (TBA), Picard (ETA 2022), that one CG Trek cartoon, and maybe Kelvin Movie IV (ETA 2023), given all of those are in the pipelines.
More likely it will be more like a continuation of the DSC stuff but with a crew and hero ship that is somewhat less objectionable to the most vocal segment of the traditional fanbase than DSC itself was. Same with Section-31 if they ever actually make it.

Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

Why couldn't the series just have worked within the rules? It wouldn't have taken much and then it wouldn't upset so many...and also, make the series so much worse than it is.
Just because you don’t like it’s direction does not in any way make it disrespectful to canon. Discovery is very mindful of the lore, just people that don’t like the decisions love to cry about it. They even try and push the line that Discovery is the only Trek that retcons it’s lore when that kind of thing has been happening for decades.
Nothing more then people just deciding they hate something and inventing reasons to validate that feeling.

I don't want to create the umpteenth thread about the issue, but when the Klingons discard their dead because the soul is more important, why create a ship of coffins?
Why hologram communication superior to what DS9 got brand new and that limited the Doctor for years on Voyager?
That list could go on and on and it wouldn't take taken a lot of effort to respect what came before and not just go off on a tangent that only those who beloved Star Trek can fight to explain, justify or look the other way about.
Simple answer. Don't like it stop playing. No one is forcing you to get the Disco stuff. It's mostly in gamble to win boxes anyway. So if you want to gamble your real cash in the hope you may get something that's upto you
You can punch holes the size of Jupiter into any Star Trek series from TOS all the way up to Picard.
Inconsistency is a defining trait of Star Trek, always has been. I won't try and say Discovery is perfect, it's not.. my only point is that none of it is. Plot holes are not unique to the newer series, not by a long shot.

Good advice! I follow that as well. I am no fan of Discovery, Picard, or Kelvin content. So I do not buy it and ignore as much STO game content that includes it as much as possible. I feel no loss by ignoring it or just considering it an alternate universe like the Mirror universe.
People who like it, buy it and play it. People who do not, avoid it. STO has broad enough content to keep a broad fan base happy.
If the Discovery content brings in more players and it generates more revenue for Cryptic, that is a good thing for STO.
It is good advice. What I think is better is to explain why you don't like it. That isn't too useful when you just dislike the show, unfortunately.
Personally, I don't like most ST:D designs at all, however there are a couple that I do like just the way they are, the "Donnie" and the modified Defiant are both pretty good looking ships to my eye.
For most other Star fleet ships the big issue I have with them is the jagged, blocky lines they all have. There's nothing graceful there. They are ugly to me and just painful to look at, like they are knock off products in some other industry. Klingon ships are all hideous.
If Cryptic actually gave these alternate forms that smoothed and rounded them out and gave them a more TOS or TNG era aesthetic, I'd probably like several of them quite a lot. Unfortunately they seem to give an alternate skin but little change to the model.
Things other than Discovery items will get added as and when they become relevant to in game (mostly). At the moment. I'm sure once Lower Decks restarts we will see more items pertaining to that show in game. The same for Picard. But asking for all Discovery content NOT to be included (which yes the OP has a right to voice their opinion) is a bit of a tall order. I am also correct in saying that the majority of Disco stuff is tucked away in Lock Boxes so the likelihood of them getting it is slim so Don't gamble on R & D boxes that contain Disco things etc.
Frustrating for those who want things other than DSC to be added to the game? Yes!
Does it mean people need to be bashed for stating their frustration? No!

As for holograms, mostly what limited the Doctor in VOY was the fact that everyone assumed by then that "hologram" included the ability to manipulate objects as though there were a body involved. The holos you see in DSC are simply light, with sound provided by speakers, differing from our current technology primarily in that they can be seen as if free-standing and can operate in realtime.
Now, if SNW brings us such holos, you'll have room to complain - it was specified in DSC that the Enterprise under Pike had had its holographic comms suite stripped out, as it was causing interference with other ship's systems.
Actually, they thought that everyone would gobble it up, as if it was like another TV show, which only lasted for two seasons which did not get any new content until that show was rebooted: Battlestar Galactica.
It wasn't until the start of the second season did they actually try something to pay homage (loosely) to the TOS era. Going to the 32nd Century (which they should have started Discovery in the first place) was the best way to not have to worry about past canon.
I don't like seafood aside from fish and chips, but I don't go around protesting at sushi shops.
Cryptic is a business. Enough players want these ships that they will keep selling them and making more.
DSC ships are paying for salaries and servers so that you can keep playing STO without paying a monthly fee and an add-on free for expansions. Be grateful for the DSC ships.
I prefer TOS myself, and Cryptic has given us the TOS Connie in several versions along with the other TOS skins for T6 ships introduced with AoY. Do you own all of the existing TOS ships?
Of course, it will be hilarious if someone has only ever watched Discovery, joins STO and discovers everything else. I still say that the Voyager transporter effect knocks the socks off the DSC for an initial example.
